I have seen so many functions but it happens to work only for MySQL or Postgresql. I want the equivalent logic for PHP. I'm doing some comparisons, like I have this data that were being produced when created.
Lat: 56.130366
Long: -106.34677099999
Later on, I want to check if this coordinates will fall within a radius of another coordinates.
Lat: 57.223366
Long: -106.34675644699
radius: 100000 ( meters )
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the help. Below is an example function that takes two sets of longitude and latitude co-ordinates and returns the distance between the two.
function getDistance($latitude1, $longitude1, $latitude2, $longitude2) {
$earth_radius = 6371;
$dLat = deg2rad($latitude2 - $latitude1);
$dLon = deg2rad($longitude2 - $longitude1);
$a = sin($dLat/2) * sin($dLat/2) + cos(deg2rad($latitude1)) * cos(deg2rad($latitude2)) * sin($dLon/2) * sin($dLon/2);
$c = 2 * asin(sqrt($a));
$d = $earth_radius * $c;
return $d;
}
$distance = getDistance(56.130366, -106.34677099999, 57.223366, -106.34675644699);
if ($distance < 100) {
echo "Within 100 kilometer radius";
} else {
echo "Outside 100 kilometer radius";
}
