(PHP ActiveX) Google Maps Geolocation Request

Demonstrates how make a Google Maps Geolocation REST API request.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// This example duplicates the following CURL request:
// curl -d @your_filename.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" -i "https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=YOUR_API_KEY"

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Rest')

// Add the Content-Type request header.
$rest->AddHeader('Content-Type','application/json');

// Add your API key as a query parameter
$rest->AddQueryParam('key','YOUR_API_KEY');

// The JSON query is contained in the body of the HTTP POST.
// This is a sample query (which we'll dynamically build in this example)
