Simple cached geocoding service wrapper for Google maps V3 API
Provides a safe and simple wrapper for geocoding in PHP using the Silverstripe framework.
Features:
Safe-detection and prevention of daily request limit excession. This should help avoid getting your IP blocked from Google once you hit your daily limit.
Caching of requests to prevent unnecessary API calls.
Extract all files into the 'geocoding' folder under your Silverstripe root, or install using composer
composer require "tractorcow/silverstripe-geocoding": "3.0.*@dev"
// Instance is explicitly created here, but it's better to have this as an injected dependency
$address = '123 Fake Street, Fakuranga, New Fakeland';
$service = Injector::inst()->get('GeocodingService');
$result = $service->geocode($address);
if($result['Success']) {
$latitude = $result['Latitude'];
$longitude = $result['Longitude'];
echo "Found address at $latitude,$longitude";
} else {
user_error("Could not geocode address: ".$result['Message'], E_USER_ERROR);
}
