In PHP:

$address will contains the address.

$address = str_replace(' ', '+', $address);
$geocode=file_get_contents('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address='.$address.'&sensor=false');

$output= json_decode($geocode);

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

This is in php and you can get lat and long.

In Javascript:

var address = //your address
var map = new google.maps.Geocoder();
map.geocode({'address' : address }, function(results, status){
    alert( "latitude : " + results[0].geometry.location.lat() );
    alert( "longitude : " + results[0].geometry.location.lng() );
});

You can get the latitude and longitude of a city (or country) like this.

address_string = '1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500';
geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
geocoder.getLatLng(
    address_string,
    function(point) {
        if (point !== null) {
            alert(point); // or do whatever else with it
        } else {
            // error - not found, over limit, etc.
        }
    }
);

Note that I don't have a Google maps API key so I didn't have the time to test this.
