Re: [PHP] Zip Code Locator?

You could write your own. . .

Just kidding... well, technically you could... but... that's not the
point.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/zipcodedb has a "Raw ZIP code dump"... It
has a little more data than just zip, city, state... I don't know what it
means, but maybe you would...

Sorry, it's the best I could do =>

Hey, let me know if you figure out what the extra numbers are for... I might

[== snip, snip ==]

FWIW, here is the formula needed, here just a snippet getting the
distance between two ZIP's, and, yes, Virginia, you have to
have the latitude and longitude in radians:

#== construct the computed distance field (artificial field) ==
$dist   = "(ACOS(SIN($this->LAST_LAT) * ";
$dist   .= "SIN(LatRad) + ";
$dist   .= "COS($this->LAST_LAT) * ";
$dist   .= "COS(LatRad) * ";
$dist   .= "COS(LongRad -$this->LAST_LONG)) *";
$dist   .= "3958.88012572)";

For this snippet, consider LAST_LAT and LAST_LONG the
"first point" in this spherical geometry solution, nicely all
done by MySQL.  But you can do the formula in PHP, if you
wish.

  The last two numbers are latitude and longitude of the registered zip code
center for the given zip code.
