Hi All

Help gratefully appreciated please.

I'm developing a "classifieds" Ads website (that allows people to add and browse classifieds Adverts) that needs a “search Ads” facility, by UK postcode.

Can someone please help and tell me how you can develop a facility for users to search the site ads by typing in UK postcode that brings up the nearest areas featuring the ads (say within a selected distance of nearest 10 miles) A good example of what i'm trying to achieve is the search facility on top left of www.loot.com that allows you to search by postcode and nearest distance.

Do some sort of plug-ins exist that i can integrate or is it moe complicated then that...?

Thanks a million in advance

Sonia

Without giving it too much thought, A matrix of codes and distances would be one way. similar to the city distance finders on roadmaps.

or this Royal Mail POL maybe
