I've set up google map API that loads data from mysql database and display markers. the problem I am facing is that all the markers shows up at once no matter whatever I input in search location field.............. I want to show only the searched area and markers in that area. It shouldn't display all the markers at once but only the marker in the searched area.
I mean I want to zoom the map to the searched area. Currently if I've only one marker map zoom in to show that but if I've many markers the map zoom out to show all the markers. Here is the map I'm working on "http://funfeat.com/clients/gmap/gmap3.html" NOW I've set markers very very far and the map is still showing all the markers by zooming out.
The gmap.php is the file that provide xml results from mysql database. and the below code is what I am using to display map

http://funfeat.com/clients/gmap/gmap.php?lat=47&lng=-122&radius=2 produces valid XML but your query must be wrong .It pulls out 10 markers, 9 of which are correct but the 10th produces <marker name="Pakistan" address="Chowk Azam, Layyah" lat="31.008364" lng="71.224342" type="cITY"/> which is certainly not within 2 miles of the coordinates. Your query should not pick up the last marker from the database.
As the use of mysql_ functions are discouraged the following code uses PDO can be used
//dependant on your setup
$host= "WWW";
$username="XXX";
$password="YYY";
$database="ZZZ";
// Get parameters from URL
$center_lat = $_GET["lat"];
$center_lng = $_GET["lng"];
$radius = $_GET["radius"];
// Start XML file, create parent node
$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$node = $dom->createElement("markers");
$parnode = $dom->appendChild($node);
//Connect to database
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$database", $username, $password);
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
try {
// Prepare statement
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, lat, lng, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(?) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(?) ) + sin( radians(?) ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM gbstn HAVING distance < ? ORDER BY distance ASC LIMIT 0 , 20");
// Assign parameters
$stmt->bindParam(1,$center_lat);
$stmt->bindParam(2,$center_lng);
$stmt->bindParam(3,$center_lat);
$stmt->bindParam(4,$radius);
//Execute query
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$stmt->execute();
EDIT Added to catch error if no records found
if ($stmt->rowCount()==0) {
$node = $dom->createElement("marker");
$newnode = $parnode->appendChild($node);
$newnode->setAttribute("name", "No Records Found");
$newnode->setAttribute("lat", $center_lat);//Sends marker to search location
$newnode->setAttribute("lng", $center_lng);
$newnode->setAttribute("distance", 0);
}
else {
End of EDIT
// Iterate through the rows, adding XML nodes for each
while($row = $stmt->fetch()) {
$node = $dom->createElement("marker");
$newnode = $parnode->appendChild($node);
$newnode->setAttribute("name", $row['name']);
$newnode->setAttribute("address", $row['address']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lat", $row['lat']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lng", $row['lng']);
$newnode->setAttribute("distance", $row['distance']);
}
}
echo $dom->saveXML();
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "I'm sorry I'm afraid you can't do that.". $e->getMessage() ;// Remove or modify after testing
file_put_contents('PDOErrors.txt',date('[Y-m-d H:i:s]').", gmap.php, ". $e->getMessage()."\r\n", FILE_APPEND);
}
//Close the connection
$dbh = null;
The part of the query above HAVING distance < '%s' is the part that should weed out the last marker.
I have added Error catch if no records are found in search and Map sent to lat/lng 0,0. See My Implementation Here

I need to find all the locations near by the lat long and radius provided.I think I can achieve this by using geofence but I don't know how to proceed.I have the following data.
set of lat long and to get the location for radius within 5km for all the lat long by each.
Any one help how to start this.
Inputs I have:
lat long
33.450909, -112.073196
33.466210, -112.064620
33.451640, -112.099130
33.437160, -112.048400
33.480860, -112.082130
33.489950, -112.074700

Using the above I can able to point single point,But what I want is to get the location around each lat long provided above radius is 5 km
If you are already using Google Maps, then I think you can try with computeDistanceBetween.
This is a short example of how to use it. You just need to eliminate those distances greater than the radius you set.
var home = ['Store', new google.maps.LatLng(29.520130, -98.415542)];
var pts = [
['Client A', new google.maps.LatLng(29.5197902, -98.3867079)],
['Client B', new google.maps.LatLng(29.5165967, -98.4235714)],
['Client C', new google.maps.LatLng(29.5198805, -98.3676648)]
];
var dist = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween;
pts.forEach(function(pt) {
console.log(home[0] + ' to ' + pt[0] + ': ' + (dist(home[1], pt[1])).toFixed(10));
});
I already have a working map where it generates a valid xml and can generate a marker on my map. Now what I want to do is to upon generating of maps for each loop in the xml I can create asynchronously a check box for each name. here is the code that generates the xml
function searchNearLocations(radius){
clearLocations();
var searchUrl = './designIncludes/phpLogicIncludes/searchMarkers.php?lat=' + userLat +'&lng=' + userLng + '&radius=' + radius;
downloadUrl(searchUrl, function(data) {
var xml = parseXml(data);
var markerNodes = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
for (var i = 0; i < markerNodes.length; i++) {
var name = markerNodes[i].getAttribute("name");
var address = markerNodes[i].getAttribute("address");
var info = markerNodes[i].getAttribute("info");
var tts = markerNodes[i].getAttribute("tts");
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(
parseFloat(markerNodes[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markerNodes[i].getAttribute("lng")));
createMarker(latlng, name, address,info,tts);
createCheckboxes(name);
bounds.extend(latlng);
}
map.fitBounds(bounds);
});
}
My createMarker()
function createMarker(latlng, name, address,info,tts) {
var html = "<b>" + name + "</b></br><u>" + address + "</u></br>" + info + "</br>" + "Time allowance to spend: " + tts;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: latlng
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infoWindow.setContent(html);
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});
markers.push(marker);
}
I'm not that good in javascript but I have a marker=[] array global variable. Can I use that variable to generate a checkbox with it?by the way I also have a pre made marker before invoking the searchNearLocations function and I want to add it on the latlng bounds. Is it possible to insert it on the loop?
Okay
Everything not having to do with the checkboxes, I ignored. You'll have to put it back in your code.

