This is frustrating the hell out of me!
I have retrieved a json from google places search api. I have retrieved the photo_reference and used it to get the photo like so
echo '<img src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/photo?maxwidth=400&photoreference='.$photo_reference.'&key='.$apikey.'"/>';
I get nothing visible in the browser. When i view source i have the html for the images there. If i put the href directly into the url bar it shows me the picture that in the documentation means that I have exceeded my quota. You can see here if you scroll down to "Place Photo Response" in this link to google docs
The thing is that I haven't exceeded my quota. I go to my Google API dashboard and go to quotas and it clearly says at this moment in time i have only made 19 queries. I can still query the places API no problem. I have to to get the photo reference.
So what the hell am I missing? All I can find is documentation of people who can work out how to parses the response but nothing about quotas.
