Thanks Marc and Esa for your help. I've already got a perfectly functional database with perfectly functional php lookup queries. The one in particular that is giving me trouble is Postal Code. I don't want to get results from my database of addresses that match the Postal Code and plot the map. I want to:
1. Assign approximate coordinates to that postal code; and 2. Then do a radius result (querying LatLng) I don't know how to do either yet but I assume I can sort out the second part of this. The first part is giving me the trouble. I can see that I can use the Geocoder object but I get the result (the approximate LatLng of the Postal Code) as a JavaScript variable. But I think I need to play with that variable as a PHP variable. It occurs to me that it might just be faster to create a lookup table in my database of Postal Codes and Approx LatLng - that way I don't have to worry about Geocoder data and timing my requests and JavaScript Variables. Thanks again.
