How would I create this query based on a method I have?
I have a site I'm working on that will find music teachers near students. The student can look for teachers by choosing a distance from their address.
I have a method calculate() that will take two latitude/longitude coordinates and calcualte the distance between the two points. It works great.
How do I create a query that will find all of the teachers with lat/long within a distance from the student?
Thank you

ive done the same thing before. You can use JS to find users coordinates
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GeolocationCoordinates/longitude
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_geolocation.asp
And then, when you calculate distance between 2 coordinates you can use computeDistanceBetween function
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/geometry
If you want to use PHP, there seems to be a lot of examples
