Embed Google Map in your own web pages using PHP
Posted by on August 28, 2011
3yrs back, when I was first time assigned to integrat Google Map; I was so confused what to do!! But, when I finish my work, I feel it is very easy task. For embedding Google Map in your own web page,you have to write some lines of codes. I am explaining it step by step…
- 1st u have to download GoogleMapAPI.class.php
- Put this file in your project’s root folder. For me I put it in the E:/REDWOODONLINE/GoogleMapAPI.class.php
- On the top, out side the body tag [ <body></body>] you have to write some lines of code. those are as follows:
require('../GoogleMapAPI.class.php');- $map = new GoogleMapAPI(‘map’);
- // setup database for geocode caching
- //$map->setDSN(”);
- // enter YOUR Google Map API Key
- $map->setAPIKey(‘ABQIAAAAELfROqT4H8BC1qx4nXBjrRSwjRbdwkH4E4hnOSLZaUf7QmxmVRR3kIyLy-_UpNLuCQwydLfAaaLvMg’);
- //for REDWOOD
- $map->setWidth(’245px’);
- $map->setHeight(’155px’);
- // create some map markers
- $address=$arpostinfo[0]["PostCode"];
- $map->addMarkerByAddress($address,$arpostinfo[0]["PostCode"],’<b>’.$arpostinfo[0]["PropertyStreet"].’</b>’);
- $geocode = $map->getGeocode($address);
- $map->adjustCenterCoords($geocode['lon'],$geocode['lat']);
- $map->disableSidebar();
- $map->disableTypeControls();
- $map->disableMapControls();
- $map->disableDirections();
- $map->disableZoomEncompass();
- $map->disableScaleControl();
- $map->disableOverviewControl();
- $map->setZoomLevel(15);
- $map->printHeaderJS();
- You must write those line inside the php tag [ <?php ?> ]
- After you include the googlemapapi class, all the functions will be work automatically.
- In the line number# 5, you can see; you have to set up Google Map API Key. this key will be different for different pages. in my next post I will explain how to get this key.
- in the line number#13, you can see PostCode is bolder. this postcode we get from the database by query.if the postcode is not valid, it will not show any perfect MAP.
- inside the body tag [ <body></body>], where you want to show your map in the web page, there you have to write some line of codes. those are as follows:
- <?php $map->printMap(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">// <! [CDATA[document.write('<div id="map" style="width: 265px; height: 155px"></div>');}document.write('<b>Javascript must be enabled in order to use Google Maps.</b>');}// ]]><noscript><b> Javascript must be enabled in order to use Google Maps.</b></noscript>
- When you will write the 1st line, I mean $map->printMap(); Map will be shown on your web page. other lines are for prevent JScript error.
