PERL script to PHP conversion question

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

PERL script to PHP conversion question

Post by RobertGonzalez »

I have a PERL Zip Code Locator script that I would like to convert to PHP. The PERL script uses several different data files (one of which is a flatfile "database"). I want to be able to use PHP to do Zip code proximity searches of a MySQL table instead of using PERL to search a flatfile. Anyone have any suggestions?

PS I have the PERL script available for viewing. It is fairly large so I didn't want to post it unless someone wants to see it.

Very likely.
Don't know what else to say really. How good do you consider yourself with PHP and/or Mysql? (Just to get to know what level your at in later discussions).

I dabbled with JavaScripting and PERL a little bit. I know how to tweak things with those. I am just learning PHP but picking it up quickly. I am open for any suggestions or teaching tips.
