Feature Class & Code here.
Example : get GPS position for a specific city in a specific country :
global $wpdb;
$s = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT latitude, longitude
FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."geonames
WHERE name='Paris' and country_code='FR' ");
echo $s->latitude . " - " . $s->longitude;
Example : 10 most populous cities in Switzerland :
global $wpdb;
$s = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT name, population
FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."geonames
WHERE country_code='CH' and feature_class='P'
ORDER BY population DESC
LIMIT 10");
foreach($s as $t) {
echo $t->name. " : " . $t->population . "<br />";
}
Example : hotels within 40 km from Marbella (ES) :
global $wpdb;
$p = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT latitude, longitude
FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."geonames
WHERE name='Marbella' and country_code='ES' ");
$dlat = 40 / 1.852 / 60;
$dlon = 40 / 1.852 / 60 / cos($p->latitude * 0.0174533);
$s = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT name, latitude, longitude
FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."geonames
WHERE country_code='ES' and
feature_code='HTL' and
latitude<".($p->latitude+$dlat)." and
latitude>".($p->latitude-$dlat)." and
longitude<".($p->longitude+$dlon)." and
longitude>".($p->longitude-$dlon)."
LIMIT 100");
foreach($s as $t) {
$d = (floor(sqrt(pow(($p->latitude-$t->latitude)*60*1.852,2)+pow(($p->longitude-$t->longitude)*60*1.852*cos($p->latitude * 0.0174533),2))));
if($d<=40) echo $t->name. " : " . $d . " km<br />";
}
Example : Suggest cities during the typing by the user (like Google search)
You must use Ajax action and PHP function with the name « wpgeonamesAjax »
In your theme, in function.php ; add :
function wpgeonamesAjax() {
global $wpdb;
$s = $wpdb->get_results(« SELECT name
FROM « .$wpdb->prefix. »geonames
WHERE country_code=’FR’ and feature_class=’P’ and name LIKE ‘ ».strip_tags($_POST[« city »]). »%’
ORDER BY name
LIMIT 10″);
foreach($s as $t) {
echo ‘
‘.$t->name.’
‘;
}
}
In your theme, in the right page ; add :
<input id="inpCity" name="inpCity" type="text" onkeyup="sugg(this,'<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>');" />
<div class="suggCity" id="suggCity"></div>
<script>
function sugg(f,g){
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.post(g,{'action':'wpgeonamesAjax','city':f.value},function(r){
jQuery('#suggCity').empty();jQuery('#suggCity').append(r.substring(0,r.length-1));
});
});
}
</script>
