Hi,

I actually implemented something in PHP/mySQL that is a DB of latitudes
& longitudes and zipcodes.  The formula computes distance 'as the crow
flies' using the radius of the Earth between 2 zipcodes, etc.  It's

here:

http://www.deschuteshay.com/distance/ziptest1.php

I wish I could remember where I got this data... maybe
hotscripts.com <http://hotscripts.com/;?
If needed, I can gzip a mysql dump... I'll leave the PG conversion to
you :-)  Very simple though... only 3 fields!

Tell me if you'd like... maybe I'll post a download link to a page.

Having been asked, I posted a mySQL dump of latitude, longitude and zip
codes for the US. I've also included a PHP zipcode computational piece of
code, a DB manager, and the page itself.... all in GZIP format. Instructions
are on the page.

P.S. I can't possibly help you if you're having problems! Unzip it all, put
the dump into mySQL, edit the db.inc file (username/pwd/host/db_name), run
the ziptest1.php script, and if it works GREAT! If it doesn't... you'll have
a new opportunity to learn! I would never want to take that away from you
:-) It works for me, so if it doesn't work for you, I probably can't fix it.
