I want to use this formula with php. I have a database with some values of latitute and longitude saved.
I want to find, with a certain value of latitude and longit
I making the class of haversign which having the static fuction getDistance having the four paramters and it return the distance from the bot location points
class HaverSign {
public static function getDistance($latitude1, $longitude1, $latitude2, $longitude2) {
$earth_radius = 6371;
$dLat = deg2rad($latitude2 - $latitude1);
$dLon = deg2rad($longitude2 - $longitude1);
$a = sin($dLat/2) * sin($dLat/2) + cos(deg2rad($latitude1)) * cos(deg2rad($latitude2)) * sin($dLon/2) * sin($dLon/2);
$c = 2 * asin(sqrt($a));
$d = $earth_radius * $c;
return $d;
}
}
above class is stored at the root directory and root directory contains classes folder Call this by using the following way in any php page
include "../classes/HaverSign.php";
$haversign=new HaverSign();
$lat=18.5204;
$lon=73.8567;
$lat1=18.5404;
$lon1=73.8167;
$dist = $haversign->getDistance($lat,$lon,$lat1,$lon1);
echo $dist;
Output is as follow
4.7676529976827