Can you manage to include this in your code?
EDIT:
Here is an example of locations in a DB; I bypass xml and communicate through JSON.
It gives you (kind of) a combination of your questions;
I have a different table on my DB, but that shouldn't be a problem.
I add jQuery, just for ajax.

You can add links/buttons, whith something like
<div onclick="searchNearLocations(50.80, 4.35, 20)">click: 20 km radius from (50.80, 4.35)</div>
To add the position of the client, check out my answer here
google getLocation function not work in my script
I have a script(get_search_data.php) that performs search from the database based on the keyword fname. i wish that according to the search result, locations should get displayed on the map (display_map.php) along with the marker and popup window for information.
table view for features_for_office
id fname co_address_line1 co_address_line2 lat lon

Although the map gets displayed but the markers are not getting displayed. would appreciate any help
It might be strange answer, but your code should work.
But if you mix up lat and lon in your database markers would still display but you won't see them because they appear in another part of the world.
If I am wrong please post the the structure of json response from php script
I have some issues with Google maps api v3. I managed to create a map where new markers are displayed when the user drag the map. However, it do not delete the past markers. I have read many tutorials and thread (especially this one: Google Maps V3: Updating Markers Periodically) without success.

Thank you for your help!
Keep track of the google.maps.Marker objects created, delete them before creating new ones.
var map;
var gmarkers = [];
/* Ici, on ajoute l'écouteur d'événement suite à un glisser / déposer */
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'dragend', function() {
var bds = map.getBounds();
var South_Lat = bds.getSouthWest().lat();
var South_Lng = bds.getSouthWest().lng();
var North_Lat = bds.getNorthEast().lat();
var North_Lng = bds.getNorthEast().lng();
downloadUrl("getPoi.php?maxlat="+North_Lat+"&minlat="+South_Lat+"&minlong="+South_Lng+"&maxlong="+North_Lng, function(data) {
var xml = xmlParse(data);
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
// hide and delete the existing markers
for (var i=0; i<gmarkers.length; i++) {
gmarkers[i].setMap(null);
}
gmarkers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
createMarker(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")), parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")), markers[i].getAttribute('titre'));
}
});
});
function createMarker(lat, lng, titre){
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: titre
});
// keep a reference to created markers so you can remove them
gmarkers.push(marker);
}
This is based on my understanding of your question... To clarify... When the map is moved the markers are placed over the old markers? A.K.A. They are 'doubling up' on map drag?
Create an array to hold the markers.
var markers = [];
Then, add the markers to the array in 'createMarker()' function. Also, check to see if a marker has already been created, and if so, do not recreate.
function createMarker(lat, lng, titre) {
for( marker in markers ) {
var coord = marker.getgetPosition();
if( coord.lat() == lat && coord.lng() == lng )
return;
}
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
markers.push( new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: titre
}));
}
I have this code that selects the type of a restaurant. After selecting any type the page is refreshed and after some SQL processing I get all restaurants corresponding to the selected type and show it in Google Maps.
How can I do that without refreshing the complete page, like only refreshing the <div> containing Google Maps?
<select class="mapleftS" name="type" id="type" onchange="changeType(this.value)">
<option value="0">كل الانواع</option>
<?$type = mysql_query("select * from rest_type ");
while($rod = mysql_fetch_array( $type )) {
if($rod[id] == $_REQUEST['type'])
$selll = 'selected';
else {$selll = '';
?>
<option value="<?=$rod[id]?>" <?=$selll?> ><?=$rod[name]?></option>
<? } ?>
</select>
<script>
function changeType( id ) {
parent.location = '?type=' + id;
}
$(function() {
var text_menu = $("#type option:selected").text();
$("#ddddd_").html(text_menu);
});
</script>
After selection this code is run:
if($_REQUEST['type']) {
// do some thing and refrsh map div
} else {
// do some thing and refrsh map div
}
And the following element contains Google Maps:
<div id="mppp" class="map"></div>

You can use an AJAX pattern to refresh part of your page.
move your SQL code into another script - e.g. query.php
return a list of results in a JSON format
when the list changes call runQuery
use the function to parse the returned data and update your map
<script>
function runQuery() {
$.ajax({
url: "query.php?type="+ $("#type").val(),
cache: false,
success: function(data){
// code to process your results list;
}
});
}
</script>
This is an AJAX concept where you are able to change only a portion of your page without having to do a full page refresh or Postback.
You will find a ton of examples on what you are trying to do but the main concept is that you will:
-Take user input
-call back to your server with values
-have the server return you information that you then use to append or overwrite a portion of the page
