I am using the google geocode api and it creates an array that I am not sure how to use. I need to pull specific elements from this array. Particularly the last latitude and longitude that is in the array.
{
"results": [
{
"address_components": [
{
"long_name": "1600",
"short_name": "1600",
"types": [
"street_number"
]
},
{
"long_name": "President's Park",
"short_name": "President's Park",
"types": [
"establishment"
]
},
{
"long_name": "Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest",
"short_name": "Pennsylvania Ave NW",
"types": [
"route"
]
},
{
"long_name": "Washington",
"short_name": "Washington",
"types": [
"locality",
"political"
]
},
{
"long_name": "District of Columbia",
"short_name": "DC",
"types": [
"administrative_area_level_1",
"political"
]
},
{
"long_name": "United States",
"short_name": "US",
"types": [
"country",
"political"
]
},
{
"long_name": "20500",
"short_name": "20500",
"types": [
"postal_code"
]
}
],
"formatted_address": "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, President's Park, Washington, DC 20500, USA",
"geometry": {
"location": {
"lat": 38.8978378,
"lng": -77.0365123
},
"location_type": "ROOFTOP",
"viewport": {
"northeast": {
"lat": 38.89918678029149,
"lng": -77.03516331970849
},
"southwest": {
"lat": 38.89648881970849,
"lng": -77.03786128029151
}
}
},
"types": [
"street_address"
]
}
],
"status": "OK"
}
Array
(
[latitude] => -77.0365123
[longitude] => 38.8978378
[location_type] => ROOFTOP
)
Edit
Since you have results in JSON and the structure is clear now with more formatting, here is how you can get to lat or lng value in that result
$object=json_decode($json);
$lat=$object->results[0]->geometry->location->lat; // same style for lng
echo $lat;
