Google Maps Api ?

[eluser]hykoh[/eluser]
Hi,

is it possible to get the latitude and longitude from a address via php ?

And if i got them => how can I calculate the circumcircle ? is it even possible to calculate the size of a city ? for example to choose a city like Paris with a circuit of 10 miles.

Thanks for help

With PHP I'm not sure, but if your using Google Maps API, look at the reverse geocoder. I think that is what gets the lat/long from an address. Its in the API documentation
