Ok, if someone need not only distance, but map too – than you need add to JS 1 output line —

document.getElementById(‘results3′).innerHTML = ”;

and 1 html output line –

Hi Brian. This is great. However, I need to get the driving distance for a huge number of pairs of addresses, which I have stored in an Excel sheet. Do you have any ideas about how I could link those addresses to your web query and then output the distance to my excel file? I’ve tried everything and can’t seem to find another way to do this. Note — I am not at all fluent at web coding, which is definitely slowing things down. Any advice would be much appreciated!

This is great — but I need to do the same thing in PHP. How would I convert your code to use on the server-side?
