PHP - Postcode Advertising Help

Hi, I have this code but i cant get it to work.
I have broken it down to sections and I think the get file contents may be at fault as when i dump the array it come back bool false.
The URL creates a page with CSV values of longitude and latitude from a postcode. I want to give the variables $custlat1 and $custlong1 the values from the geocoded co-ordinates.

The CSV values returned from the URL input are 200,5,54.1202442,-3.2078272

Code: [Select]
$pc1 = 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=la139hu,+UK&output=csv&sensor=false&key=ABQIAAAAcclaxnepdvvxx5D2PAnHtRSLcuoGw6G6HnB4VN4WqoMz7tmtKhTHGV82iKKTXvAg7YFpCFA6ptRc9g';
$data1 = @file_get_contents($pc1);
$result1 = explode(",", $data1);
$custlat1 = $result1[2];
$custlong1 = $result1[3];
can anyone help? or point me in the right direction

Hi, can anyone help me?   I am trying to create a form which asks the user to input their postcode then submit. the purpose is so if the service my site offers is not available in the location that the end user lives, then I want to display a message saying 'Sorry, not available', but if they are in area then it redirects to another page.   My form code is:

<form method="post" action="forwarder.php">
    <p> Enter Post Code He <input type = "text" name = "zip" id = "zip" size = "10" maxlength = "5" ">
	<input type='submit'>
    </form>

My PHP is:

<?php
$zip = isset ($_POST['zip'])  { 
  if ($zip=='NG15') { 
    header('Location: https://www.bing.com');
} else { 
  	header('Location: http://www.google.co.uk')
}



?>

I am a bit of a newbie at this, and I know my PHP won't give me my desired result, but I was using this to try and test the concept. Help would be really appreciated, and if you can show me how to do it for multiple postcodes even better

Hi Guys

I have managed to fing JS ways and php functions using crow route but I really really need a  traffic distance in PHP


Please advice, Help

Thank you

Hi

I have a function that takes a postcode and splits it so i can enter into DB into two formats, full postcode and prefix.

The function is:

function check_form_postcode($postcode)
{
    $postcode = strtoupper(str_replace(chr(32),'',$postcode));
    $suffix = substr($postcode,-3,3);
    $prefix = substr($postcode,0,(strlen($postcode)-3));
    if (preg_match('/(^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2}|^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{1}[A-Z]{1})$/',$prefix)
    && preg_match('/^[0-9]{1}[ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2}$/',$suffix)) {
        $postcode_syntax_check = 1;
    } else {
        $postcode_syntax_check = 0;
    }

 if($postcode_syntax_check){
 $return = $prefix."::".$suffix;
 }

return($return);
}

I POST the form data and in the top of the same page I get all of the form data and here is is where things go wrong:

if ($b == 'go') {

    //Gets form data
    $main_event_name = my_import('main_event_name', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_type = my_import('main_event_type', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_date = my_import('main_event_date', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_city = my_import('main_event_city', 'P', 'TXT');
    $postcode = my_import('postcode', 'P', 'TXT');
    $main_event_added = my_import('main_event_added', 'P', 'INT');
    $main_event_active = my_import('main_event_active', 'P', 'INT');

    $postcode_array = check_form_postcode($postcode);
    $postcode = explode($postcode_array, "::");
    $prefix = $postcode[0];
    $fullpostcode = $postcode[0]." ".$postcode[1];

        $valkey = md5(microtime());

        $info = array(

               "main_event_name"=> $main_event_name,
               "main_event_type" => $main_event_type,
               "main_event_date" => $main_event_date,
               "main_event_city" => $main_event_city,
               "main_event_active" => $main_event_active,
               "main_event_added" => $sys['now'],
               "main_event_pcode" => $fullpostcode,
               "main_event_pcode_prefix" => $prefix,
               "eo_id" => $eo['id']
            );
        $table  = $db['main_event'];

        $userid = my_insert($info, $table);

When I enter into the DB all I get is the "::" no data. I know that the POST works as I can enter the data easily without the function going wrong.

Thanks for any help, i am new to arrays go easy if I have made an obvious mistake!

Cheers...

Hi All, Long long long time lurker here! 

