A PHP library that uses OpenCage Data's geocoder.
- PHP 5 or 7
- CURL extension or ...
- fopen wrappers
The OpenCage Data Geocoding Library for PHP attempts to use the CURL extension to access the OpenCage Data Geocoder. If CURL support is not available, the library falls back to using fopen wrappers.
To use the library you must either have the CURL extension compiled into your version of PHP
or configure the use of fopen wrappers via the allow_url_fopen directive in your php.ini.
Load the library:
require_once('OpenCage.Geocoder.php');Create an instance of the geocoder library, passing a valid OpenCage Data Geocoder API key as a parameter to the geocoder library's constructor:
$key = 'your-api-key-here';
$geocoder = new OpenCage\Geocoder($key);Pass a string containing the query or address to be geocoded to the library's geocoder method:
$query = "82 Clerkenwell Road, London";
$result = $geocoder->geocode($query);Putting all of this together, a complete sample would look like this:
<?php
require_once('OpenCage.Geocoder.php');
$query = "82 Clerkenwell Road, London";
$key = 'your-api-key-here';
$geocoder = new OpenCage\Geocoder($key);
$result = $geocoder->geocode($query);
print_r($result);
?>Running the above code sample will produce an output similar to this:
