Zip Code reverse lookup

I have created a feedback form for visitors to an airshow and the results are shown here http://hollisterairshow.com/feedback-results.php. I would like to add a column beside the zip code showing the city. On looking around I have found several free zip code lookup sites and temporarily added a link to one of these on the feedback results page, but I think my users would find it more useful if I just show the city alongside the zip code. I'd really appreciate suggestions on how to do this.
Thanks.
Tony

Never mind. I found a downloadable list of 5 digit zip codes with city/ state so imported it (all 42,000+ entries) into a table on an existing db.

Reverse lookup by zip code

is there a way to enter the zip code (in address book) and have it automatically lookup and enter city and state into the proper filds?....... maybe even the plus four extension

This is a great example of a requirement for an Address Book plug-in. The difficulties with writing a reliable, functional one are several, however. I've toyed with the concept, but quickly became frustrated with the variables and the relatively unpredictable response to queries, even accurate, highly structured queries: the kind user are unlikely to perform.
First, you have the multiple city [both valid and invalid] response from the USPS for any given five-digit ZIP in inquiry. Which would you pick from a multiple response list? [Most queries result in a list in my experience, and not in a single matching record.] The first? Or, would you offer a user the choice to pick any of the valid cities on the list?
Second, since the ZIP plus 4 requires address matching by street number, street name and apartment, suite or other sub-unit, how would you handle the multiple page responses from USPS which are typical for 'almost complete' but not absolutely matching addresses in the database?
Frankly, it's much easier to simply query the information here for associated cities and states…
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp
…or, here, for ZIP plus 4 matches:
http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp
You can then very quickly pick from a list of possible matches and enter the data in your Address Book records. Some processes are simply far easier to achieve on a non-automated, human basis than by running a script or application. This is probably one of those.

Zip Code Lookup

Hi guys,
Ok, I've had a project dumped on me that is ridiculously
complicated given my level of ability. I've explained to them that
I am NOT the guy for this. They're in a real jam though, so while
they're trying to find someone else I told them I'd see what I can
do.
Basically, it's a political action page. You watch a short
flash video, then click a button to send email to the candidates
running to represent you. It's been built (kind of) using PHP by
someone else, but has so many bugs (and I don't know anything about
PHP) that I think my only hope is to try and re-write the whole
thing in Coldfusion (which I know the basics of).
Thankfully the mySQL database is already done and working. I
just need to build the pages. The real sticking point: on the "tell
a candidate" page, they want a user to fill out their street
address, click a button, and have the application automatically
find their full zipcode and then display a page listing the
candidates running to represent that district (this is limited to
one state, thank god).
I can handle the database-driven stuff to return email links
for their candidates (I think)... but how can I use Coldfusion to
find a person's full zipcode based on their street address?
Thanks for ANY ideas... the more dumbed-down the better!
Joe

It's no big deal, StearmanDriver. You already have a good
solution. Yahoo!
All you have to do is
get a
Yahoo App ID. You can then use it with, for example, the cfhttp
tag to get the zip code. The service is free, too.
Suppose your Yahoo App ID is
vmuNNhtDEr32Ms8pmwEyvoAdClQQabcploMMth2iY_GXMK456Mruav56P09iuQk7.BBFtC--.
(This is a fake ID I've just created to illustrate the process. But
it is similar to the one Yahoo will send you.) Suppose also that
you wished to know the zip code of the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel in
Commercial Street, Portland, Maine.
The result, cfhttp.FileContent, is a short XML document.
However, it gives you more bang for your buck
(see actual result below). It includes, besides the zip, the
latitude and longitude of the place.
To get the zip code, simply parse the XML. The complete code
is something like the one below.
actual result, cfhttp.fileContent:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<ResultSet xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="urn:yahoo:maps" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:yahoo:maps
http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/GeocodeResponse.xsd">
<Result precision="address">
<Latitude>43.657646</Latitude>
<Longitude>-70.250313</Longitude>
<Address>65 Commercial St</Address>
<City>Portland</City>
<State>ME</State>
<Zip>04101-4703</Zip>

Zip code API

Can anyone tell me of an API to handle US zip codes. In particular, I would like a 'reverse lookup', ie, given a zip code, get the city/state.

