HiThank you very much for the code. I was breaking my head for nearly an hour. In the end I found that I have missed to set up the useragent after looking into you code. In the end the following line of code saved me another hour of frustration.curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]);Cheers,Sudar

Hi this is my adaptation to the code, im getting 403 Errors, I understand that the if (strstr($data,’200′)) is the OK from google. Even so, i added sleep(2) *(variations like usleep and lloop pause techniques like the one in my actual code. Can anyone help me out//CODE time()) { $url = “http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=”.$address.”&output=csv&key=”.$key; }$ch = curl_init();curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER,0);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);$data = curl_exec($ch);curl_close($ch);echo “Data: “. $data.” “;if (strstr($data,’200′)){$data = explode(”,”,$data);$precision = $data[1];$latitude = $data[2];$longitude = $data[3];echo $registo[”endereco”];echo “”;echo “Latutide: “.$latitude.”";echo “”;echo “Longitude: “.$longitude.”";echo “”;echo “”;} else {echo “Error in geocoding!”;echo “”;} } ?>

Thanks for providing the solution I was so tired of looking for. Now I can finally geocode my database and get on with the rest of my development.

This is GREAT! I spent all morning fooling with yahoo’s geocoder api (working on Gmaps), found this incidentally - and got it working in minutes. Thanks soooooooo much.
