从Google Maps API查询将JSON值分配给PHP数组

I am trying to find a way to assign the JSON value Google Map's API Returns when passed an address. I would search Google, but I am only a few month deep into PHP and really don't know what keywords to use. I really don't even know what a JSON is?

我正在尝试找到一种方法来在传递地址时分配JSON值Google Map的API返回。我会搜索谷歌，但我只有几个月深入PHP，真的不知道使用什么关键字。我真的不知道JSON是什么？

Anyway, I found this article that explains how to query Google Maps with an address and have it return a GPS Location. When I tested it in my browser, the text appears. I just don't know what to use to take what the browser is displaying and assign in to an Object in a PHP page.

无论如何，我发现这篇文章解释了如何使用地址查询Google地图并让它返回GPS位置。当我在浏览器中测试它时，会出现文本。我只是不知道如何使用浏览器显示的内容并将其分配给PHP页面中的Object。

This is the Google Maps Query:

这是Google地图查询：

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q="ADDRESS"&output=csv&oe=utf8

This my function where I want to use this:

这是我的功能，我想用它：

//Queries Google Map's API with an address and assigns the returned GPS Location 
//to this Object
public function build_me($this_address)
{
    //Builds the query from the address array to send to the Goole Maps API
    $query = $this_address["Line1"].",".$this_address["Line2"].",".
             $this_address["City"].",".$this_address["State"].",".$this_address["Zip"];

    //Location_Array = http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=$query&output=csv&oe=utf8
    $this->latitude  = //Location_Array['Something'];
    $this->longitude = //Location_Array['Something'];
}

This is the article that I am referring to: http://martinsikora.com/how-to-get-gps-coordinates-from-an-address

这是我所指的文章：http：//martinsikora.com/how-to-get-gps-coordinates-from-an-address

My question is, how would I go about doing this? Are there any good tutorials on this? Thanks in advance for anyone pointing me in the right direction!

我的问题是，我该怎么做呢？这有什么好的教程吗？提前感谢任何指点我正确方向的人！

Actually the URL you are showing will produce a CSV output (that is why it has the output=csv parameter). You can see it if you simply insert it into your browser (Downing Street 10):

实际上，您显示的URL将生成CSV输出（这就是它具有output = csv参数的原因）。如果您只是将其插入浏览器（Downing Street 10），您就可以看到它：

200,8,45.9797693,-66.5854067

200,8,45.9797693，-66.5854067
