I can't thank you enough for this! I was about to tell my client that they would have to look elsewhere but now I can not only provide the functionality, but ask them what list they want to use (and tell them that they dont have to spend £££'s buying the post office's list)! I will ensure that any info that I find during 'code tweaking' will be posted here. Once again, thanks for such a fantastic tutorial. What an increadibly useful article.

I am a newbie to PHP so was wondering if you could help me? I have created my Database and was wondering how i import the CSV you specified into the table? For some reason when i import it, nothing happens. One more thing, how would i make the search open a new page once the query has been processed? This looks great, exactly what i am after!

This means that you can quite easily build nearest store finder without a database of UK postcodes. If you'll allow the plug, I have written a tutorial on the whole thing over at my site: http://aciddrop.com/2007/12/17/quick-easy-and-free-nearest-store-postcodezip-finder/. Perhaps you would consider including it in your list of choices? Cheers, Leon Hi,
