I found this Boundlessgeo website, prj2epsg.org <http://prj2epsg.org> that
converts the .prj from a shapefile to an epsg code. Can someone explain how you
determine the correct epsg code from a .prj file?
Thanks,

I've had this problem. I have no idea how you'd do it in code, when I've needed to do it
I read the .prj file, find some kind of descriptive text (for example "iowa
north"), then search for it here:
http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/?search=iowa+north&srtext=Search
I try to match up corresponding numbers (like standard_parallel,
latitude_of_origin, etc). Oh, match feet/meters too.
It's usually pretty simple to do by hand. Is that an option or do you need
code for this?
