Zip Coad Locator

[Night_Tripperz]

Many websites I have something like a store locator where you enter a zipcode and it gives nearby stores up to 20 or 30 miles from your zip code.  How would I go about  making something like this?


Thanks!

You'd need a zip code database, and then some functions to calculate the distance.

Here is the database I use:

It looks like they have added a class for working with the distances too, so that should help.
