I am working in php.

i want to find out the places which are with in a given distance from a geographical latitude and longitude.

i have one table in a mysql database called places, in which there are three columns placeId, latitude and longitude.

user provide latitude, longitude of a place and a distance, then by using the following formula:

d=2*asin(sqrt((sin((lat1-lat2)/2))^2 + cos(lat1)cos(lat2)(sin((lon1-lon2)/2))^2));

i can check whether these place are with in the distance given by the user or not.

I want to know that how can i write a query and function to implement this functionality.

I have created below function in MYSQL

DELIMITER $$    
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS `great_circle_distance`$$
    CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` FUNCTION `great_circle_distance`(
    lat1 DOUBLE(10,6),
    lon1 DOUBLE(10,6),
    lat2 DOUBLE(10,6),
    lon2 DOUBLE(10,6)
    ) RETURNS double(10,2)
        DETERMINISTIC
    BEGIN
                    DECLARE delta_lat DOUBLE(10,6);
                    DECLARE delta_lon DOUBLE(10,6);
                    DECLARE temp1 DOUBLE(10,6);
                    DECLARE EARTH_RADIUS DOUBLE(10,2);
                    DECLARE distance DOUBLE(10,2);
                    SET lat1 = RADIANS(lat1);
                    SET lon1 = RADIANS(lon1);
                    SET lat2 = RADIANS(lat2);
                    SET lon2 = RADIANS(lon2);
                    SET delta_lat = lat2 - lat1;
                    SET delta_lon = lon2 - lon1;

                    SET temp1 = pow(sin(delta_lat/2.0),2) + cos(lat1) * cos(lat2) * pow(sin(delta_lon/2.0),2);
                    SET EARTH_RADIUS = 3956.0;
                    SET distance = EARTH_RADIUS * 2 * atan2(sqrt(temp1),sqrt(1-temp1));
                    RETURN distance;
        END$$

    DELIMITER ;

Using it as

Select great_circle_distance(z.lat,z.log, 32.2342,-72.42342) AS Distance from tbl_abc AS z;

I have created a simple php function to use MySQL queries.

Any query can be executed in 1 simple function.

In case of select query, We can get the selected arguments as variable name contains the selected argument value.

For ex :

<?php

q("select user_name,email_id from users where user_id=48");



   echo $user_name;   echo "<br>";
   echo $email_id;
?>

or you can set your own variable name by putting " as "

<?php

q("select user_name as uname, email_id as email from users where user_id=48");



   echo $uname;    echo "<br>";
   echo $email;
?>

result output will be :

  someuser
  someemail

If more number of rows has been selected, the variable name will be created as an array for ex :

<?php

      q("select user_name,user_id from users");

      for($n=0;$n<count($user_name);$n++)
      {

            if(count($user_name)==1)  // if single row is selected
            {

                $username_val=$user_name;
                $user_ids=$user_id;


            }else{
                $username_val=$user_name[$n]; // for multiple rows selected

               $user_ids=$user_id[$n];
            }

             echo $username;

      }

?>

or you can set your own variable name by putting " as "

<?php

      q("select user_name as un,user_id as uid from users");

      for($n=0;$n<count($user_name);$n++)
      {

            if(count($user_name)==1)  // if single row is selected
            {

                $username_val=$un;
                $user_ids=$uid;


            }else{
                $username_val=$un[$n]; // for multiple rows selected
                 $user_ids=$uid[$n];
            }

             echo $username_val; echo " "; 
             echo $user_ids; echo "<br>";

      }

?>

Result output will be : (If the user table has three rows )

User1 4043
User2 4048
User3 4056

Create mysql Connection file ex : mysql_connect_file.php

<?php

$dbc=new mysqli('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db');

?>

The php function is below

<?php

   require_once './mysql_connect_file.php';

       {

    $main_q=$q;
    $q=  strtolower($q);

              $temp=str_replace(" ", "", $temp);

         $temp=".$temp";
              if(strpos($temp, "update")==1 || strpos($temp, "insert")==1 || strpos($temp, "delete")==1 || strpos($temp, "alter")==1 || strpos($temp, "create")==1)

        return FALSE;

            { 
      return $$a[$t];
            }


     } 

?>

Notes :

You can save this code into a file then you can call this function by including that file name

for ex : if your file name is q.php ( --> contains q function ) then you can use the code for another files by including

<?php

include 'q.php';

  q("select user_name from users where user_id=4048");
   echo $user_name 
?>
