How To Calculate Distance Between Two Latitude And Longitude In Laravel

We all know that get calculate use distance between two places using google maps, an event it's better, it will show the exact direction between two-point A and B, But what to do if we want to calculate that two-point distance from BackEnd.

You need to calculate that distance in the laravel query, But must need to store that user's current latitude and longitude and then calculate that user distance by given latitude and longitude from little logical query in laravel.

The calculation of the distance in the laravel query is a little bit difficult to remember. So it always needs to search and find it out.

The query will retrieve all the record distances by calculating miles between two points and can ordering that distance ASC or DSC.

So in this post, I will give you an example of how to find the distance between lat and long in the using laravel query.

The below DB::raw will give you the distance between that points.

Simple Query Distance Calculating

Simple db raw calculation component.

DB::raw("6371 * acos(cos(radians(" . $latitude . "))
    * cos(radians(doctors.latitude))
    * cos(radians(doctors.longitude) - radians(" . $longitude . "))
    + sin(radians(" .$latitude. "))
    * sin(radians(doctors.latitude))) AS distance");

Eloquent Full Example

Here is the full example through the routing params receiving in first param latitude and second param longitude.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

use App\Models\User;

Route::get('/user/{latitude}/{longitude}', function ($latitude,$longitude) {

    $user = User::select(
        'id',
        'name',
        'email',
        'user_type',
        'age',
        'dob',
        'verification',
        DB::raw("6371 * acos(cos(radians(" . $latitude . "))
        * cos(radians(doctors.latitude))
        * cos(radians(doctors.longitude) - radians(" . $longitude . "))
        + sin(radians(" .$latitude. "))
        * sin(radians(doctors.latitude))) AS distance"),
    )
    ->where('status',1)
    ->get();

    return view('user.list',compact('user'));
});

Example URL

This is my localhost will send a request with lat and long.
