    If we have latitude and longitude with us and we need to get location name out of that from google api then we need to do the following code;

    public function findlocation($lat,$long){
    $url_data = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng='.$lat.','.$long.'&sensor=true'; 
      $get = file_get_contents($url_data);
      $geoData = json_decode($get);
      $status = $geoData->status;
      if($status=="OK"){
        $location=$geoData->results[0]->formatted_address;
      }else
      {
         echo json_encode(array('status'=>'error','message'=>'Unable to get location out of given latitude and longitude')); die;
      }
      return $location;

   }

    This is how we could get the location of user from latitude and longitude

    get location from lat get location from lat long get place from google api by latitude and longitude
