NYCPHP Meetup

[Anthony Papillion]

I had to get something like this working a few weeks ago and ended up 
using Google Maps. It's not an elegant solution but it works and it's 
free. Go to Google Maps and do a search. Do something like 74354 to 
70601. You will notices that on the left hand panel of the returned page 
will be something like Drive: 602 mi. Look at the HTML generated. You 
can parse that and get the distance. Pretty simple actually.

Hope it helps,
