RE: Coordenates latitude / longitude on PHP

Yes, but there is a projection issue involved.

The Earth is a sphere. Your screen is flat. What projection are you
using? Mercator? Lambert?

In this case, I would not spend too much time reinventing the wheel and
borrow or purchase an existing solution, and add it to the bottom line
for my client.

[snip]
I have to create some maps from a latitude / longitude points.

Do anyone know how to convert it to plane coordenates? (In order to show

it on a bitmat)

I have already found a function but does not work very well ... [/snip]

Plain coordinates? You mean as in X, Y coordinates? If so, lat and long
are already configured that way.
