distance between two locations in php

/*:: This routine calculates the distance between two points (given the :*/

/*:: the distance between two locations using GeoDataSource(TM) Products :*/
/*:: :*/
/*:: Definitions: :*/
/*:: South latitudes are negative, east longitudes are positive :*/
/*:: :*/
/*:: Passed to function: :*/
/*:: lat1, lon1 = Latitude and Longitude of point 1 (in decimal degrees) :*/
/*:: lat2, lon2 = Latitude and Longitude of point 2 (in decimal degrees) :*/
/*:: unit = the unit you desire for results :*/
/*:: where: 'M' is statute miles (default) :*/
/*:: 'K' is kilometers :*/
/*:: 'N' is nautical miles :*/
