How can PHP be used to dynamically generate routes from a specific point to a fixed location on a website?

To dynamically generate routes from a specific point to a fixed location on a website using PHP, we can utilize Google Maps API. By making a request to the API with the starting point and destination coordinates, we can retrieve the route information and display it on the website. 

<?php
$startingPoint = "New York, NY"; // Starting point coordinates or address
$destination = "Los Angeles, CA"; // Destination coordinates or address

$apiKey = "YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY";
$url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=$startingPoint&destination=$destination&key=$apiKey";

$response = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($response);

$route = $data->routes[0]->legs[0]->steps;

foreach($route as $step) {
    echo $step->html_instructions . "<br>";
}
?>