In my area it is quite possible to reverse a zip code
and get a city and yet the address is not in fact in
the city.
So that might be sufficient for example to auto-fill
city/state for a addess form but it would most
definitely not work if you were adding tax based on
city.Doesn't work in the insurance world either, when calculating premium is based on a territory code which is returned by a combo of city/county/zip. (We've gone through lots of different vendors for this particular item....)

How do I display an invalid zip code in a summary table

On my airshow website we have a feedback form, one of the questions is the zipcode where the visitor came from. This works fine. The summary results tab includes a lookup for the zipcode where I show the city associated with the zipcode and then how many responses came from that zipcode. This can be seen here http://www.hollisterairshow.com/feedback-results.php?tab=7
In testing, I found that an invalid zipcode is not displayed in the summary table, although it is counted in the total number of responses. I'd like to display the invalid zipcode and leave the City blank, or maybe put "Invalid zip code". The current code is displayed below, it's beyond my ability to figure out how I should change it to display invalid zipcodes and I'd really appreciate some direction on this.
I know I could validate the zipcode on entry but it's quite possible the zipcode table I have is out of date and i can't find a free downloadable list, so I'm thinking anything invalid could cause me to update my table.which is fine.
Thanks for any assistance.

<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">
<?php
// Make a MySQL Connection
$query = "SELECT feedback.zip, COUNT(feedback.zip), zipcodes.citystate FROM feedback, zipcodes WHERE feedback.zip = zipcodes.zipcode GROUP BY feedback.zip";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
// Print out result
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
echo $row['zip']. " ". $row['COUNT(feedback.zip)']. " ". $row['citystate'];
echo "<br />";
?>
</div>

Use an outer join on the two tables so that results are returned for all feedback rows, instead of just matching rows. The column zipcodes.citystate will be NULL. In your recordset output, you can test for null in the column and populate it with "Invalid Zipcode" if you want.
You'll need to move the join to the FROM clause as I believe that MySQL does not support outer joins in the WHERE clause like most other DBMS's.

IP reverse lookup slow

Hi!
I�m trying to create a socket by using the constructor
new Socket(host, port)
where the host can be a hostname like sun.com or a textual representation of an IP.
When creating this socket using a textual representation of an IP and the port the jvm makes a reverse lookup to get the real hostname for that IP. If the reverse lookup failes
(there is no hostname connected to this IP) the creation of the socket takes 5-10 seconds.
How can I prevent the socket from doing this lookup?
My application makes HTTP requests to an IP with no revers lookup hostname.
Bad performance because of the lookup is my big problem here....
Regards
Porcaro

There are ISPs out there who don't give reverse lookups; convincing all of them to fix their DNS is a pretty big task...
Here is one horrible hack that seems to get around the reverse lookup:
new Socket(InetAddress.getByAddress("10.10.10.12", new byte[] { 10, 10, 10, 12 }), 80);
You'd have to write or find a numeric address -> byte[] parser. Extra credit for handling IPv6 addresses. getByAddress() exists from JDK 1.4 onwards.
I hope someone comes up with a better way. Or unzip src.zip in the JDK and rummage around Socket.java, InetAddress.java and related to see if you find a way.

Zip Code Locator / Store Locator

Guys,
I want to write a simple store-locator functionality in my website (Using a Mysql db with JSP-java etc.,)
I am not sure of the tools I need and how to approach the problem (once I get a Map of all the zip codes)... Please throw in some ideas that can help me on this...
Thanks a ton!

The earth is ~ 40,000 km equatorial circumference
Mapped as rectangular projection ignoring poles is 40,000 km x 16,000 km = 640,000,000 1km x 1km cells
so 1 byte/km2 = 640 MB
or 1 word/(250m x 250m) = 4*4*4*640MB = 40GB
So a reasonable brute force method for the planet (and a few big memory servers or a not very big fast disk) would work in most cases.
Obviously, if you're only interested in one part of the globe you scale down.
The USA is something like 10,000 km square so a �60 520GB disk would give you a 1/sqrt(500E9/4/(10E6m^2)) = 28m resolution lookup at < 10ms time per request.
A second lookup of the id returned from the big bitmap using the nearest neighbour approach for a few points would take you further, if required.
How much is your time worth to develop an efficient solution, if throwing �60 of hardware at it would be good enough?
Short of buying an awful lot of memory, any solution will hit the disk at least once (though you may be able to optimise away seeking, it's a query and won't be streaming whatever you do), so the overall time isn't likely to get much better without a lot of effort.
You can always trade off between the bitmap/localised query for space and speed.

