How to un-convert GeomFromText()

[jimbo pruett]

I am using a standard GIS example from:
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/4.1/gis-with-mysql.html

Newbie Question: How do I get back to lat, lon text?



CREATE TABLE address (
address CHAR(80) NOT NULL,
address_loc POINT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(address),
SPATIAL KEY(address_loc)
);

CREATE TABLE cab (
cab_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
cab_driver CHAR(80) NOT NULL,
cab_loc POINT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(cab_id),
SPATIAL KEY(cab_loc)
);

INSERT INTO address VALUES('Foobar street 12', GeomFromText('POINT(2671 2500)'));


SELECT address_loc FROM `address` where address="Foobar street 59"

returns
address_loc

where I really need is the 2671 2500 text numbers.

Any help appreciated.
