IP Address to Zip Code

Hi Everyone,

I am creating a website that uses the weather.com script to show a small weather window and it runs off a zip code. I'd like my site to be personalized to each user and have the weather based on their zip code. Is there any way to get a zip code for that user? I thought it would be through the ip address, but I haven't found anything good yet. I am trying to do this for cheap/free... any ideas???

Thanks,

Jac

There are tables out there you can get however, you can't trust IP addresses.

I know ip address's are the surest thing, but I'm helping a realtor so its not too important. Do you know where I can get any of the tables you mentioned?

You could avoid using db and go with web services

Thanks, but I'm looking for something free.
