I’m trying to replicate the following exemple :

http://www.leigeber.com/2008/04/map-your-users-using-the-google-maps-api-and-php/

How to integrate this PHP source code with the following Java script (replacing lat/lgt with $latitude/$longitude above ??? Looks easy but I’m a bit lost in mixing PHP and Javascript together ! ;-(

<script type="text/javascript"> 
    function initialize() {
      var map;
      if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
        map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));

        var zoomlevel = 9;
        var lat= 50.62829913465776;
        var lgt= 4.650295972824097;
        map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat, lgt), zoomlevel);

        // add a marker
        map.openInfoWindow(map.getCenter(), document.createTextNode ("Center of the map at (lat - lgt)= ("+lat+" - "+lgt+") ! "));

        // Large Map Default UI   
        map.setUIToDefault();

        // Map type
        map.setMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);     
      }
    }
    </script>

<body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()">       
        <div id="map_canvas" style="width: 1000px; height: 600px"></div> 
</body>

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Should be fairly easy. Once you’ve fetched the $latitude and $longitude according to the linked example, you can use PHP to echo those values out to your Javascript code.

    <script type="text/javascript"> 
function initialize() {
  var map;
  if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
    map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));

    var zoomlevel = 9;
    var lat= <?php echo $latitude ?>;
    var lgt= <?php echo $longitude ?>;
    map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat, lgt), zoomlevel);
    .........
    ...............
</script>

    That should get you going for the script mixing part. Remember, you’ve to use PHP to fetch the lat/long BEFORE you attempt to output the values to your JS.

    In response to your queries, here’s the general flow of code (say, in the file index.php):

    <?php
// Code from the blog
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
.....
.......
$latitude = $res[2];
$longitude = $res[3];
?>
<html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript"> 
        function initialize() {
          var map;
          if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
            map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));

            var zoomlevel = 9;
            var lat= <?php echo $latitude ?>;
            var lgt= <?php echo $longitude ?>;
            map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat, lgt), zoomlevel);
            .........
            ...............
        }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()">
    ......
    </body>
</html>

    See if this helps you 🙂

    Cheers,
