After these answers i am there

     $customer_address_url =  urlencode($customer_address);
     $merchant_address_url =  urlencode($merchant_address);

     $map_url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=".$merchant_address_url."&destination=".$customer_address_url."&sensor=false";

      $response_xml_data = file_get_contents($map_url);
      $data = simplexml_load_string($response_xml_data);

XML response is visible when i put this url : http://maps.google.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=Quentin+Road+Brooklyn%2C+New+York%2C+11234+United+States&destination=550+Madison+Avenue+New+York%2C+New+York%2C+10001+United+States&sensor=false

but can not printing through

      echo "<pre>"; print_r($data); exit;

回答1:

You can try this..

$url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=550+Madison+Avenue,+New+York,+NY,+United+States&destination=881+7th+Avenue,+New+York,+NY,+United+States&sensor=false";
$data = file_get_contents($url);

Now $data contains resulting xml data. You can parse this xml data using..
