其中[starlat]和[startlng]是开始测量距离的位置。

根据文森特提的公式

你要找的是哈弗辛公式。看这里。

还有其他的，但这是最常被引用的。

如果您正在寻找更健壮的东西，则可能需要考虑数据库的GIS功能。它们能够做一些很酷的事情，比如告诉你一个点(城市)是否出现在给定的多边形(区域、国家、大陆)中。

下面是我用PHP实现的完整解决方案。

该解决方案使用http://www.scribd.com/doc/2569355/Geo-Distance-Search-with-MySQL中给出的Haversine公式。

值得注意的是，哈弗辛公式在极点处有弱点。这个答案展示了如何实现vincenty大圆距离公式来解决这个问题，但是我选择只使用Haversine，因为它足够适合我的目的。

我将纬度存储为DECIMAL(10,8)，经度存储为DECIMAL(11,8)。希望这能有所帮助!

showClosest.php

<?PHP
/**

 */
include("./assets/db/db.php"); // Include database connection function
$db = new database(); // Initiate a new MySQL connection
$tableName = "db.table";
$origLat = 42.1365;
$origLon = -71.7559;
$dist = 10; // This is the maximum distance (in miles) away from $origLat, $origLon in which to search
$query = "SELECT name, latitude, longitude, 3956 * 2 * 
          ASIN(SQRT( POWER(SIN(($origLat - latitude)*pi()/180/2),2)
          +COS($origLat*pi()/180 )*COS(latitude*pi()/180)
          *POWER(SIN(($origLon-longitude)*pi()/180/2),2))) 
          as distance FROM $tableName WHERE 
          longitude between ($origLon-$dist/cos(radians($origLat))*69) 
          and ($origLon+$dist/cos(radians($origLat))*69) 
          and latitude between ($origLat-($dist/69)) 
          and ($origLat+($dist/69)) 
          having distance < $dist ORDER BY distance limit 100"; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo $row['name']." > ".$row['distance']."<BR>";
}
mysql_close($db);
?>

根据上面“使用MySQL进行地理距离搜索”文章的建议，可以通过使用MySQL存储过程来提高性能。

我有一个约17,000个位置的数据库，查询执行时间为0.054秒。

在极端情况下，这种方法会失败，但为了性能考虑，我跳过了三角函数，只是简单地计算对角线的平方。

听起来就像你想在距离上做一个最近邻居搜索。据我所知，SQL不支持这样的任何东西，您需要使用另一种数据结构，如r树或kd树。
