What resources or tutorials would you recommend for someone looking to implement geodata features on their website using PHP?

To implement geodata features on a website using PHP, you can utilize the Google Maps API for geocoding and mapping functionality. You can also use libraries like Leaflet.js for interactive mapping features. Additionally, PHP frameworks like Laravel have built-in support for handling geodata. 

// Example code using Google Maps API for geocoding
$address = "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA";
$apiKey = "YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY";
$geocode = file_get_contents("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=".urlencode($address)."&key=".$apiKey);
$geocode = json_decode($geocode);

$lat = $geocode->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
$lng = $geocode->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;

echo "Latitude: ".$lat."<br>";
echo "Longitude: ".$lng;
