Phoogle 2.02 w/ Google Geocoding (and International Support)
One of the biggest complaints I’ve received in the past few weeks has been lack of international support which I thought I had fixed in 2.01. Also alot of people have asked why I used Yahoo’s geocoding API instead of Google’s. When Phoogle Maps was first released about a year or so ago Google did not offer a geocoding API. In fact the first version used geocoder.us to get the points, then Yahoo’s and now Google’s.
The change to Google’s Geocoding API should allow greater international support. If it doesn’t let me know. Please note that I do read all emails, it’s just that due to sheer volume it’s hard to respond to all of them.
Thanks to Mike Wilt and several others who have submitted code to this iteration of Phoogle.

Hi,
I am using the phoogle class and had problems with geocoding adresses in geneva for example.
–> genèva –> to be able to parse this address I had to change the xml2array function to this :
function xml2array($xml){
*************************
$xml = utf8_encode($xml);
*************************
$this->depth=-1;
…..
ciao
