Using Baidu Map API to realize the visualization effect of three-dimensional map in PHP

Using Baidu Map API in PHP to realize the visualization of three-dimensional maps

Introduction:
With the development of Internet technology, map applications play an increasingly important role in our lives. As one of the most mainstream map service providers in China, Baidu Maps provides a wealth of map APIs for developers to use. This article will introduce how to use PHP and Baidu Map API to achieve three-dimensional map visualization.

1. Baidu Map API application and development environment settings
1.1 Apply for Baidu Map API key
Before we begin, we need to apply for a Baidu Map API key. Keys are used to identify your website or application, and each key has access restrictions. You need to log in to Baidu Open Platform (http://lbsyun.baidu.com/) to apply for a key.

1.2 Create a project
After successfully applying for a key, we need to create a new project. In the Baidu Open Platform console, select "My Application" -> "Create New Application", fill in the relevant information and obtain the project ID.

1.3 Set up the development environment
In your development environment, make sure you have a PHP running environment and have the curl extension installed. curl extension is used to communicate with Baidu Map API.

2. Obtain the coordinate data of the three-dimensional map
In order to achieve the visualization effect of the three-dimensional map, we need to obtain the corresponding geographical coordinate data. Baidu Map API provides a service that can convert addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates. In PHP, we can use the curl library to interact with the Baidu Map API.

The following is a sample code for converting addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates:

status === 0) {
        $location = $json->result->location;
        $lat = $location->lat;
        $lng = $location->lng;

        return array("lat" => $lat, "lng" => $lng);
    }

    return false;
}

$address = "北京市海淀区中关村";

$coordinates = getCoordinates($address);

if ($coordinates) {
    echo "Latitude: " . $coordinates['lat'] . "
";
    echo "Longitude: " . $coordinates['lng'] . "
";
} else {
    echo "Geocoding failed!";
}

Please replace {your_api_key} with the Baidu Map API key you applied for.

3. Drawing a three-dimensional map
After obtaining the latitude and longitude coordinates required for a three-dimensional map, we can use Baidu Map's JavaScript API to draw the map and achieve a three-dimensional effect.

The following is a sample code for drawing a three-dimensional map on a web page:

Please replace {your_api_key} with the Baidu Map API key you applied for.

In the above code, we first create a map instance and initialize the map with the center point coordinates and zoom level. Then we added a label to the map and animated it.

4. Summary
Through the introduction of this article, we have learned how to use Baidu Map API in PHP to achieve the visualization effect of three-dimensional maps. First, we obtain the geographical coordinate data, and then use the JavaScript API to draw the map and achieve the three-dimensional effect. I hope this article has provided you with some help in map visualization development.
