I tested this code on a test page but now want to implement it on a page that is called by an overlay (Lightview). The map is not displaying and I do not know why. The overlay spaces the size of a map, but nothing shows. Here is the code:

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$zipcode = $_REQUEST['zipcode'];
$lookupPerformed = false;
if (strlen($zipcode) > 0) {
$geocoder = new Geocoder('mykey');
try {
$placemarks = $geocoder->lookup($zipcode);
}
catch (Exception $ex) {
echo $ex->getMessage();
exit;
}
$lookupPerformed = true;
}
foreach ($placemarks as $placemark) {
$lat = $placemark->getPoint()->getLatitude();
$long = $placemark->getPoint()->getLongitude();
}
?>

You have a pile of things going wrong here, and somethings which I can't even see to tell you whether they are right or wrong...
At the bottom of the posted code, you have:
</head>
<form method="POST" id="ajaxForm" onsubmit="submitAjaxFormDemonstration()">
<input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" name="zipcode" tabindex="1" value=" <?php echo $_POST['zipcode'];?>" />
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Search" name="submit" tabindex="2" />
</form>
<body onload="load()">
<div id="map" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div>
</body>
</html>
You have a <form>...</form> element declared outside of the <body>...</body> tags - this is not valid HTML.
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<form method="POST" id="ajaxForm" onsubmit="submitAjaxFormDemonstration()">
<input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" name="zipcode" tabindex="1" value="<?php echo $_POST['zipcode'];?>" />
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Search" name="submit" tabindex="2" />
</form>
<div id="map" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div>
</body>
</html>
Fixes that... But you should probably use something like the W3C Validator to check your HTML code. Bad HTML will almost always break Javascript (like Google Maps).
Next, you are invoking a PHP script which you do not explain at all require_once('../maps/google.php');. What is it? Where did you get it? Have you consulted their Tutorials or Documentation?
You are only showing us part of the problem here. You need to go back to Square 1 and check each step as you move forwards. Jumping to the end (which, from the looks of your code, is what you've tried to do) means that one of the hundred steps between Square 1 and there may have broken, and now you have to go back and look for it.

I want to use google place api for specific city not world wide.
Currently i use below code
<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&libraries=places&types=(locality)&input={ahemdabad}" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
<input id="searchTextField" type="text" size="50" placeholder="Enter a location" autocomplete="on">
<script>
function initialize() {
var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: map.getCenter(),
map: map,
title: "hi"
});
}
</script>';
I am using a map to obtain the co ordinates of the location, and get it on my text box named "add". When I try to insert the data obtained from the text box into the table it shows error.

Elements with Disabled attribute are not submitted or you can say their values are not posted.
Replace this line of code

NOTE: Remember disabled field is not submitted with form submit, you need to use readonly for that.
I am trying to get a Google map displaying location information based on the IP address geolocation from a form submission.
The below PHP code work like this: If I enter an IP Address in the text box, it will give me city and country. I need to automatically get Google maps for the corresponding city:

You can manupulate this code acording to your needs,
var address = document.getElementById('address').value;
in var address you have to pass your $myString.$ip['cityName']. variable . hope this helps
How do I store the data returned by Google Places API to my database?

I just need an idea on how to dump the data returned by Google Places API in a database. Thanks!
You should post the result you got from google map API to your own server, maybe using your own API, and store it on your server.
Interacting with database via Javascript is although possible, it is not recommended.
As Quentin commented "low security environment is not web programming"
So the best approach is using Web Services (via API)
It seems you need to store lat/lon to your database(if needed parse
the lat/lon returned by Google API).
Then create JSON objects out of it.
Next learn about Ajax,
which is going to send data to, and retrieve data from, a server
asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the
display and behavior of the existing page.
Hope you understand.
I am using the PHP and AJAX coding below to populate a map showing various markers for a given location stored in a mySQL database.
The markers are correctly shown but what I would like to be able to do is to populate the fields on my form with the associated data from the database, so that as each marker is clicked the fields will show the data pertient to that marker.
PHP Code

$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$node = $dom->createElement("markers");

I think I'm half way there because I'm mangaing to pull all of the information from the database. I can see this when I run the php script in my web browser, but I'm just not sure what to do for the next step.
What do I need to do next?

CODE SNIPPET
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: point,
title: 'Click to view details',
icon: icon.icon,
shadow: icon.shadow,
formdateoftrip: "dateoftrip",
formfindcategory: "findcategory",
formfindname: "findname",
formfinddescription: "finddescription",
formpasref: "pasref",
formfindimage: "findimage",
formadditionalcomments: "additionalcomments"
});
bounds.extend(point);
map.fitBounds(bounds);
}
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
document.getElementById('dateoftrip').value = this.formdateoftrip;
document.getElementById('findcategory').value = this.formfindcategory;
document.getElementById('findname').value = this.formfindname
});
You can store additional data in your marker just by adding new fields like this:
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(
{
map : map,
position : point,
title : 'Click to view details',
icon : icon.icon,
shadow : icon.shadow,
myVariable1 : "some data from xml",
myVariable2 : "some other data"
});
Then all you have to do is register onClick event for the marker and put it's data into the form.
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function()
{
alert("Associated data: " + this.myVariable1 + ", " + myVariable2);
});
// Edit:
Obviously the code above only shows how to retrieve data from the marker - it was just an example. Putting your data from JavaScript into the form is a 2 step process. The first thing you have to do is to give every field you want to fill an unique id via "id" attribute. You've already done it. Then all you have to do is put following code in the onClick event (instead of alert() in the sample above):
document.getElementById('formdateoftrip').value = this.formdateoftrip;
// repeat it for other fields here
Good luck ;)
// Another edit:
I didn't notice you've put google.maps.event.addListener in wrong place. The reason it works for only one marker is you've put it outside your "for" loop which creates the markers. It has to be inside, right after the "map.fitBounds(bounds);" but before "}", so move it one line up.
The second problem lies in passing the data in the marker. If you want to reference variables, you can't put them in quotes. You use quotes to write strings.
Replace:
formdateoftrip: "dateoftrip",
formfindcategory: "findcategory",
...
Into:
formdateoftrip: dateoftrip,
formfindcategory: findcategory,
// fix the others below too
