Find distance between two points on earth. Find closest metro area.

Geo Distance

Calculate distance between two points on earth using longitude and longitude. Can be used to find out the closest metro area based on distance., _(*1)

Example:

// 1 Market St. San Francisco, California, USA
$start = array (
  'lat' => 37.793629,
  'long' => -122.394264
);

// Pier 39, San Francisco, California, USA
$end = array (
  'lat' => 37.808868, 
  'long' => -122.409842
);

$gd = new GeoDistance\GeoDistance();
$distance = $gd->distance($start,$end);

echo "Distance between the two points is: {$distance} miles\n";

The above should output the following:

Distance between the two points is: 1.3532202220106