 

A little background to understand how this fits in

So I am building a local directory for my local area as part of a community project. Part of this there is the ability for local stores to sell online locally for people to have delivered or collect. So in the UK we have postcodes in the formats:

AB12 3CD,

A1 2BC

A12 3CD,

A1B 2CD

 

Most delivery pricing solutions only care about the full postcode as they are all about national delivery or at best only care about the first half. Due to the local nature we need more granularity to it so we have some rules: 

Delivery Available

EH => Price

EH3 => Price

EH3 1 => Price

EH3 1-4 => Price

 

Exceptions - No Delivery allowed

EH => null

EH3 => null

EH3 1 => null

EH3 1-4 => null

 

Can mix and match for example:

 

EH3 = £2.00

EH3 2 => £2.25

EH3 5 => null

 

This means that ALL EH3 address the delivery cost is £2 BUT If they are in EH3 2 then its £2.25 or if the are in EH3 5 then no delivery is possible.

 

I have came up with this monstrosity of code that for the most part works but also can throw the wrong delivery prices out due to bugs and issues that I can't seem to work out!  

 

Main Function:

function isDeliverable($postcode, $rules){
		
		$canDeliver = false;
		$deliveryValue = 0.00;
		$found = false;
			
		list($outward, $inward) = explode(' ', $postcode);
		$area = substr($outward, 0, 2);
		$district = substr($outward, 2);
		$sector = substr($inward, 0, 1);
		$unit = substr($inward, 1,1);
		
		$rulez = json_decode($rules, true);
		
		
		//RULE START - EH10 9RJ
		$pcFound = inRule($rulez, $postcode);
		
		if($pcFound){
			return ['canDeliver' => $pcFound['deliverable'], 'deliveryValue' => $pcFound['price']];
		}
		//RULE END - EH10 9RJ
		
		
		
		
		
		
		//RULE START - EH10 9R
		$pcFound = inRule($rulez, $area.$district.' '.$sector.$unit);
		
		if($pcFound && !strpos($pcFound['postcode'], "-")){
			return ['canDeliver' => $pcFound['deliverable'], 'deliveryValue' => $pcFound['price']];
		}
		//RULE END - EH10 9R
		
		
		
		
		
		
		//RULE START - EH10 9A-F
		$pcFound = inRule($rulez, $area.$district.' '.$sector.$unit, 1);
				
		if($pcFound){
			
			$postArray = postcodeExploder($pcFound, 1);
			
			$pcFound = inRule($postArray, $area.$district.' '.$sector.$unit);
		
			if($pcFound){
				return ['canDeliver' => $pcFound['deliverable'], 'deliveryValue' => $pcFound['price']];
			}			
		}
		//RULE END - EH10 9A-F
		
		
		
		
		
		
		//RULE START - EH10 9
		$pcFound = inRule($rulez, $area.$district.' '.$sector);
				
		if($pcFound && !strpos($pcFound['postcode'], "-")){
			return ['canDeliver' => $pcFound['deliverable'], 'deliveryValue' => $pcFound['price']];			
		}
		//RULE END - EH10 9
		
		
		
		
		
		//RULE START - EH10 1-4
		$pcFound = inRule($rulez, $area.$district.' '.$sector, 2);

		if($pcFound){
			$postArray = postcodeExploder($pcFound, 2);

			$pcFound = inRule($postArray, $area.$district.' '.$sector);
			
			if($pcFound){
				return ['canDeliver' => $pcFound['deliverable'], 'deliveryValue' => $pcFound['price']];
			}			
		}
		//RULE END - EH10 1-4
		
		
		
		
		
		//RULE START - EH10
		$pcFound = inRule($rulez, $area.$district);

		if($pcFound && !strpos($pcFound['postcode'], "-")){
			return ['canDeliver' => $pcFound['deliverable'], 'deliveryValue' => $pcFound['price']];			
		}
		//RULE END - EH20
		
		
		
		
		
		//RULE START - EH1-20
		$pcFound = inRule($rulez, $area.$district, 3);
		
		if($pcFound){

			$postArray = postcodeExploder($pcFound, 3);

			$pcFound = inRule($postArray, $area.$district);
		
			if($pcFound){
				return ['canDeliver' => $pcFound['deliverable'], 'deliveryValue' => $pcFound['price']];
			}			
		}
		//RULE END - EH1-20
		
		
		
		
		
		//RULE START - EH
		$pcFound = inRule($rulez, $area);
		
		if($pcFound && !strpos($pcFound['postcode'], "-")){
			return ['canDeliver' => $pcFound['deliverable'], 'deliveryValue' => $pcFound['price']];			
		}
		//RULE END - EH
		
	
		return ['canDeliver' => $canDeliver, 'deliveryValue' => $deliveryValue]; 
	}

Stores Rules:
