This is a modern PHP port of the google/open-location-code repository. Please visit https://github.com/google/open-location-code for discussion and up-to-date information about Open Location Code ("OLC", aka "Plus Code") itself. This repository only concerns the PHP implementation.
But still, a short quote from said repository to introduce Open Location Code (OLC):
Open Location Code is a technology that gives a way of encoding location into a form that is easier to use than latitude and longitude. The codes generated are called plus codes, as their distinguishing attribute is that they include a "+" character.
An external demo is available to showcase the functionality of Open Lcation Code.
This PHP implementation is adapted from the Java implementation of google/open-location-code.
This implementation tries to use latest PHP features where possible.
Licence follows google/open-location-code.
via Composer:
composer require vectorial1024/open-location-code-phpSpecial Notice: to ensure 32-bit PHP compatibility, this library will check the PHP runtime and, if it detects a 32-bit PHP runtime, will use float variables instead of int variables to calculate Open Location Codes.
This may cause some unintended inaccuracies in 32-bit PHP, but generally speaking, there should be no problems.
