The information comes from the Google Maps API. Features -------- [](#features) - Calculate the distance in - Kilometers - Miles - Yards - Enable/Disable SSL Verifier - Set Google MAPS API key (Optional, its not required at this date May 25th of 2015) ### Installing via Composer [](#installing-via-composer) Use [composer](http://getcomposer.org) to install this package. Run the Composer command to install the latest stable version of Redbox-distance: ``` composer require redbox/distance ``` After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader: ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; ``` ### System Requirements [](#system-requirements) This package only requires the following: - Curl - PHP >= 5.40 Dit will also require **PHPUnit** 4.6 but that will be installed upon installing the package using composer. ### Examples [](#examples) Lets calculate the distance between Amsterdam and Rotterdam (Netherlands) using GeoLocations: ``` use Redbox\Distance; $p1 = new Distance\GeoPoint(52.364533, 4.820374); /* Amsterdam */ $p2 = new Distance\GeoPoint(51.925538, 4.471867); /* Rotterdam */ $tool = new Distance\CalculateDistance(); $distance = $tool->setSource($p1) ->setDestination($p2) ->setUseSslVerifier(false) ->getDistanceInKM(); echo "Example 1"; echo 'The calculated distance is: '.$distance.' KM'; ``` Calculate the distance between Den Helder and Haarlem (Netherlands) using posalcodes: ``` use Redbox\Distance; $p1 = new Distance\GeoZipCode('1781 GC'); /* Den Helder */ $p2 = new Distance\GeoZipCode("2011 SR"); /* Haarlem */ $tool = new Distance\CalculateDistance(); $distance = $tool->setSource($p1) ->setDestination($p2) ->setUseSslVerifier(false) ->getDistanceInKM(); echo "Example 2"; echo 'The calculated distance is: '.$distance.' KM'; ``` Other available calculations are: ``` $distance->getDistanceInMiles(); ``` and ``` $distance->getDistanceInYards(); ``` Troubleshooting --------------- [](#troubleshooting) If you get an error regarding SSL connectivity you might want to disable verify peer (CURLOPT\_SSL\_VERIFYPEER). The calculateDistance class offers a method to disable this. Consider using the setUseSslVerifier() method if needed like so. ``` $distance = $tool->setSource($p1) ... ->setUseSslVerifier(false) ... ``` Sometimes the postalcode feature could return wrong results. To battle this also add the country to the postalcode like so. ``` $p1 = new GeoZipCode('1781 GC Netherlands'); /* Den Helder */ ``` Author ------ [](#author) Redbox-distance is created and maintained by [Johnny Mast](mailto:mastjohnny@gmail.com).
