How to use Baidu Map API to implement surrounding search function in PHP

In recent years, as people's demand for location services has increased, map-related applications have become more and more popular. As one of the most commonly used map interfaces in China, Baidu Map API provides a wealth of services and functions, among which surrounding search is one of the most popular functions. This article will introduce how to use Baidu Map API to implement the surrounding search function in PHP, and provide corresponding code examples.

First of all, we need to apply for our own developer account on the Baidu Map open platform, create an application, and obtain the corresponding key. This key will be used to authenticate subsequent API calls.

Next, we can start writing PHP code to implement the surrounding search function. First, we need to make sure that PHP has the curl extension installed, because we will use curl to send HTTP requests to call the Baidu Map API. If the curl extension has not been installed, you can uncomment the relevant configuration of the curl extension in php.ini, and then restart the PHP service.

Then, we can create a PHP file and first define some constants, including the URL of Baidu Map API, key and keywords to be searched. The code example is as follows:

In the example, we define the URL of Baidu Map API as the constant BAIDU_MAP_API_URL, and define the key applied for the Baidu Map Open Platform as the constant BAIDU_MAP_API_KEY, defines the keywords to be searched as the constant SEARCH_KEYWORD, and sets the search radius as the constant SEARCH_RADIUS (unit is meters).

Next, we can write a function to call Baidu Map API to search. The code example is as follows:

In the example, we use the custom function searchNearby , pass in the geographical coordinates to be searched $location parameter. Then, we construct the URL of Baidu Map API and splice it according to the keywords to be searched, geographical coordinates, search radius and other parameters. Then, use curl to send the API request and get the returned JSON data. Finally, we parse the JSON data into an array for easy use in subsequent operations.

Finally, we can call the above function in the main program and perform corresponding processing. The code example is as follows:

';
    }
} else {
    echo '搜索失败，错误码：' . $result['status'] . '，错误信息：' . $result['message'];
}
?>

In the example, we pass in a geographical coordinate 39.915, 116.404As a test, call the searchNearby function to perform surrounding searches. If the search is successful, we iterate through the search results and print out the name and address of each result. If the search fails, we print out the relevant error message.

To sum up, this article introduces how to use Baidu Map API to implement the surrounding search function in PHP, and gives corresponding code examples. Through this function, we can easily integrate the function of obtaining surrounding information into our own applications to provide users with better services and experiences. I hope this article will be helpful to everyone in development!
