Google works in Javascript extensively - not a language with which I have in-depth experience hence my reason for asking for PHP solution.
For example the following will get me a JSON output with the distance in Kms and time. I don't know how to get PHP to read this information and extract just the distance. I need the distance so that I can calculate cost of a trip. <form id="google" action=" http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json"; method="get"> <input type="text" name="origins" value="" /> <input type="text" name="destinations" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="sensor" value="false"> <input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="1"> <br><a type="submit" onClick="document.getElementById('google').submit()"><strong><strong>Get Distance</strong></strong></a> </form> On 4 May 2012 15:08, David OBrien <dgobr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Google is still your friend > > On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 9:36 AM, Terry Ally (Gmail) <terrya...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Does anyone have a working/example PHP script that calculates driving >> distances between UK postcodes that they can share? >> >> Thanks >> >> -- >> *Terry Ally* >> >> Twitter.com/terryally >> Facebook.com/terryally >> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ >> To print or not to print this email is the environmentally-searching >> question! >> Which has the highest ecological cost?
