Just insert it in your database, feed them two Google coordinates, and you get
the distance in kilometres. If you happen to need it in miles, change the
constant `12756.200` in the `RETURN` row to `7922.6` instead.

CREATE FUNCTION `haversine` (lng1 FLOAT, lat1 FLOAT, lng2 FLOAT, lat2 FLOAT)
RETURNS float NO SQL DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
SET @a = ABS(POWER(SIN(RADIANS(lat1 - lat2)) / 2, 2) + COS(RADIANS(lat1)) * COS(RADIANS(lat2)) * POWER(SIN(RADIANS(lng1 - lng2)) / 2, 2));
RETURN 12756.200 * ATAN2(SQRT(@a), SQRT(1 - @a));
END$$
