advancedfuture Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Does anyone have any suggestions about how i can go about implementing a zip code radius search within my website? I've seen some packages out there but they cost a bit of coin... is there any free tools out there that will allow me to accomplish this in PHP? THanks!

discomatt Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 There's a lot of really helpful people and formulas over at the geonames forum http://forum.geonames.org/ If you aren't ready to do a bit of digging, learning and tweaking, you're better off spending the money.
