are you trying to insert into MySQL DB?  Or select out of the DB?

insert:
    table structure:
        zip
        city
        etc...

    connect to db;
    loop through your array {           //while ($array = array_shift($data))
        create $sql from array parts
          ($sql = "insert into table (zip,city) values
('".$array[0]."','".$array[1]."');
        $result = mysql_exec($sql,$db);
    }

select:
    connect to db;
    $sql = "select from table where zip = '".[insert query here]."'";
    $result = mysql_exec($sql,$db);
