That all depends.
Where is the address held now? Presumably you're talking about an
address held server-side, not something a user types in on a form on
the page.
So, making that assumption:

If you have just one or a handful of addresses, you could look them up
on maps.google.com, note the lat/longs, and store that server-side
with your address.

Or, you could geocode the address server side, and pass the lat/long
down to the webpage for immediate use by the javascript there. The
how-to for HTTP geocoding is in the links you were given earlier.

Or, you could pass the address down to the page and have it geocoded
from javascript. The how-to for geocoding from the javascript API is
in the links you were given earlier.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding

If you have a whole database of addresses, you can set up an efficient
system to geocode each address on an as-required basis, but store the
result to save doing it again next time.

If you don't like Google's geocoding services, there are several
others you can choose from

I couldn't say which is simplest, it depends how many you have to do
and what you are most comfortable coding with.

If you're comfortable doing it that way, do it.

Another simple way is to write javascript direct
echo "<script ... >";
echo " myString = ' <?php echo $street . $city . $state .
$country . $zip; ?> ' ; " ;
echo "</script>" ;
