arrays - PHP - Returning values from Google Maps API -

i wondering if help me out bit of code have.

i have function follows:

function getaddresscomponent($lat, $lng, $field) { $returnvalue = '-'; $url = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng='.trim($lat).','.trim($lng).'&sensor=false'; $data = @file_get_contents($url); $json = json_decode($data, true); if (isset($json['results'])) { foreach($json['results'] $result) { foreach ($result['address_components'] $address_component) { $types = $address_component['types']; if (in_array($field, $types) && sizeof($types) == 1) { $returnvalue = $address_component['short_name']; } } } } homecoming $returnvalue; }

i phone call function this:

$returnaddress = $this->getaddresscomponent( -34.872693, 138.490391, 'administrative_area_level_1' );

if run function administrative_area_level_1 type, returns nothing, if utilize $url , come in lat , lng in url returns results type... array looks so.

{ "results" : [ { "address_components" : [ { "long_name" : "22", "short_name" : "22", "types" : [ "street_number" ] }, { "long_name" : "blue-sails court", "short_name" : "blue-sails ct", "types" : [ "route" ] }, { "long_name" : "west lakes", "short_name" : "west lakes", "types" : [ "locality", "political" ] }, { "long_name" : "south australia", "short_name" : "sa", "types" : [ "administrative_area_level_1", "political" ] }, { "long_name" : "australia", "short_name" : "au", "types" : [ "country", "political" ] }, { "long_name" : "5021", "short_name" : "5021", "types" : [ "postal_code" ] } ],

it returns '-' locality , country 1 well.

i want homecoming '-' if doesnt exist, in case exist , doing head in.

any help appreciated.

cheers,

the biggest problem status within if:

as can see in json provided:

"types" : [ "administrative_area_level_1", "political" ]

its sizeof/count greater zero, contains 2.

so when utilize condition:

if (in_array($field, $types) && sizeof($types) == 1) { // fails // sizeof not equal 1

so basically, no values beingness assigned within $returnvalue, returns initialization -.

either alter > 0 or remove it.
