It’s also possible to use MySQL to do a calculation to find all records within a specific distance. In this example, I’m going to query MyTable to find all the records that are less than or equal to variable $distance (in Miles) to my location at $latitude and $longitude:
$qry = "SELECT *,(((acos(sin((".$latitude."*pi()/180)) * sin((`Latitude`*pi()/180))+cos((".$latitude."*pi()/180)) * cos((`Latitude`*pi()/180)) * cos(((".$longitude."- `Longitude`)*pi()/180))))*180/pi())*60*1.1515) as distance
FROM `MyTable`
WHERE distance >= ".$distance."
For Kilometers:
$qry = "SELECT *,(((acos(sin((".$latitude."*pi()/180)) * sin((`Latitude`*pi()/180))+cos((".$latitude."*pi()/180)) * cos((`Latitude`*pi()/180)) * cos(((".$longitude."- `Longitude`)*pi()/180))))*180/pi())*60*1.1515*1.609344) as distance
FROM `MyTable`
WHERE distance >= ".$distance."
