$output= json_decode($geocode);
$latitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
$longitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;
echo "latitude - ".$latitude;
echo "longitude - ".$longitude;
}
if(isset($_POST['submit_coordinates']))
{
$lat=$_POST['latitude'];
$long=$_POST['longitude'];
$url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=".$lat.",".$long."&sensor=false";
$json = @file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($json);
$status = $data->status;
$address = '';
if($status == "OK")
{
echo $address = $data->results[0]->formatted_address;
