I should have said what's the scope : I want : at providing an address, just use the capability of the geocoder of Google to provide me a latitude and longitude. I don't want to refresh a map or whatever on the page on which I am. I have a database containing lat/long of some places and I want my page to send the lat/long answer to my php script which will create another page showing items within a given address. The distance calculation will be done by the server.
I hope this is enlightening my question above.
