php - Convert Lat/Longs to X/Y Co-ordinates

php - Convert Lat/Longs to X/Y Co-ordinates

I have the Lat/Long value of New York City, NY; 40.7560540,-73.9869510 and a flat image of the earth, 1000px × 446px.

I would like to be able to convert, using Javascript, the Lat/Long to an X,Y coordinate where the point would reflect the location.

So the X,Y coordinate form the Top-Left corner of the image would be; 289, 111

Things to note:

don't worry about issues of what projection to use, make your own assumption or go with what you know might work
X,Y can be form any corner of the image
Bonus points for the same solution in PHP (but I really need the JS)

The projection you use is going to change everything, but this will work assuming a Mercator projection:

<html>
<head>
<script language="Javascript">
var dot_size = 3;
var longitude_shift = 55;   // number of pixels your map's prime meridian is off-center.
var x_pos = 54;
var y_pos = 19;
var map_width = 430;
var map_height = 332;
var half_dot = Math.floor(dot_size / 2);
function draw_point(x, y) {
    dot = '<div style="position:absolute;width:' + dot_size + 'px;height:' + dot_size + 'px;top:' + y + 'px;left:' + x + 'px;background:#00ff00"></div>';
    document.body.innerHTML += dot;
}
function plot_point(lat, lng) {
    // Mercator projection

    // longitude: just scale and shift
    x = (map_width * (180 + lng) / 360) % map_width + longitude_shift;

    // latitude: using the Mercator projection
    lat = lat * Math.PI / 180;  // convert from degrees to radians
    y = Math.log(Math.tan((lat/2) + (Math.PI/4)));  // do the Mercator projection (w/ equator of 2pi units)
    y = (map_height / 2) - (map_width * y / (2 * Math.PI)) + y_pos;   // fit it to our map

    x -= x_pos;
    y -= y_pos;

    draw_point(x - half_dot, y - half_dot);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="plot_point(40.756, -73.986)">
    <!-- image found at http://www.math.ubc.ca/~israel/m103/mercator.png -->
    <img src="mercator.png" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px">
</body>
</html>