Expression - Zip Code validation

We have the field called Zip Code and this is a text field and 10 Chrs long.
Field 1: State
Field u2018Stateu2019 is a lookup field and the lookup table has Country, state code and state name.
Field 2: Zip Code
Zip Code = text field and the length is 10 chrs.
The ZIP Code Validation should be either NNNNN format (Block of 5 digits) for standard ZIP Code OR
NNNNN-NNNN format (Block of 5 and 4 digits) for ZIP+4 format
For example, if the country = US and state = IL then the first digit of the postal code field will be 6 then remaining 4 digits must be numeric for the standard 5 digit Zip code.
Can anybody help me to write the expression. Full points will be rewarded.

Hi,
Try this it should work,
For example, if the country = US and state = IL then the first digit of the postal code field will be 6 then remaining 4 digits must be numeric for the standard 5 digit Zip code.
I am assuming here State = IL indicates state code = IL which is field in your Lookup table. As you said your Lookup table having fields Country, state code and state name
IF(FIND(State.Country, "US") AND FIND(State.state code, "IL"), LEFT(Zip Code,1)=6 AND HAS_ALL_CHARS(RIGHT(Zip Code,4),0,9), FALSE)
otherwise if your State having IL value is simple text field in maintable then replace it as
IF(FIND(State.Country, "US") AND FIND(State, "IL"), LEFT(Zip Code,1)=6 AND HAS_ALL_CHARS(RIGHT(Zip Code,4),0,9), FALSE)
Hope it will Help you,
Rewards if Useful......

How to Do Value Set Reverse Lookup?

I have a concurrent program which has multiple paramaters with various value sets. When I run reports, I want to dynamically list on the output the parameters the user gave. The problem is that these values are often the IDs and not the value the user sees.
Are there any packages in applications that will let me to do a "reverse lookup" with the value sets to get the values the user saw?
Thanks,
Kurzweil4

Kurzweil4,
Is your conc prog in OA code? anyway, you can always use a VO with proper sql to get the value lookup for the IDs.

Trying to set download apps...says it needs my credit card info...I put it in....but then it won't take it because it says I need to enter my zip code. I live in Canada and have a postal code, not a zip code. Help

I am trying to set up my new Iphone 4 and download apps. I made an Apple Id which is all good. But when I try and enter in my credit card info it keeps asking for my Zip code and state. I live in Canada not US. I changed the phone to Canadian but it still keeps asking for it and won't let me put in my right information which in turn won't let me download any apps. Can anyone help?

Postal & Zip codes are same. Just enter postal code without space. It will accept.

Remove Old Name Servers from reverse lookup zones in DNS- PowerShell

Hello Scripting Guys,
I'm a long-time fan. Please let me know if I have included enough information for you to provide some guidance. Thank
you!
Here is what I am attempting to do:
import a .csv file which contains
zoneName,hostname,RecordType
and then delete the name server entries from the reverse lookup zones.
Why:
There are hundreds of zones and 80+ name servers in each for a total of about 25,000 records to be removed. I
have the list of zones and the list of name servers which I want to remove from the zones.
Environment:
I am running PowerShell as a Domain Admin with access to DNS. Zones allow secure updates only (if that matters here).
I am running it from a Server 2012 R2 server with the DNS admin tools installed against Server 2008 R2 DNS servers. Current AD functional level Windows Server 2003. All DC are DNS server and GC's.
What I have tried:
The following
works to return all the Name Server records in a zone:
.csv file format
zoneName,hostname,RecordType
1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver1.contoso.com.,Ns
1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver2.contoso.com.,Ns
1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver3.contoso.com.,Ns
2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver1.contoso.com.,Ns
2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver2.contoso.com.,Ns
2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver3.contoso.com.,Ns
Script\Command:
Import-Module DnsServer
$PDCE = Get-ADDomainController -Discover -Service PrimaryDC
import-csv c:\temp\OldNSrecords-test.csv | foreach {
Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -computerName $PDCE
-Node
OutPut to screen:
HostName RecordType Timestamp TimeToLive RecordData
@ NS 0 1:00:00 Nameserver1.contoso.com
@ NS 0 1:00:00 Nameserver2.contoso.com
However, replacing the business line (in green above after foreach) with the remove command (in red below)
does not work to delete the specific record listed in the .csv, even though it follows the
pattern from MS TechNet:
Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -name $_.hostname -computerName
$PDCE
Error:
PS C:\Windows\system32> C:\Temp\OldNSCleanup.ps1
Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord : Failed to get nameserver1.contoso.com. record in
1.112.170.in-addr.arpa zone on PDCE server.

