PHP Zip Code Locator / Zip Code database
Thu, 10/23/2008 - 14:52 — rpringle
I was talking with some people at the PHP meetup and mentioned using a 3rd party zip code locator and zip code database. for a freelance project some time ago.
I located the link finally, and thought I would share it here for anyone interested. Note that it isn't open source, but I can attest to the fact that the code works well and comes with plenty of examples which can be modified for your particular needs.
I had the database installed and the code up and running on a live site within half an hour. It was fairly trivial to hook it into my existing database of addresses and integrate into the site.
Without further ado... Code 322
I'm not affiliated with the site or author, just a satisfied customer.

Location stuff! Great tools!
Thanks Ron, and Eric, yes by all means share! Maybe we could do a session on this stuff sometime. I could even dig out my old GIS stuff to show off.

Ron,
Very cool. Thank you.
I actually built a theater search function that locates theaters within so many miles of a zipcode. I have the code somewhere if anyone is interested...has all the census data as well.
