PHPAddressr is a framework agnostic set of methods that allows easy postcode / zipcode lookups, and conversion of addresses to longitude and latitude values via Google's mapping APIs.
Composer is the easiest way to install PHPAddressr.
composer require drawmyattention/phpaddressr
Google's geocoding API requires an API key in order to function. A key can be generated via their official API website. Please keep your API key safe, and outside of source control.
Once you have an API key, edit the config.php file to specify your key.
Alternatively, you can set the Api key using the setApiKey() method in the GoogleGeocode class.
$geocode = new DrawMyAttention\PHPAddressr\GoogleGeocode();
// Optional, if a key hasn't been provided in the config file.
$geocode->setApiKey('123abc');
$latLng = $geocode->getLatLng([
'building' => 'Dock offices'
'street' => 'Surrey Quays Road',
'city' => 'London',
'state' => 'Greater London',
'postcode' => 'SE16 2XU',
'country' => 'United Kingdom'
]);
/*
array(2) {
'longitude' =>
double(-0.0507361)
'latitude' =>
double(51.4965262)
}
*/
Note: Not all address values are required, however the higher number of accurate address parameters that are passed, the higher the accuracy of the longitude and latitude that is returned.
$geocode = new DrawMyAttention\PHPAddressr\GoogleGeocode();
$address = $geocode->getFullAddressByPostcode('SE16 2XU');
// An Address instance is returned.
