I'm building a geolocation advertising platform and I've run into a snag. I can successfully calculate all of the businesses advertising within a given radius to a user using this (page 8). Now, the client wants to change the radiuses of the advertisers which you can think of as "service areas". A basic advertiser will have a service radius of 100 miles, but other companies who are larger or spend more on advertising might have a service area of 250 or 500 miles, for example. With this change, the previous calculation does not work.
How can I take all of these variable radiuses and distances in order to return all of the advertisers that would be valid for a visitor?
To better illustrate my problem, take a look at:
Currently we calculate and return all of the advertisers within a 100 mile radius of a user (companies A, B, and C). With the new change, we need to return all of the companies that have a service area that covers the user, which includes company D. Company E has a smaller service area/radius which doesn't cover the user, so that record should not be returned.
The advertiser's table currently looks similar to:
id
name
lat
lng
radius
