Currently this class has three functions. Two require a Google API Key to work.
**1) straight_line_distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2, $unit='')** <br/>
This will calculate the distance between two sets of Latitudes and Longitudes. using a straight line or as the crow flies.<br/>
Using **$unit** you can have it display the distance in (Blank=Miles, K=Kilometers, N=Nautical Miles). Default=Blank or Miles. <br/>
Output: Distance Value
**NOTE: There is a file missing (class/key.php)** #### Google API Required Functions. ####
You will need to get your own Google API Key **2) getLatLong($address)** <br/>
This will return a Latitude and Longitude for a given address in a array format.
Change the **YOUR KEY HERE** with your key. Output:</br>
$Arr['status'] - Returns Google status for call. Normal = 'OK' </br>
$Arr['lat'] - Returns the Latitude. <br/>
$Arr['lon'] - Returns the Longitude. <br/>
Keep the key= part as it is required for the string.
key.php **3) getDistance($origin, $destination, $mode='driving', $unit='imperial')** <br/>
This returns the distance and duration it will take from the Origin to the Destination addresses. <br/>
Using **$mode** you can select from three types (driving, walking, bicycling). Default = driving. <br/>
Using **$unit** you can select from (imperial = miles or metric = kilometers). Default = imperial. <br/>
Output:</br>
$Arr['status'] - Returns Google status for call. Normal = 'OK' </br>
$Arr['distance'] - Returns the distance between origin and the destination. <br/>
$Arr['duration'] - Returns how long it will take to get from the origin to the destination. <br/>
