Currently, I'm learning to use Google Maps API. From what I read, the API require the latitude and longitude in Decimal Degree (DD).
In my database, the data is stored as DMS.
Example, 110° 29' 01.1"
I would to ask if you have any DMS to DD in PHP. And, the converter must accept from a single string like the example above.
Solved.
<?php
function DMStoDD($input)
{
$deg = " " ;
$min = " " ;
$sec = " " ;
$inputM = " " ;
print "<br> Input is ".$input." <br>";
for ($i=0; $i < strlen($input); $i++)
{
$tempD = $input[$i];
//print "<br> TempD [$i] is : $tempD";
if ($tempD == iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", '°') )
{
$newI = $i + 1 ;
//print "<br> newI is : $newI";
$inputM = substr($input, $newI, -1) ;
break;
}//close if degree
$deg .= $tempD ;
}//close for degree
//print "InputM is ".$inputM." <br>";
for ($j=0; $j < strlen($inputM); $j++)
{
$tempM = $inputM[$j];
//print "<br> TempM [$j] is : $tempM";
if ($tempM == "'")
{
$newI = $j + 1 ;
//print "<br> newI is : $newI";
$sec = substr($inputM, $newI, -1) ;
break;
}//close if minute
$min .= $tempM ;
}//close for min
$result = $deg+( (( $min*60)+($sec) ) /3600 );
print "<br> Degree is ". $deg*1 ;
print "<br> Minutes is ". $min ;
print "<br> Seconds is ". $sec ;
print "<br> Result is ". $result ;
return $deg + ($min / 60) + ($sec / 3600);
}
?>
