Remember this only works on Mozilla Firefox 3.5. I’ll later come up with using this method to plot user on Google Maps, So follow on !

R=G(G)
R=G(G(G))
R=G(G(G(G)))…

So there is a never ending loop.
I don’t know if this is the “most absurd” deduction, but still you can think about it and just laugh

Those were all the fancy part of the post. I mean just to make the post seem humorous. Now I actually Googled for Google on Google. Google showed up with some of these “interesting” results.

Result Analysis I:

This is the first result shown. As you can see it shows up with a www.google.com, with meta-description or title or the striped content
Enables users to search the Web, Usenet, and images. Features include PageRank, caching and translation of results, and an option to find similar pages.
And when you carefully observer the HTML codes of www.google.com, then you can see no such text (not even hidden) in the page, not in its meta content as well. So how is this possible, untill… someone injects that… someone who has the authority. You can think of anyone.. notes,books,page or heart,lungs,brain.. any one…
There were similar things happening with googlemaps,googlevideos,googlereader…….

Result Analysis II:

Another interesting site that comes up is http://www.thechurchofgoogle.org. This site claims Google to be the nearest to God where mankind have ever been to. It does not blindly worship Google as God but gives you 9 scientific/spiritual proof, for believing that. It says Google as Omniscient (all-knowing) and Omnibenevolent in a most logical fashion that no one can argue. The most interesting proof is proof#8

According to Google trends, the term "Google" is searched for more than the terms "God", "Jesus", "Allah", "Buddha", "Christianity", "Islam", "Buddhism" and "Judaism" combined.

Result Analysis III:

You can find this on http://justfuckinggoogleit.com. It is just a site.. reminding the power of Google or claims “All Smart people user Google”. Nice to own such a domain.

Result Analysis IV:

www.googlefight.com. This site makes a fight amongst the two keywords on the basis of total number of search results of the respective keywords returned from Google. It was fun.. at least to me while comparing with my name and friends name.

Guess this would be my last post for this year… and I would take a chance to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR... Keep Googling.. on Google.

Lets focus on the #17-#26 Lines of codes. Other Lines are already described on other posts. Please see the related post link below the post.
#17: Creates a GMarker on the point where clicked on the Map.
#18: Addes the GMarker over the Map.
#19: Initiates an array of tabsinfoTabs with GInfoWindowTab function with tabname and its innerHTML as parameters.
#20: Opens the infowindow calling openInfoWindowTabsHtml function and the array of tabs as parameters.

Due to high request of the visitors I have posted the whole source code here.. just copy the PHP part above anywhere the script part and get the IP code from http://roshanbh.com.np/2007/12/getting-real-ip-address-in-php.html and run. Remember you need PHP5, because the DOM used is of PHP5.

Before I write down the codes there is something we should know. Google provides a service of returning CSV (Comma Seperated Values) when requested to http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=$query&output=csv&key=$key. The $query may contain address, zip code, city and country. The service also outputs in other formats. But we have choosed CSV format because it would be easy for us to explode the values separated by commas. The output type is defined by the output parameter in the URL. The output or response we then receive are in the format of geocode, accuracy, latitude, longitude. $key is the Google maps API key.

<?php
class googleRequest {

  var $gKey;
  var $code;
  var $Accuracy;
  var $latitude;
  var $longitude;
  var $address;
  var $city;
  var $country;
  var $error;

  function GetRequest() {

    if (strlen($this->gKey) > 1) {
      $q = str_replace(' ', '_', $this->address.','.$this->zip.'+'.$this->city.','.$this->country);
      if ($d = @fopen("http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=$q&output=csv&key=".$this->gKey, "r")) {
        $gcsv = @fread($d, 30000);
        @fclose($d);

       $output=array();
       $tmp = explode(",", $gcsv);

       // $this->code      = $tmp[0];
       // $this->Accuracy  = $tmp[1];
        $output[0]=$this->latitude  = $tmp[2];
        $output[1]=$this->longitude = $tmp[3];
        return $output;

      } else {
        $error = "NO_CONNECTION" ;
      }
    } else {
      $error = "No Google Maps Api Key" ;
    }
  }

}

?>

The above class can be implemented as following.

$obj_google=new googleRequest;
$obj_google->zip=35005;

/* alternate uses
$obj_google->country="Country Name Here";
$obj_google->city="City Name Here";
$obj_google->address="address";
*/
$obj_google->gKey="ABQIAAAAPHLcOOGHX2-uLk3K8q1nMRTkUAbhgKwL1jWWfpv-KGJeCrct7hTsLLnZdnZjzehmRIkaePagQvKNbw";
$latlng=$obj_google->GetRequest();
var_dump($latlng);

The above returns latitude and longitude of place with zip code 35005 as array(2) { [0]=> string(9) “33.592857″ [1]=> string(10) “-86.994015″ }

    var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
    map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 4);

	//]]>
    </script>

What I have done here is I have displayed the latitude and longitude on a information window of a GMarker. GMarker represents a point on the map. I may put something about GMarker later on.

This creates a simple Google Map instance and plots it over the element div with id=’map’ (#24). The instance of Google Map for your page is created on #15, with the map center defined of #16 by constructor function GLatLng, whose parameter are the Geological Latitude and Longitude of the Place. The ’13′ you see is the zoom level of the map when it loads.

Now for the option of Zoom and various map view option that the Google provides us, just copy the code below and paste them after #16. Remember these are the properties of the Google Map’s instance you created.

map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());

By adding these you can change the map views i.e Map,Satellite and Hybrid with small map navigation options on the left.
