I grabbed a database of the zip codes and their langitudes/latitudes, etc from this This page. It has got the following fields:
ZIP, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, CITY, STATE, COUNTY, ZIP_CLASS
The data was in a text file but I inserted it into a MySQL table. My question now is, how can i utilise the fields above to calculate the distance between two zip codes that a user can enter on the website? Working code in PHP will be appreciated
You can also try hitting a web service to calc the distance. Let someone else do the heavy lifting.
