A application that using entering a postcode and distance will find all schools up to the distance from that postcode.
This application uses Open Data to build a full list of schools in England together with the school's eographic coordinates.
When a postcode is entered, it's coordinates are returned from an Open Data API call. The coordinates are then used to find and display all schools that are within a radius distance (default distance is 2 miles).
- PHP7
- composer
- make or gmake - useful but not essential.
make setup runs composer, installing dependencies, and generates the schools and postcode data files used by the application.
If no make tool available run composer install followed by php setupData.php.
Once installed and a web server virtual host enviroment is directed to the folder, a browser directed to the virtual host will run the application.
Output results in distance order.
