Hello, I am searching for a database that I can write a PHP
application against. I am not looking for bulky packages, or anything
fancy or maps, ... just some raw SQL data I can mix & match from
tables, ... stuff like Zip codes, Latitude and Longitude, and any
other basic address & coordinate info. I can cross reference and tie
into..... anything that can me. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for . Best wishes, Sara

Do you mean a ready populated data-base?

If not then MySQL seems to be something of a standard, I have managed to
install and use it. I am also having some success writing to an Access
data-base.

I am sure that will the OP enormously :-)

P.S. - How about putting some scissors on your Christmas list and learning
how to use them?

The USPS site would be the first place I'd check too. ZIP codes do change over
time, sometimes new ones are created, so you may need to update your
information, at least on an annual basis.

Someone had suggested free services were available, but if you purchase the
information from USPS, you have a reliable place to get the updates from also.
Sometimes the free sites disappear and may become unreliable.
