finding distance between 2 points in kilometers, which converted in PHP comes out:


$distance=sqrt((($lat2-$lat1)*($lat2-$lat1) + ($long1-$long2)*($long1-$long2)))* 3960 * 3.141592/180

Note: this is a simple application of Pythagoras theorem. For advanced calculations try Googling it.

You will instantly clear your doubts.

I am wondering when Samsung is going to publish the next OS upgrade for my Galaxy S…

Though it sometimes causes my links to get mixed up in the colors of pics and sometimes even completely invisible…. I still in fact love these pics and let my links not interfere with it.

This leads me to requesting any budding photographer to submit their pic. I would love to have your pic placed on my website if I find it interesting. You can post links to the pics taken by you and I would make sure I check each one of it :)
