Currently there is no JS callback for geolocation, but you can use the JS timer to detect when coordinates available. Something like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Maps Test</title>
<script>
function mbOnAfterInit(map) {
var timer = window.setInterval(function() {
if (geoMarker.getPosition()) {
alert(geoMarker.getPosition());
clearInterval(timer);
}
}, 1000);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
require_once 'class.MapBuilder.php';
$map = new MapBuilder();
$map->overrideCenterByGeo(true);
$map->addGeoMarker();
$map->show();
?>
</body>
</html>

Thanks a lot. But i need to set variable in PHP for current Lat and Long coordinate to work with them that's why alert is not very helpful. Don't you have any idea how to manage that?

Sorry never mind. I got it now with $map->GetcenterLat / Lng;

Thx

The latest version of library includes corresponding JS callback:

<script>
function mbOnAfterLocationDetected(lat, lng) {
alert(lat + ' ' + lng);
}
</script>

It is impossible to get client coordinates directly in PHP simply because they are CLIENT coordinates. However, you can pass them back via AJAX call:

<script>
function mbOnAfterLocationDetected(lat, lng) {
$.post('myscript.php', {lat: lat, lng: lng}, function(response) {
});
}
</script>

I used $map->$map->getCenterLat(); after <script>...</script> and it worked for now...

The getCenterLat() and getCenterLng() methods are just return what was set by setCenter(), nothing more... So they cannot be used to detect client location coordinates.

Just be sure to use the latest version of the class that support mbOnAfterLocationDetected() callback.

<?php
// myscript.php
if (isset($_POST['lat']) && isset($_POST['lng'])) {
$lat = floatval($_POST['lat']);
$lng = floatval($_POST['lng']);
// do something...
die();
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Maps Test</title>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script>
function mbOnAfterLocationDetected(lat, lng) {
$.post("myscript.php", {lat: lat, lng: lng});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php
require_once 'class.MapBuilder.php';
$map = new MapBuilder();
$map->overrideCenterByGeo(true);
$map->addGeoMarker();
$map->show();
?>
</body>
</html>

Thanks a lot. I have updated class but somthing is wrong.
When i want make var_dump($lat); is still empty but AJAX is making request and i can find coordinates in network tab they are there but i cannot use them in document. cuz $_POST['lat'] is empty... i don't know why...

if (isset($_POST['lat']) && isset($_POST['lng'])) {
$lat = floatval($_POST['lat']);
$lng = floatval($_POST['lng']);

var_dump($lng);
die();
}
else {

echo 'empty';
}
?>
