I am using PHP/MySQL to return store locaitons based on distance from a give lat/lng.
I am currently using a hard coded lat/lng location but I would like to store a users Location either by Browser Geolocation or a geocoded text box or something.
is it possible to use HTML5 GeoLocation and then access the lat/lng as PHP variables so that I can pass them to MySQL? I have my php/mysql working, I am just not sure how to grab the users location
You will need to use ajax to pass the data to php.
You can look at jQuery’s ajax library:

Or at a ajax tutorial:
