<?php
// convert decimal degrees to degrees/minutes/seconds \\
// 		some definitions:
// 		DD=decimal degrees
// 		DMS=degrees/minutes/seconds
//
// How this works:
// Say you have 32.872352 lat and -91.632563 long
// The whole units of the decimal will remain the same, so
// 1) multiply the decimal by 60 (0.872352 * 60 = 52.34112), the whole number becomes the minutes (52) 
// 2) take the remaining decimal (0.34112) and multiply by 60, this is now the seconds, round this to two decimal places (0.34221 * 60 = 20.53)
// 3) string them all together 32 52 20.53
//
	// ** LATITUDE ** \\
		// DEGREES \\
			// get integer value of latitude from db -> where $lat_dd is a floating point number like 32.872352
			$lat_dd_int = intval("$lat_dd");
		//  MINUTES \\
			//  get DD minutes (whats after the decimal point)-> Lat DD floating point - lat DD integer
			$lat_dd_m = $lat_dd - $lat_dd_int;
			// get DMS minutes as floating point -> 60 * DD minutes floating
			$lat_dms_m_float = 60 * $lat_dd_m; 
			// get int value of lat DMS floating point
			$lat_dms_m_int = intval("$lat_dms_m_float");
		// SECONDS \\
			// get DD seconds -> DMS minutes floating - DMS minutes integer
			$lat_dd_s = $lat_dms_m_float - $lat_dms_m_int;
			// convert DD secs to DMS secs -> 60 * DD seconds
			$lat_dms_s = 60 * $lat_dd_s;
	// ** LONGITUDE ** \\
		// DEGREES \\
			// get integer value of longitude from db -> where $long_dd is a floating point number like -91.632563
			// this number remains negative
			$long_dd_int = intval("$long_dd");
		//  MINUTES \\
			//  get DD minutes (whats after the decimal point)-> Long DD floating point - long DD integer
			//  use abs to get rid of the negative sign
			$long_dd_m = abs($long_dd - $long_dd_int);
			// get DMS minutes as floating point -> 60 * DD minutes floating
			$long_dms_m_float = 60 * $long_dd_m; 
			// get int value of long DMS floating
			$long_dms_m_int = intval("$long_dms_m_float");
		// SECONDS \\
			// get DD seconds -> DMS minutes floating - DMS minutes integer
			$long_dd_s = $long_dms_m_float - $long_dms_m_int;
			// convert DD secs to DMS secs -> 60 * DD seconds
			$long_dms_s = 60 * $long_dd_s;
// end conversion of lat/long \\
// next just echo the output with the degree/minute/second symbols in place
