DistanceMatrix PHP API Wrapper
==============================

[](#distancematrix-php-api-wrapper)

Very simple API Wrapper for Google's DistanceMatrix API. Enter two addresses and the class returns the distance between them in meter. Alternatively use Google Static Map API to generate a map with a line plotted between two adresses.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install using composer:

```
$ composer require martijnoud/distancematrix

```

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

Calculate the distance in meters between the [Inktweb.nl office](https://www.inktweb.nl/) and Paleis Noordeinde in the Hague.

```
use MartijnOud\DistanceMatrix\DistanceMatrix;

$distanceMatrix = new DistanceMatrix(YOUR_API_KEY_HERE);

$distance = $distanceMatrix->distance([
    'origins' => 'Prof. van der Waalsstraat 2 Alkmaar',
    'destinations' => 'Paleis Noordeinde Den Haag'
]);

if ($distance > 0) {
	echo round($distance / 1000, 2) . "km"; // 84.5km
}
```

More control
------------

[](#more-control)

```
use MartijnOud\DistanceMatrix\DistanceMatrix;

$distanceMatrix = new DistanceMatrix(YOUR_API_KEY_HERE);

$distance = $distanceMatrix->distance([
	'origins' => 'Leith',
	'destinations' => 'Arques',
	'mode' => 'walking',
	'language' => 'en-GB',
]);

if ($distance > 0) {
	echo "I would walk " . $distance * 0.00062137119 . " miles"; // I would walk 493.88322020532 miles
}
```

Generating a map
----------------

[](#generating-a-map)

An API key is not required for this. If you do supply a key make sure this key has premission to use the Static Map API.

```
use MartijnOud\DistanceMatrix\DistanceMatrix;

$distanceMatrix = new DistanceMatrix();

$image = $distanceMatrix->map([
	'origins' => 'Prof. van der Waalsstraat 2 Alkmaar', // required
	'destinations' => 'Amsterdam', // required
	'size' => '728x200'
]);

if ($image) {
	echo '';
}
```

[](#todo)

Ideas for future versions.

- Show a map with a line plotted between two points
