如何通过PHP / CodeIgniter在不使用Google Maps API的情况下检查标记是否在圆半径内

Question

I am using Google Maps to develop a app using Code Igniter, and I have a big issue with feature of checking if the coordonates of a marker are within the radius of a circle which is stored in my database.

I will try to describe in pseudocode, and sorry I'm a rookie.

1. Right click-> a circle appears on the google map with a InfoBubble where you complete name, color and circle radius in meters;

2. Click save-> Using ajax I send the circle center, name, color, etc.

3. In the AJAX I am storing in the database the information about the circle, but before registering I need to set the number of markers that are found within the radius of the created circle.

I have searched and found this link http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html , but my math is not that great.

I need a function that takes the circle, marker coords and radius and that returns true or false if the marker is within the circle or not.

I made something that I found over the net but it does not work

public function arePointsNear($checkPoint, $centerPoint, $km) {
   $km = $km * 1000;
   $ky = 40000 / 360;
   $kx = cos(pi() * $centerPoint->lat / 180.0) * $ky;
   $dx = abs($centerPoint->lng - $checkPoint->lng) * $kx;
   $dy = abs($centerPoint->lat - $checkPoint->lat) * $ky;

   return sqrt($dx * $dx + $dy * $dy) <= $km;
}

Thanks!

Let me give you code that calculates that in Javascript; all within the Google Maps code, but the function that calculates the distance is just a function, not a service. (I don't know who wrote the function)

Your question is to have a PHP function, right? No doubt you can translate the javascript function to PHP; or you just trust the calculation in javascript and send that result with Ajax.

The code draws a Circle (center = Brussels; radius = 30km) and 4 markers. You can drag them all. Clicking on the button triggers the calculation. I show the result by turning the markers green or red.

(Do you know how to take over from here?)

<style>
  #map-canvas {
    height: 400px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
  }
</style>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
<input type="button" id="start" value="Click">
<p>Drag the circle, drag the markers; when you click the button it will calculate if the markers are in the circle</p>

    // settings
    var center = new google.maps.LatLng(50.84546, 4.357112);

    var markerPositions = [

          markers[i].setIcon('http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/icon_green.png');      // make or find a better icon
