Re: Detecting an Address inside of a string
I can't always geocode the results though because sometimes the users just search for something like "free" or "outdoor". I know it would be impossible to catch ALL of the addresses but I would just like to do the most common ones that I've seen people search for on my website. Perhaps I could have a series of regex's that it goes, though and if a match is found, the geocode is performed, and if not then a full text search or something occurs. I am a novice when it comes to regular expressions so I was hoping someone could give me some examples or their thoughts on the subject.

Re: Detecting an Address inside of a string
which so many possible "human" formats, this is close to unachievable you could just geocode it anyway which google api etc and maybe they have some smart algorithms the zip, city and adress string itself is not the main problem this can be achieved with only few mistakes by using regex etc. but something like close to, within must be really difficult On 15 Sep., 21:08, Kyle Decot wrote: > When my users enter something like "something near 123 Main St", I'd > like to be able to detect that and Geocode my results.

Detecting an Address inside of a string
When my users enter something like "something near 123 Main St", I'd like to be able to detect that and Geocode my results. How would I detect this? Some other examples I'd like to work w/ are: "something within 40 miles of 43112" Thanks for any help you can provide --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
