Is there an example how to use reverse geocoding like nearbyplaces in php?

I don't have an example for the geonames services. You find a lot of other examples and tutorials on the web :

This should help you to get started.

I just want to know hoe the http regquest looks like in php and how I get my information returned.

Example using PHP 5
Code:

 $url  = "http://ws.geonames.org/hierarchyJSON?geonameId=6447142";
 $json = file_get_contents($url);
 $data = json_decode($json, true);
 var_dump($data);

Note : json_decode() does not exist using PHP4

Thanks. But with reverse geocoding I have a lat and lng. Where do I put this information in the url and how do I refer to the city, province, country and countrycode?

Nico.

Use lat= and long= parameters
Code:

 $url = "http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceNameJSON?lat=47.3&lng=9"
 $json = file_get_contents($url);
 $data = json_decode($json, true);
 foreach ($data["geonames"] as $key => $val) {
 	echo $val["name"]." ".$val["countryName"]." ".$val["countryCode"]."<br />";
 }

When I test this code I get the following error???

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in .... on line 2

Just add a missing ; to the first line.

Can u Help me I have List of Latitude, Longitude, in mysql database .....Let me know how can i get the mysql data as output by getting in a map.....

$url = "http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceNameJSON?lat=17.24&lng=78.18";
