I've been trying to find out how to do this kind of stuff with PHP and haven't had much luck so I thought I'd ask here.
My scenario is this. I have a lat/lng point and need to be able to calculate sectors around it (for example from 0 to 180 degrees and another from 180 to 360) - then I have another lat/lng point and I need to be able to determine whether or not that point falls inside of which sector, and if so which one.
Right now I have this working using the google maps api, using the polygon plugin to draw the sectors and the geometry plugin to find out if a given latitude/longitude falls inside of a polygon.
I'm trying to find out if theres an equivalent way to do that sort of thing in PHP specifically. If knowing the development environment is helpful its a LAMP stack.
