postcode

[developdomains]

looking to add a postcode search to my site, does anyone know of a good script/site to link to?

basically its site to show nearest shop to users postcode

thanks in advanced to anyone who can help!

I think there are 2 types of postcode data that the post office sell, one is around £60 and is useless for scripting.

The second is around £800, I didn't manage to find an unlicensed copy when I last looked. I think I have the first useless one if you want a copy free of charge

It basically lists the first 4 digits of postcodes in the UK

AB1 1
AB1 2
AB1 3

etc, that's it for £60

Hi GreyWing

Yes if you could find me a copy of the cheaper one I would be most grateful, could even stretch to some beer moneyf or you!

Is it emailable? Or could ftp it if I gave you some details.

many thanks
Justin
