APRS.fi outputs their API calls in JSON format. I'd like to use this output to build markers in the Google Maps API. Has anyone been doing this successfully? PHP is fine if that is the way to go but maybe someone has developed a method with out it.

I am trying to use Google Analytics with php. I can't use javascript. Is there is any way around this?
I've tried some of php libraries but its seems these libs are not working.
Lib which i tried: http://code.google.com/p/serversidegoogleanalytics/
Thanks in Advance.
Yes, google provides a server side code here:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/other/mobileWebsites
Which provides a basic functionality and works perfectly for page views. However, it does not include events or custom variables. What you can do is use this code along with some simple functions that will allow you to sent the right parameters (utme) into the gif request.
Im working on a project..I have to add a google map of my location.Im new to this so any help will be appreciated . I know there are many tutorial but i cant find the best one.Thanks in advance :)
you might want to start here. This a tutorial from Google.
Google Maps API is very powerful but you need to have detailed information about Javascript (Jquery), PHP, mySql etc. Also you have to be familiar with Google Map services.
If you do not have enough time for that, you can have a look this PHP script. It is FREE and you can easily embed google maps on your PHP website. Also, it's possible to manage your maps without coding.
Basically all I want to do for now is just allow someone to enter an address and have it save the data in my database and display it on a Google map. Then when other people come to it, they can view the "pins" that other people have placed. Do I do all of the interaction with Google Maps using JavaScript? PHP?
I've done some searching and it isn't all that clear to me. Just looking for guidance on how to get started so I don't end up going back and changing things later on.
Google Maps is a client-side technology so you'll be using JavaScript. See this guide for getting started.
There are alot of tutorials on the web about the subject.
It is actually quite simple once you understand the API.
To get the pin's etc you can store them with php in MySQL and then to show the map just translate into values the API can understand.
Here is a good tutorial: https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/phpsqlajax
I would like to implement twitter search, but with the use of their API. I think most of you know the search which they have on their home page.
Search gives such link: http://twitter.com/#search?q=ipod ubuntu
I looked in API for a possible solution, but didn't find it.
Also it would be nice if the response to the request could be in XML format, since I know that some API methods allow only json or atom.
Hope there is one(with the use of API).
Have you looked at this twitter search api documentation?
You can return results in atom or json simply with http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=ipod+ubuntu
or
http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=ipod+ubuntu
Isn't atom an xml language? Shouldn't a decent xml parser be able to handle atom?
I've read through the Google Spreadsheets API PHP documentation. All examples are using Zend, which I cannot use. See this page: http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/docs/1.0/developers_guide_php.html
Does anybody know a simple example of the following:
How can I use PHP w/ curl (or whatever) and the Google Spreadsheets API to get the data from a Google Spreadsheets Doc?
It's my understanding that the data will be delivered in XML format. From there, I'll use PHP to manipulate it.
Google is your friend! ;)
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/php_client_lib.html
http://sim.plified.com/2008/09/14/accessing-google-spreadsheet-with-php/
http://farinspace.com/2009/05/saving-form-data-to-google-spreadsheets/
From what I can see and how most of the other Google API work, the Spreadsheet API is centered around URLs. You formulate a URL and an xml response is returned. It seams that for this particular product however, most the support is for the Zend framewok implementation. You could always download the Zend component and reverse engineer it to work.
The Google Spreadsheets Data API is documented here.
http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/docs/1.0/developers_guide_protocol.html
It's a REST API so you just need appropriately formatted GETS and POSTS as described in the docs.
The Zend Gdata implementation is the official PHP library for Google APIs. Not much of an answer I guess but I have to ask, why wouldn't you just use it? (It seems like you're reinventing the wheel... :-)
