Basically I’m having a problem with getting google maps to tag addresses that are in my database, when I use php to do:
print codeAddress("example address");
it works fine, however, when I set it up as I have it here it doesn’t even display the map, can anybody here help me with this issue?
Thanks,
Wakeeta

creates invalid Javascript code because when PHP expands the $field variable it will not be in quotes. This prevents the map from displaying because the Javascript encounters a fatal error. Try this:
