I successfully created a Google Maps mashup for a site I am working on
by I am tearing my hair out by something simple.
On the map webpage I created I have an address search form that zooms
and centers in on an address.
I want to make a similar form on all other pages of the site, but I am
having trouble passing the data using PHP (which is then passed to
javascript into the map).
All I need it to do is to zoom and center the map to the address that
is entered. What is the best way to go about this?
I tried using the same function I already use for the same page search
form by passing in php to javascript data. I used the old <?php
$whatever = $POST_["something"] ?> (<--in the body) and var
something_else = $whatever (<-- within my javascript tags). The
function is as follows, and was written by google :
function showAddress(searchaddress) {
if (geocoder) {
geocoder.getLatLng(
searchaddress,
function(point) {
if (!point) {
alert(searchaddress + " not found");
} else {
map.setCenter(point, 13);
}
}
);
}
}
Should I try placing the function in my onload() function or is it not
even feasible for what I'm trying to do? Is there a way to use
variables with the map.setCenter() function? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
I can post code snippets if needed.
