I've not used it myself, so I'm not sure how viable it is, but there is this PECL extension http://pecl.php.net/package/python that apparently lets you use Python from within PHP if you can't find a better native solution. cheers __________________________________ Keith Moss Satellite Remote Sensing Services Information Access Division Landgate 65 Brockway Road, FLOREAT WA 6014 PO Box 741 Wembley WA 6913 Ph.

dear all,
I develop in PHP and have almost no idea about Python and Perl, but thank you
anyway for the information.

I did some of this for python.
What langauge will you use?
Please report if you find some useful libraries.
Kind regards,

Long time ago I made a script solving similar problems:
http://mateusz.loskot.net/software/gis/pydecimaldegrees/
It is very easy to extend it to support all the format
variations you've listed above.

Potentially adding to your woes you should take into account that people
mix up axis order. It is a well established traditional fight between
developers, geodesists and the rest of the world. This page [1] sums up
the main issue. If you find a script that dares to deal with this, feel
free to add it as a link to that page.
Best regards,
Arnulf.