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (PDCE:root/Microsoft/...rResourceRecord) [Remove-
DnsServerResourceRecord], CimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WIN32 9714,Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord
When I remove the use of the .csv and put the names of the zone and server in the command, I get the same results.
Fail.
It's as if the record does not exist, but I can browse to it in the GUI. I found
this about Missing Glue records, but it does not seem to apply to reverse lookup NS records. I'm thinking that I need to first load each zone into an assembly and then do the removal,
but I'm not sure how to do that in PowerShell. I tried piping the get command for the zone to the remove command, but that did not work or I did not have the correct syntax.
I have attempted to use DNSCMD to do the same and that command appears to work, but then fails to actually remove
the record.
Here is an example of that command:
import-csv C:\Temp\OldNSrecords-test.csv | foreach {dnscmd.exe "DNSServer.contoso.com" /Recorddelete $_.ZoneName
$_.hostname $_.recordType /f}
Output:
Deleted Ns record(s) at 1.112.170.in-addr.arpa
Command completed successfully. [But not really, the NS record is still there]
I have researched several sites including the suggest one here, but this does not fit my requirement.

Notice that each is a pair.

. 3600000 NS G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 192.112.36.4
In this case the dot represents the self reference to the A record. These are the records that bootstrap all of the Internet. Remove them and you ae lost.
The CSV uses the @ to anchor the local domain. Perhaps the DNS CmdLets prefer the dot. The @ is what appears on the screen when we use the GUI. Note the dot at the end of the FQDN. It is required. Even browser use
it but they add it if you forget.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi Stomie,
Based on your description, the network ID of your reverse lookup zone is 172.16.160.
To create a reverse lookup zone, please follow steps below,
Right click Reverse Lookup Zones, click New Zone, choose proper settings of
Zone Type, Active Directory one Replication Scope,
Reverse Lookup Zone Name type based on your actual situation.
In the Reverse Lookup Zone Name page, check Network ID
radio button, enter the network ID. For example, if the network ID is 172.16.160, then enter 172, 16, 160 in order. Then you will see it appears
160.16.172.in-addr.arpa in the Reverse lookup zone name edit.
Or in the Reverse Lookup Zone Name page, check
Reverse lookup zone name radio button, then enter the name of the reverse lookup zone directly. Such as, enter
160.16.172.in-addr.arpa in the edit.
Click Next twice, click Finish.
Reverse lookup zone name end up with in-addr.arpa.

Tina

Is there a way of adding a zip code locator

I'm doing a website for a business with 6 locations and would like for the customer to be able to type in their zip code to find the closest store in their area.
I've done a custom google map usng (mapsenginelite) but would like to add some how the zip code locator. Any help would be much appreciated.

Firefox will not allow me to change the zip code on the Walmart website.

When I follow a link to Walmart it automatically puts in an incorrect My Store location and zip code. I change it, close Firefox, re-open and try again. Same thing. It does not do that with other browsers. I have removed cookies several times, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but nothing seems to work.

Details like this are stored in a cookie.
Try to "Remove Cookies" Walmart cookies and check that they are still gone after closing and restarting Firefox:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Also make sure to close all tabs with the Walmart site to prevent Firefox from storing them in the sessionstore.js file as part of session data.
It is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted if clearing cookies doesn't work.
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
