[PHP-DB] Re: Finding zipcode within radius of another zipcode.
There are databases / packages you can buy which already have this information in them. A simple search for 'purchase postcode database' on Google gave me a few leads. Adam Hi folks, I'm building a PHP/MySQL database for a customer. It's an advanced mailing list for a band. They want to be able to send e-mails targetted to people around where a gig takes place. For instance, if a concert is taking place somewhere in the 42071 zipcode, they want to e-mail everyone within 500 miles of 42071. The database will have around 10,000 members, with e-mail and mailing addresses. Does anyone have a good idea for this?

Greetings, You may also want to look at geospacial data providers like mapquest and navtech. I was involved in a proximity ad project that required similar functional.
