Sorry, force of habit camel case... :)  I meant 'onchange' instead of
'onclick'.

Hi gang:

Does anyone have a source for a US State and City database?

Cheers,

Hey Tedd,

Maybe this helps. I used the data files for some other projects..

http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/
http://geonames.usgs.gov/

LOL

Did you look at the name of the Executive Secretary on that page? Being dyslexic, I immediately read "You Lost", which seemed ironic for the USGS.

I know I asked in my post for US State and City database and did not mention zip codes, but that was something I was after as well.

Strangely enough, the USGS states that it's the U.S. Census Bureau who keeps the zip codes. But the U.S. Census Bureau says it's the US Postal Service and the US Postal Service points to private businesses such as:

http://www.zip-codes.com/

I was almost certain that the UP Postal Service had something, but I couldn't find it.

I'm not sure where I got my current database, but I think I'll just stick with it and allow the client to get a subscription for an update (if they want).

Hey tedd,

the US Postal Service does control the Zip Codes... The reason you couldn't get anything out of them is they do not publicly sell or give that data out to anyone except for a few private businesses who resell it... One of the best/cheapest sources I've found for mailing lists (it includes the actual delivery address plus the city, state, & zip) is melissadata.com.

Although it's not free nor exactly what you asked for they may be able to point you in a better direction to get exactly what you want.

If you need any additional help let me know. My day job is working directly with the post office and mailing lists :)

Hi,



I'm creating a wsdl server but I have one doubt about the
soapparam::soapparam().


I want to know how to return several parameters using the
soapparam::soapparam().


I'm doing this:


class MyApi implements API {

  public function Send($param) {
  $resp = array('resposta' => 'works', 'events' => array ('from' => 'smith',
'text' => 'Hello world', 'to' => 'john'));
  return new SoapParam($resp, 'events');
  }

Looking in the php.net Docs the soapparam() has this definition:

*SoapParam::SoapParam* (
mixed<http://br3.php.net/manual/en/language.pseudo-types.php#language.types.mixed>
$data , string $name )

 *data*

The data to pass or return. This parameter can be passed directly as PHP
value, but in this case it will be named as *paramN* and the SOAP service
may not understand it.
 *name*

The parameter name.

But How can I return the entire array: $resp = array('resposta' => 'works',
'events' => array ('from' => 'smith', 'text' => 'Hello world', 'to' =>
'john')); ?


Looks this wsdl schema in this email

I think you will understand more about my problem.

Thanks

--- Begin Message --- Okay so I've been fighting with this for awhile now and haven't found a better way yet....

What I want to do, is I have a small portion of my website included into a template. It is displaying hosting plans so on the main site "index.php" I want it to display a little bit of text (Same as on the main hosting page) and just 1 random hosting plan. then if they click on that plan and go into the main hosting section, I want them to see ALL the hosting plans.

Here's the code that I'm using:

if($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = "/index.php") {
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM `hosting` ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
}else{
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM `hosting` ORDER BY `hostingSort` ASC";

}

Now... I know there MUST be a better way to do it but I can't see the tree's through the forest.

Any other way I could do it?

I'm avoiding having lots of duplicate code/text on my pages.
