I have a GPS script which I need to implement into my form in the background separately.
However, before I move on to implementing it with the form I need to see how to insert the latitude and longitude separately into two fields called "long" and "lat" in the database.
I have managed to separate them both into two div however still can not get it into my database.
He is the full GPS page code:
<script>
var latitude = 0;
var longitude = 0;
function geoFindMe() {
var output = document.getElementById("show");
if (!navigator.geolocation){
output.innerHTML = "<p>Geolocation is not supported by your browser</p>";
return;
}
function success(position) {
latitude = position.coords.latitude;
longitude = position.coords.longitude;
output.innerHTML = '<p>Latitude is ' + latitude + '° <br>Longitude is ' + longitude + '°</p>';
var img = new Image();
img.src = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=" + latitude + "," + longitude + "&zoom=20&size=300x300&sensor=false";
output.appendChild(img);
};
function error() {
output.innerHTML = "Unable to retrieve your location";
};
output.innerHTML = "<p>Locating...</p>";
fillLatitudeLongitudeDivs();
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error);
}
function fillLatitudeLongitudeDivs(){
document.getElementById("latitude").innerHTML = latitude;
document.getElementById("longitude").innerHTML = longitude;
}
function prompt(window, pref, message, callback) {
let branch = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch);
if (branch.getPrefType(pref) === branch.PREF_STRING) {
switch (branch.getCharPref(pref)) {
case "always":
return callback(true);
case "never":
return callback(false);
}
}
let done = false;
function remember(value, result) {
return function() {
done = true;
branch.setCharPref(pref, value);
callback(result);
}
}
let self = window.PopupNotifications.show(
window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser,
"geolocation",
message,
"geo-notification-icon",
{
label: "Share Location",
accessKey: "S",
callback: function(notification) {
done = true;
callback(true);
}
}, [
{
label: "Always Share",
accessKey: "A",
callback: remember("always", true)
},
{
label: "Never Share",
accessKey: "N",
callback: remember("never", false)
}
], {
eventCallback: function(event) {
if (event === "dismissed") {
if (!done) callback(false);
done = true;
window.PopupNotifications.remove(self);
}
},
persistWhileVisible: true
});
}
prompt(window,
"extensions.foo-addon.allowGeolocation",
"Foo Add-on wants to know your location.",
function callback(allowed) { alert(allowed); });
</script>
<p><button onclick="geoFindMe()">Locate</button></p>
<div id="show"></div>
<?php if(isset($_POST['sub'])){ $lat = $_post['lat']; $lat = $_post['long']; echo $lat; } ?>
<form method="post" action="#">

Has been editied by adding ---UPDATED--
Thank you in advance :)
check this: send javaScript variable to php variable
you may create new php file that takes 2 parameters and then insert that data to the database and then call that page.
so here's how the php file has to be:
$lat = $_GET['lat'];
$lon = $_GET['lon'];
$insert = "insert into `table_name` (lat, lon) values ('$lat', '$lon')";
//some sql to run the query
if(inserted())
echo 'done';
else
echo 'failed';
//just for testing
function inserted(){
return true;
}
then you'll need to call this file using from client's browser when he sets his location. and here's an example using jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript">
//make a get call to add.php
function addToDB(lat, lon) {
$.get('path_php_file/file.php?lat=' + lat + '&lon=' + lon, function(data) {
//data refers to the response
//check if the response == done
if(data == 'done')
alert('done!');
else
alert('failed!');
});
}
//call the function when user sets his location
addToDB(1, 2);
</script>
Hope this helps you!
