How to get current latitude and longitude in php using google map api?

Question

How to get current latitude and longitude in php using google map api? I am trying to get latitude and longitude using HTML5 but I am not able to get variables outside the function.Please share some knowledge regarding this.

$(document).ready(function () {
    var latitude = ''; var longitude = '';

    if(navigator.geolocation) {
        browserSupportFlag = true;
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
         latitude = position.coords.latitude;
         longitude = position.coords.longitude;
        }, function() {
          alert("Geolocation Failed");
        });
    }
    console.log(longitude); // I am trying to console this variable here but its print blank;
});

You should move the console log line inside the success callback: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/getCurrentPosition

In other words you have to wait that the execution of the getCurrentPosition gives you a result.

the question is about to get value in a variable outside that function

Mat Over a year ago

Ok but I don't think it's possible, it's a function with callbacks so you can use the position result only when it is available. In the success callback you can simply call a "processResult()" function and go on from there and manipulate the longitude variable in that point if you like

Actually I am also facing this kind of issue, I have an php file where I need to execute a sql query on behalf of the current lat and lang, I have tried to get lat lang by IP but that are not correct. I am not getting any solution to use this script with my php-mysql query

Mat Over a year ago

You could put an AJAX request inside the "processResult()" function that point a PHP script that execute a SQL query

You can store longitude and longitude into cookie or session using jQuery and use it anywhere else.

For Example:

var sess_longitude = localStorage[longitude];

its a good solution, and solve my issue as I can use cookie and also use that in php variable. Thanks for the idea :)
