Marcelo,
Thanks for taking to time to reply.
Those values would work just fine for me if I weren't such a Maps/JS
newb so I apologize. If I were writing this in PHP, it would go
something like
$location=$_POST['location'];
$location_type = results[0].geometry.location_type;
if($location_type == 'ROOFTOP') {
$zoom = 16;
$msg = 'here is '.$location;
}
elseif(location_type == 'GEOMETRIC_CENTER') {
$zoom = 3;
$msg = 'could not find '.$location. 'but here is the street';
}
But then I'm not sure how to set the zoom in myOptions from that
variable or how to echo out the message from the $msg variable.
Thanks for any help and for your patience.
