Hello All,



Can anyone recommend a good open source zip code search application and
database?

If it's us zip's you want... I'd go straight to the source...

The post office also does have API's for hooking into it if you can handle the restrictions since they are the government :)

Unfortunately, there is no phpEdit version for the Mac.

Currently, I use GoLive (without all the WYSIWYG bloatware), but it limitations are showing. I like Eclipse, but the learning curve is high and has more features than I need.


Hey tedd

I just recently started using netbeans and it looks like it may fit the bill... it's simple enough to understand but can be extended if you want to. It also runs better on my Mac then Eclipse ever did. Just something that might be worth checking out :)

Most Mac people would say the morons use Windows ;) But that's another story for another list! :)

Because

It also runs great on linux. IMHO it beats the Zend IDE, Eclipse as
well as Komodo Edit /ide.

I tend to favor setting the default with the property itself rather than in 
the constructor, even if I expect the constructor to specify it.  I really 
really hate having undefined variables. :-)  So even if, for instance, I'm 
going to pass in a db connection object in the constructor I will define it in 
the class and set it to NULL rather than not setting to anything.

OK, I'm a little OCD, but it works. :-)
