Trying to create an xml file by accessing a sql database and sorting through its files. The overall purpose of this program is to parse out the data and determine which of 54 sites is closest to an entered zip code. Comes in three parts, the main page interface, the search php page, and finally the access codes and database location. I'm including the search php code because I believe there is an error there.
===================PHP CODE======================
require("phpsqldbinfo.php");
// Get parameters from URL
$center_lat = $_GET["lat"];
$center_lng = $_GET["lng"];
$radius = $_GET["radius"];
// Start XML file, create parent node
$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$node = $dom->createElement("markers");
$parnode = $dom->appendChild($node);
// Opens a connection to a mySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect ($server, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
die("Not connected : " . mysql_error());
}
// Set the active mySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ("Can't use db : " . mysql_error());
}
// Search the rows in the markers table
$query = sprintf("SELECT name, address, lat, lng, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('%s') ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians('%s') ) + sin( radians('%s') ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM markers HAVING distance < '%s' ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 20",
mysql_real_escape_string($center_lat),
mysql_real_escape_string($center_lng),
mysql_real_escape_string($center_lat),
mysql_real_escape_string($radius));
$result = mysql_query($query);
