In this quick tutorial I am going to share a quick php function to Calculate distance between two points in php using latitude and longitude,This below function calculates the distance between two points.
Passed to function:
lat1, lon1 = Latitude and Longitude of point 1 (in decimal degrees)
lat2, lon2 = Latitude and Longitude of point 2 (in decimal degrees)
Here is the function.
function calDistance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2) { $theta = $lon1 - $lon2; $miles = (sin(deg2rad($lat1)) * sin(deg2rad($lat2))) + (cos(deg2rad($lat1)) * cos(deg2rad($lat2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta))); $miles = acos($miles); $miles = rad2deg($miles); $result['miles'] = $miles * 60 * 1.1515; $result['feet'] = $result['miles'] * 5280; $result['yards'] = $result['feet'] / 3; $result['kilometers'] = $result['miles'] * 1.609344; $result['meters'] = $result['kilometers'] * 1000; return $result; } |
Example.
$distance = calDistance($lat1='28.7041', $lon1='77.1025', $lat2='26.5041', $lon1='75.0025' ); var_dump($distance); /* OUTPUT: array(5) { ["miles"]=> float(199.07401385446) ["feet"]=> float(1051110.7931515) ["yards"]=> float(350370.26438384) ["kilometers"]=> float(320.37856975259) ["meters"]=> float(320378.56975259) } */ |
