zipcode search

[Chapel]

Is there a way to step up a seach that will search within so many miles of a zipcode. I want to list stores and want all stores within say 5 10 25 or 50 miles from an entered zip code.

I've done this on some other applications. It can be done, but it will involve a few hours of programming by a pro.

Yes it can be done. I have seen some sites have this. I don't know if you can find a program that will do this or like David said you might need a pro.

Can you please send me a quote to do this?

If I got one of my programmers on staff to do it, I think it would be around $300. You might get less still. You also need to examine what other fields you are going to need in addition to what comes by default in phpLD and where those fields need to be used (admin, link detail, submit form, etc.).

BTW, that PHP class I posted has option to fetch all ZIP codes within XX miles of a given ZIP code. Then, you just have to assemble a SQL statement that incorporates the fetched ZIP codes to search the database. Pretty straightforward coding. Perhaps I could write this as a mod. Surfer enters ZIP code, and selects distance from pull down list (to prevent them from entering huge numbers like 1000 miles that could crash the SQL server).

That would be a SWEEET mod!

I'd be interested in this mod also... someone should do it!

I would like it as well. Maybe if there are enough interested people, we could get it done and split the costs.

Up in the supporters forum we are talking about a usa database. That part is about done. Once we have a database, we will move into the next phase of providing a search plugin.

How did this end up? I am looking for a zip code search...

[David]

We are working on a proximity search now that will locate nearby zip codes too. Searching for only one zip code is possible right now. The proximity will come later. Of course, you will still need the data to import into your phpLD.
