I want to retrieve Geo address from given latitude and longitude using geocoding,
using the given example on the site
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocod
You can check for 3 variables in the google response (json) to find the current cityname. Hence there is 3 different interpretation of the name:
Country
|
AdministrativeArea
|
|_AdministrativeAreaName (cityname)
|
|_Locality_LocalityName (cityname)
|
|_SubAdministrativeArea
|
|_Locality_LocalityName (cityname)
if ($this->json->Placemark[0]->AddressDetails->Country->AdministrativeArea->Locality->LocalityName != NULL) {
$code['cityname'] = $this->json->Placemark[0]->AddressDetails->Country->AdministrativeArea->Locality->LocalityName;
} elseif ($this->json->Placemark[0]->AddressDetails->Country->AdministrativeArea->SubAdministrativeArea->Locality->LocalityName != NULL) {
$code['cityname'] = $this->json->Placemark[0]->AddressDetails->Country->AdministrativeArea->SubAdministrativeArea->Locality->LocalityName;
}
If you have more then a Placemark you need to loop through all the array.
