xyph Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 This isn't a PHP question. Try google, I hear they've got most of the internet indexed.

spires Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 lol, Sorry it is a PHP question. Basically, yes I don't know where to get the info, which I'll be able to find. But also don't know who to structure the DB. What I'm after doing to just like on the dating sites. Where you can select an area, e.g London, then view profiles with a selected mile radious. e.g 10 miles. I'm assuming it is to do with the IOS. Before I had: Country - id - name Country - id - countryID - name Area - id - countryID - countyID Areacode - id - code But this is not going to allow me to do what I need. Any idea, ho I should be structuring it?

xyph Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Doing this globally is going to be VERY difficult. You're going to have to have a database filled with positional data of EVERY area code for EVERY county for EVERY country you want to support. Once you have that, it's a matter of a few SQL queries You could also avoid this by implementing the Google Maps API somehow. From what I understand Google Maps can convert an address to a latitude/longitude pair. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240825-ios-list-of-countries-but-how-do-i-find-the-counties/#findComment-1237018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
