In the very simple piece of HTML below, I pass google an API Key generated by using "http://localhost".

This piece of code works fine when I save it as a HTML file outside of PhpED. However, within PhpED, google rejects the API Key.

I have tried this both with a project created as "simple" using PhpED's own server and with a project using my local Apache server. Both fail. I have tried generating API key with localhost and also my IP address and all combinations fail.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Phil

I think you are missing something - I have successfully done what you are attempting and it works fine. I have a file I call apiconfig.php:

Code:

<?
// Signup for your key at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'localhost') {
$api_key = 'ABQIAAAAnfs7bKE82qgb3Zc2YyS-oBT2yXp_ZAY8_ufC3CFXhHIE1NvwkxSySz_REpPq-4WZA27OwgbtyR3VcA' ;
} else {
$api_key = "ABQIAAAAyBxk9_kiqF9LrUeXMTBOWxTl_fGSc7veOJYLG2-ihrCS70R2AxTmKbAf-Rov_8THAH1hTZHTdO3XIg";
}
?>

Then I add a line of code at the top of the opening .php/phtml/html file and a line of code which assigns the correct key according to $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], thus:

Code:

<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '\apikey.php';
?>

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=<?php $api_key ?>" type="text/javascript"></script>
