Using Google API get Latitude, Longitude from places and get specific country for the same(using PHP)

Question

Using Google API get Latitude, Longitude from places and get specific country for the same. How can I do it? (using PHP)

$formattedAddr = str_replace(' ','+',$address);
//Sending request and receive json data by address

$geocodeFromAddr=file_get_contents('http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address='.$formattedAddr.'&sensor=false');
$output = json_decode($geocodeFromAddr);

//Get latitude and longitute from json data

$data['latitude']  = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
$data['longitude'] = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;

Answer 1

Grab it from formatted_address property. It contains full address, comma separeted with country after last comma. Try with:

$formatted_address = $output->results[0]->formatted_address;

$country = trim(end(explode(',',$formatted_address)));
