Styles2304 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I recently purchased the LG VX10000 (Voyager) and I've started work on my homepage that has some features like access to g-mail, movie times, weather etc. I'm basically wondering if there is anyway to determine the zip code of the area my cell phone is in. Here's the site: http://www.newcovenant-th.org/zerogravity/phones/index.php. I'm mainly looking into this so that I can get the weather regardless of where I'm located. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/110290-php-phone-applications/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I don't think so, but you could always make a field that tells you to enter your city or ZIP code or something.

Styles2304 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yeah . . . but the idea was something automatic. Is there any sort of location specific identifier similar to the way timezone works that could tell this program where you are?

cooldude832 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 your phone has a built in web browser I'll assume so lets assume it sends variables like IP/HostName, etc. try seeing if there is a give away in the info it sends back and forth, I would assume something is taging either your IP to a cell tower or your location via a tower name you can use.

Styles2304 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Can you explain a little more as to how I would retrieve this info in a normal browser?
