To check if a point belongs to a polygon, you can use this algorithm:
class pointLocation {
var $pointOnVertex = true; // Check if the point sits exactly on one of the vertices?
function pointLocation() {
}
function pointInPolygon($point, $polygon, $pointOnVertex = true) {
$this->pointOnVertex = $pointOnVertex;
// Transform string coordinates into arrays with x and y values
$point = $this->pointStringToCoordinates($point);
$vertices = array();
foreach ($polygon as $vertex) {
$vertices[] = $this->pointStringToCoordinates($vertex);
}
// Check if the point sits exactly on a vertex
if ($this->pointOnVertex == true and $this->pointOnVertex($point, $vertices) == true) {
return "no vértice";
}
// Check if the point is inside the polygon or on the boundary
$intersections = 0;
$vertices_count = count($vertices);
for ($i=1; $i < $vertices_count; $i++) {
$vertex1 = $vertices[$i-1];
$vertex2 = $vertices[$i];
if ($vertex1['y'] == $vertex2['y'] and $vertex1['y'] == $point['y'] and $point['x'] > min($vertex1['x'], $vertex2['x']) and $point['x'] < max($vertex1['x'], $vertex2['x'])) { // Check if point is on an horizontal polygon boundary
return "na borda";
}
if ($point['y'] > min($vertex1['y'], $vertex2['y']) and $point['y'] <= max($vertex1['y'], $vertex2['y']) and $point['x'] <= max($vertex1['x'], $vertex2['x']) and $vertex1['y'] != $vertex2['y']) {
$xinters = ($point['y'] - $vertex1['y']) * ($vertex2['x'] - $vertex1['x']) / ($vertex2['y'] - $vertex1['y']) + $vertex1['x'];
if ($xinters == $point['x']) { // Check if point is on the polygon boundary (other than horizontal)
return "na borda";
}
if ($vertex1['x'] == $vertex2['x'] || $point['x'] <= $xinters) {
$intersections++;
}
}
}
// If the number of edges we passed through is odd, then it's in the polygon.
if ($intersections % 2 != 0) {
return "dentro";
} else {
return "fora";
}
}
function pointOnVertex($point, $vertices) {
foreach($vertices as $vertex) {
if ($point == $vertex) {
return true;
}
}
}
function pointStringToCoordinates($pointString) {
$coordinates = explode(",", $pointString);
return array("x" => $coordinates[0], "y" => $coordinates[1]);
}
}

To use it, do something like:
// Obtenha o polígono do banco de dados e salve num array nesse formato, sabendo
// que o último ponto deve ser igual ao primeiro pra fechar o polígono
$poligono = array(
"-22.91602,-41.97678",
"-22.94322,-42.11171",
"-23.02634,-41.99945",
"-22.91602,-41.97678",
);
// Coloque as coordenadas obtidas pelo $_GET assim
$coordenada = "-22.91602,-41.97678";
$pointLocation = new pointLocation();
echo "o ponto ($coordenada): está ".
$pointLocation->pointInPolygon($coordenada, $poligono).
" do polígono";
// Saída: o ponto (-22.91602,-41.97678) está no vertice do polígono
