1. Find the distance between Longitudes and Latitudes
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 |
function getDistanceBetweenPointsNew($latitude1,
$longitude1, $latitude2, $longitude2) {
$theta
= $longitude1 - $longitude2;
$miles
= (sin(deg2rad($latitude1)) * sin(deg2rad($latitude2))) + (cos(deg2rad($latitude1)) * cos(deg2rad($latitude2)) * cos(deg2rad($theta)));
$miles
= acos($miles);
$miles
= rad2deg($miles);
$miles
= $miles * 60 * 1.1515;
$feet
= $miles * 5280;
$yards
= $feet / 3;
$kilometers
= $miles * 1.609344;
$meters
= $kilometers * 1000;
return compact( 'miles' , 'feet' , 'yards' , 'kilometers' , 'meters' );
}
$point1 = array( 'lat' =>
40.770623, 'long' => -73.964367);
$point2 = array( 'lat' =>
40.758224, 'long' => -73.917404);
$distance = getDistanceBetweenPointsNew($point1[ 'lat' ],
$point1[ 'long' ], $point2[ 'lat' ],
$point2[ 'long' ]);
foreach ($distance as $unit => $value) {
echo
$unit. ': ' .number_format($value,4). '
' ;
}
The example returns the following:
miles: 2.6025
feet: 13,741.4350
yards: 4,580.4783
kilometers: 4.1884
meters: 4,188.3894

function fue($hash,$times)
{
// Execute the encryption(s) as many times as the user
wants
for ($i=$times;$i>0;$i--)

// Encode with base64...
$hash=base64_encode($hash);
// and md5...
$hash=md5($hash);
// sha1...
$hash=sha1($hash);
// sha256... (one more)
$hash=hash( "sha256" ,
$hash);
// sha512
