Hi Rossko,
Thank you for your reply.
> You need to use a valid key
I'm using the key assigned to me when I signed up for the API.
> and a sensor= parameter.
I am not using the sensor parameter because the instructions at
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/phpsqlgeocode.html don't say
anything about it. After your reply, I looked up the parameter and found
instructions for using at it at
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/#SpecifyingSensor . Those
instructions say the parameter is specified while loading the Maps API
JavaScript. But my code (based on the sample code for PHP given at the
previous link) doesn't do any such loading. Could this be the problem? Is
the given PHP sample code in error by not including this loading operation?
> Your code could be enhanced to do some error checking on result codes,
My code does check the result code according to the method given in
the PHP sample code. If a 620 is returned, the delay used for all subsequent
calls is increased by 0.1 seconds. Otherwise, if the code is anything other
than 200, a warning is stored in my database and no coords are stored. The
bad result warning has never occurred.

I did read about that when signing up for the service. I have not
come anywhere near the 15,000 daily requests limit, don't think I've yet
done as many as 1,000 in a day. While the code is in development, there is
not currently any map online related to my requests. I understand this could
technically be considered misuse. If this is somehow being detected by
Google, is there a way for me to detect that and for me to do something
about it? Do I need to post some kind of dummy map on my site while the
geocoder code is in development to keep my use kosher?
Thanks for your help.
Marshall
