Just wanted to update that the new link is actually http://code.google.com/p/php-google-map-api/ , and the old 2.5 version of the code can be found there as well.

I've been using this class for a while now. I'm pulling my address information from MySQL. However, I'd like to categorize my listings in the sidebar by State and County. I can sort them coming out of MySQL, but I'd like headings in the sidebar. Is this possible?

ie.
Locations

Pennyslvania
location 1
location 2

New Jersey
location 1
location 2

Hey - I just decided to do an overhaul and update the PHPGoogleMapAPI class to use the latest V3 of the Google Maps API. It's still in beta as I'm still working some of the kinks out, but just wanted to get this first revision out there and start getting the word out. Check it out! http://www.bradwedell.com/blog/category/phpgooglemapapiv3/

I figured this problem out. file_get_contents was disabled on my server so i used an alternate method (code form this tutorial) http://www.php2k.com/blog/php/advanced-php/alternative-to-file_get_contents-using-curl/ to perform a similar function. Works great. Also, I'm not rocking the pear db, you DO NOT need it unless you want to catch the data, (only a problem if you plan on serving more than 15k requests for an address per day)

@Abhilash: you're missing the DB function:

make sure you have DB.php and DB folder in the same directory

download it here:
