City Finding Query
September 6th, 2009Here is a MySQL (with PHP) query to search a city in a particular state that orders things so the most populous cities show up first.
//
//
select count(zip_code) as C_Star, city, state_prefix, zip_code from zip_code where UPPER(city) LIKE ".security_quotes(strtoupper("%".$_GET['q']."%"))." and state_prefix = ".security_quotes(strtoupper($_GET['state']))." GROUP BY city ORDER BY C_Star DESC LIMIT 0,10
Searching a handy database of Zip Codes (free but may be out of date).
