Hi,

How would you use PHP to convert a given postal code or zip code to latitude and longitude?

Thanks in advance.

You might try http://www.boutell.com/zipcodes/ and download the data file, add it to a database, and then pull the lat/long when you query a zipcode. If you don't have a db, you could probably do the same with a flat file.
