Finding geographical distances between two points in MySQL 5

For a project I???m working on I needed to find the distances between two points to be able to let users ask the application questions like: ???How many points of type X (coworkers, jobs, gas stations, donutshops) are within a radius of point y (my home, my office, my previous donut shop). Or what is the nearest point x from point y. I solved this problem with a stored procedure.
