Created on 11-Aug-2005
|
||||
|
||||
2.3 - 24 Aug 2006
|
||||
- Changed OSRef->toSixFigureString() so that the eastings and northings
|
||||
are rounded rather than floored.
|
||||
2.2 - 11 Feb 2006
|
||||
- Used different algorithm for calculating distance between latitudes
|
||||
and longitudes - fixes a number of problems with distance calculations
|
||||
2.1 - 22 Dec 2005
|
||||
- Added getOSRefFromSixFigureReference function
|
||||
2.0 - 21 Dec 2005
|
||||
- Completely different object design - conversion functions now through
|
||||
objects rather than static functions
|
||||
- Updated comments and documentation
|
||||
1.1 - 11 Sep 2005
|
||||
- Added WGS84/OSGB36 conversions
|
||||
1.0 - 11 Aug 2005
|
||||
- Initial version

|

|
||||
PHPcoord is a PHP script that provides functions for handling various
|
||||
co-ordinate systems and converting between them. Currently, OSGB (Ordnance
|
||||
Survey of Great Britain) grid references, UTM (Universal Transverse
|
||||
Mercator) references and latitude/longitude are supported. A function is
|
||||
also provided to find the surface distance between two points of latitude
|
||||
and longitude.
|
||||
|
||||
When using the OSGB conversions, the majority of applications use the
|
||||
WGS84 datum rather than the OSGB36 datum. Conversions between the two
|
||||
data were added in v1.1 - the conversions should be accurate to within
|
||||
5m or so. If accuracy is not important (i.e. to within 200m or so),
|
||||
then it isn't necessary to perform the conversions.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of how to use the functions provided in phpcoord.php can be
|
||||
found in the test.php script.
|
||||
|
||||

DISCLAIMER
|
||||
|
||||
Accuracy of the co-ordinate conversions contained within the PHPcoord
|
||||
package is not guaranteed. Use of the conversions is entirely at your
|
||||
own risk and I cannot be held responsible for any consequences of
|
||||
errors created by the conversions. I do not recommend using the package
|
||||
for mission-critical applications.
