Get nearest places on Google Maps, using MySQL spatial data

Question

I have a database with a list of stores with latitudes and longitudes of each. So based on the current (lat, lng) location that I input, I would like to get a list of items

Answer 1

You should choose a database that is spatially enabled like mysql or postgresql and then you can use some of the ready functions they providing. Else if you want to do it manually check this for heads up.
