Re: [PHP] zip codes and lat/longs

Re: [PHP] zip codes and lat/longs

After reading this I decided to figure out what the issue was. It was the MySQL result set. Somehow the columns changed and messed up the float values. So I just whipped this up quick to reload the data (and possibly update it too) Here's the quick-and-dirty: 1) download ZCTA (the text version)

Re: [PHP] zip codes and lat/longs

Here's code I had, but it recently stopped working It takes the zip code for the user and the user you're viewing, looks them up from the data table (z_data_zips) and does the calculation. The formula is in a handful of places - I converted mine from a MySQL example (I think, or vice versa) You c
