PHP - Get Latitude & Longitude from an address [closed]

Answer 1

I tried above solutions but none was working then i tried to fix on my own so below is the correct code:

    $going=$this->input->post('going');

    $address =$going; // Google HQ
    $prepAddr = str_replace(' ','+',$address);
    $apiKey = 'Add your API Key'; // Google maps now requires an API key.

    $geocode=file_get_contents('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json? 
   address='.urlencode($address).'&sensor=false&key='.$apiKey);

    //print_r($geocode);

    $output= json_decode($geocode);
    $latitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
    $longitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;
