getting longitude latitude

[djgang]

I want to develop a website using php and postgresql (backend) to
capture the longitude and latitude values in google earth and place
them in the database.
my webpage should be divided into 2 parts. one part contains the
google earth and the other part contains the webpage with few input
fields and then store them to my database.

My question is how do i get the longitude and latitude values from the
google earth webpage to my database?


Please help,

Thanks,

How do you want to specify what lat/long to copy? Eg: by clicking in
the google earth interface, or by the center of the view or... ?

By clicking in the google earth interface

Here's an example page that shows you how to get the coordinates from
a click event on the globe:

If you do View>Source on the example page you can see how the Lat/Long
capture is done in the Javascript. I don't know how you would then
save the values to a database.
