if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
die('Sorry cURL is not installed!');
}
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.example.org/yay.htm");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$search_data = json_decode($output);
$lat = $search_data->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
$lng = $search_data->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;
But how can i get it by using pin code or postal code?

Answer 1

Below code worked for me
<?php
$zipcode="92604";
$url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=".$zipcode."&sensor=false";
$details=file_get_contents($url);
$result = json_decode($details,true);
$lat=$result['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat'];
$lng=$result['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng'];
echo "Latitude :" .$lat;
echo '<br>';
echo "Longitude :" .$lng;
?>

Answer 2

This worked for me:
$zip = 94043;
$site = file_get_contents('http://geocoder.ca/?postal='.$zip, false, NULL, 1000, 1000);
$goods = strstr($site, 'GPoint('); // cut off the first part up until
$end = strpos($goods, ')'); // the ending parenthesis of the coordinate
$cords = substr($goods, 7, $end - 7); // returns string with only the
$array = explode(', ',$cords); // convert string into array
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array); // output the array to verify

With the curl you can get lat and long from below code:
$zipcode=90012;
$url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=".urlencode($zipcode)."&sensor=false&key=XXXXXXXX";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$search_data = json_decode($output);
$lat = $search_data->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
$lng = $search_data->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;
