How to use PHP to implement itinerary planning and location positioning functions

With the development of technology, people’s demand for itinerary planning and location positioning in their daily lives is also increasing high. Whether it is travel arrangements or work schedules, effective itinerary planning and location positioning functions are needed to improve efficiency and convenience. This article will introduce how to use PHP to implement these functions and provide relevant code examples.

1. Implementation of the itinerary planning function

Itinerary planning refers to determining the best itinerary route through algorithms based on a series of locations and preset conditions. In daily life, applications such as Google Maps and Baidu Maps already provide users with itinerary planning functions, but if we want to customize a more personalized planning method, we can use PHP to achieve it.

First of all, we need to use a geographical information API to obtain information such as the distance between places and transportation methods, such as using the Amap API. We can use PHP's cURL function to send HTTP requests to the API interface and get the returned data.

The following is a code example that uses the Amap API to obtain the distance between two locations:

<?php
function getDistance($origin, $destination) {
    $url = "https://restapi.amap.com/v3/distance?origins=" . urlencode($origin) . "&destination=" . urlencode($destination) . "&key=your_amap_api_key";
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    
    $data = json_decode($response, true);
    $distance = $data['results'][0]['distance'];
    
    return $distance;
}

// 测试
$origin = "北京市";
$destination = "上海市";
$distance = getDistance($origin, $destination);
echo "距离：" . $distance . "米";
?>

your_amap_api_key in the above code needs to be replaced with the one in Amap API key applied for by the developer platform. By calling the getDistance function, we can get the distance between two locations.

Next, we can use algorithms for trip planning. Common algorithms include greedy algorithm, dynamic programming algorithm, etc. Here we take the greedy algorithm as an example to briefly introduce its principle.

The greedy algorithm is an algorithm that adopts the optimal solution at every step, hoping to eventually obtain the global optimal solution. During itinerary planning, we can select the next destination in sequence based on the shortest distance until all destinations are selected.

The following is a code example that uses the greedy algorithm for trip planning:

<?php
function planTrip($origin, $destinations) {
    $trip = [];
    $visited = [$origin];
    
    while (count($visited) < count($destinations) + 1) {
        $minDistance = PHP_INT_MAX;
        $nextDestination = "";
        
        foreach ($destinations as $destination) {
            if (!in_array($destination, $visited)) {
                $distance = getDistance(end($visited), $destination);
                
                if ($distance < $minDistance) {
                    $minDistance = $distance;
                    $nextDestination = $destination;
                }
            }
        }
        
        array_push($trip, $nextDestination);
        array_push($visited, $nextDestination);
    }
    
    return $trip;
}

// 测试
$origin = "北京市";
$destinations = ["上海市", "广州市", "天津市"];
$trip = planTrip($origin, $destinations);
echo "行程规划：" . implode(" -> ", $trip);
?>

In the above code, we define a planTrip function for trip planning. Get the distance between two locations by calling the getDistance function and use a greedy algorithm to select the next destination. Finally, an array of itineraries in planned order is returned.

2. Implementation of location positioning function

Location positioning refers to marking a specific location on the map and displaying relevant information. In daily life, for example, displaying the location and introduction information of a store on a web page. This section will introduce how to use PHP to implement the location positioning function.

First of all, we also need to use a geographical information API to obtain the coordinates and related information of the location, such as using Baidu Map API. You can also use PHP's cURL function to send HTTP requests to the API interface and obtain the returned data.

The following is a code example that uses Baidu Map API to obtain location coordinates:

<?php
function getLocation($address) {
    $url = "http://api.map.baidu.com/geocoding/v3/?address=" . urlencode($address) . "&output=json&ak=your_baidu_api_key";
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    
    $data = json_decode($response, true);
    $location = $data['result']['location'];
    
    return $location;
}

// 测试
$address = "北京市";
$location = getLocation($address);
echo "经度：" . $location['lng'] . "，纬度：" . $location['lat'];
?>

your_baidu_api_key in the above code also needs to be replaced with the API applied for on Baidu Map Open Platform key. By calling the getLocation function, we can obtain the latitude and longitude coordinates of the location.

Finally, we can use the Map JS API to display the location and related information of the place on the web page. For example, using Baidu Map's JS API, we can create a map on a web page and mark a specific location on the map.

The following is a code example that uses Baidu Map JS API to display locations and information on a web page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>地点定位</title>
    <style>
        #map {
            width: 500px;
            height: 400px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="map"></div>
    <script src="http://api.map.baidu.com/api?v=2.0&ak=your_baidu_api_key"></script>
    <script>
        function renderMap(address) {
            var map = new BMap.Map("map");
            var point = new BMap.Point(address.lng, address.lat);
            map.centerAndZoom(point, 15);
            var marker = new BMap.Marker(point);
            map.addOverlay(marker);
        }
        // 测试
        var address = {
           lng: 116.404,
           lat: 39.915
        };
        renderMap(address);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

your_baidu_api_key in the above code also needs to be replaced with the one in Baidu Map API key applied for by the open platform. By calling the renderMap function and passing in the latitude and longitude coordinates of the location, we can display the location of the location on the web page.
