I ported the nearby search from Doctrine v1 to Laravel, check it out here.

Just add the Geographical trait to the model then you can do:

$model->newDistanceQuery($request->query('lat'), $request->query('lon'))->orderBy('miles', 'asc')->get();

It works by using selectRaw with bindings like this:

$sql = "((ACOS(SIN(? * PI() / 180) * SIN(" . $latName . " * PI() / 180) + COS(? * PI() / 180) * COS(" . $latName . " * PI() / 180) * COS((? - " . $lonName . ") * PI() / 180)) * 180 / PI()) * 60 * ?) as " . $unit;
if($kilometers){
    $query->selectRaw($sql, [$lat, $lat, $lon, 1.1515 * 1.609344]);
}
else{
    // miles
    $query->selectRaw($sql, [$lat, $lat, $lon, 1.1515]);
}
