Hi everyone.

Very new to PHP and don;t know a great deal. I would like to add a function on one of my web pages where someone can enter there postcode and it would return either yes we can deliver / collect or sorry this is out of our delivery / collection area.

Can anyone help me out to put this together. Where would I begin ? etc, does anyone have any code examples ?

Cheer for now
Steve

It depends which country you are in you could use maxminds geoip database if you are in the USA but if you are talking about a small area just set up an sql database table with postal areas you can deliver to and when the form submits check to see if that postal code is in your area if not display the error message.

search for mysql query in php and you can find a lot of examples.
