[move]PHP CODE[/move]

I have code
[code=php:0]
function inradius($zip,$radius)
    {
        global $db;
        $query="SELECT * FROM zipData WHERE zipcode='$zip'";
        $db->query($query);

        if($db->affected_rows()<>0) {
            $db->next_record();
            $lat=$db->f("lat");
            $lon=$db->f("lon");
            $query="SELECT zipcode FROM zipData WHERE (POW((69.1*(lon-\"$lon\")*cos($lat/57.3)),\"2\")+POW((69.1*(lat-\"$lat\")),\"2\"))<($radius*$radius) ";
            $db->query($query);
            if($db->affected_rows()<>0) {
                while($db->next_record()) {
                    $zipArray[$i]=$db->f("zipcode");
                    $i++;
                }
            }
        }else{
            return "Zip Code not found";
        }
    return $zipArray;
[/code]

where f is
[code=php:0]
  function f($Name) {
    return $this->Record[$Name];
  }
[/code]

I need for $zipArray[$i]=$db->f("zipcode"); to add another field.
So...

$zipArray[$i]=$db->f("zipcode"); <== puts 12345 into array
I have another funtion which stores distance. To call this function:
[code=php:0]
$distance = $zipLoc->distance($zipOne,$zipTwo);
[/code]

I want to add $distance in line with the zipcode, so that when I print out the array, I can sort by distance.

[printf]

Why not just do it in query?

show me a few lines of your database and I will show you how to do the radius and sort by the miles and return the miles as decimal (00.00)

example... (what I want to see)

[code]INSERT INTO `us` VALUES (1, 'NY', '1', 'New York', 'Holtsville', 00501, 'N', 40.813061, 'W', -73.046371, 'Suffolk', 'C', '631', 'Eastern', 1, -5, 17006);
INSERT INTO `us` VALUES (2, 'NY', '1', 'New York', 'Holtsville', 00544, 'N', 40.813236, 'W', -73.049240, 'Suffolk', 'C', '631', 'Eastern', 1, -5, 17006);[/code]

My database is very very simple... I can't find a free script which provides all of the above =/

zipcode longitude latitude
00210 71.0132 43.00589
00211 71.0132 43.00589
00212 71.0132 43.00589

[printf]

If you want a copy of mine, I just updated it on Nov 10, just PM me and I will give you a CSV file or if you want a SQL dump, I'll give you that. This my data set, it very accurate compared to all the very bad pay for ones, the only pretty good pay for data set comes from GreatData.Com, but even theirs has many errors (relating to proper naming) in both the US and Canadian data sets...

If you want my set I'll give you an example using it, you can do both (driving and flying) miles, if not I will give you a simple example for your data!

Cant send PM's yet =/
Perhaps you can PM me your AIM/MSN sn or email and I'll send you my email.

Thanks for your help

[printf]

Ok, just email me...

Here is few examples that you can do with my dataset, I'll give you these scripts too!

// distance from 1 zip to another

// radius by zip code or city

// find the nearest post office from a given address

I checked out those links and they are exactly what i need (especially the post office one)

I sent you an email.. waiting for response.

[rotwyla98]

=/ Patiently awaiting response.... Postponing fixing my current script to wait for yours.

[rotwyla98]

I guess she/he changed their mind.. anyone got any advice for my original code?

[printf]

I didn't forget you, I'll most likely will send you the data and scripts tomorrow. I just have not had much time to add comments throughout the code, I got most of it done, I just need to comment a zip class and the db class and I will send it to you. I wasn't planning on giving it out so I never commented it, now I have, so you will have it tomorrow...
