I’ve been playing a lot with Geocoding over the past few months and caius helped me put some code together that I think you might like (if you’ve come here from Google searching for reverse geocoding with the google maps api)

class ReverseGeocode

{

public static function get( $latitude, $longitude,$apikey )

{

$url = “http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?”;

$url .= http_build_query(array(“oe” => “utf8″,”output” => “json”,”sensor” => “false”, “key” => $apikey)) . “&q={$latitude},{$longitude}”;

$raw_data = file_get_contents($url);

$data = json_decode($raw_data);

return $data;

}

}

class ReverseGeocode

{

public static function get( $latitude, $longitude,$apikey )

{

$url = “http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?”;

$url .= http_build_query(array(“oe” => “utf8″,”output” => “json”,”sensor” => “false”, “key” => $apikey)) . “&q={$latitude},{$longitude}”;

$raw_data = file_get_contents($url);

$data = json_decode($raw_data);

return $data;

}

}
