<?php function zipstate($zip) /* *gets the state containing the zip code using the iProv zip api *set the server, username and password at the top of the function body on installation *RETURN VALUE: * array containing a boolean for success or failure, and either the error string * or the state. e. g. {TRUE, "AR"} or {FALSE,"Server returned unspecified error"} */ { $server="https://www.iprovinternal.com/zipstate.php"; $username="tom"; $password="password"; $testing="TRUE"; //set to FALSE when you go live //*****************************DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELLOW THIS LINE******************* //build the request string $request="?uname=" . urlencode($username); $request=$request . "&password=" . urlencode($password); $request=$request . "&zip=" . urlencode($zip); $request=$request . "&test=" . urlencode($testing); $request= $server . $request; $fin=fopen($request,"r"); if($fin===FALSE) return array(FALSE,"Request Failed"); $clen=-1; $pos=0; foreach($http_response_header as $x){ if(!(strpos($x,"Content-Length")===FALSE)){ //parse out length $x=strrchr($x," "); $x=substr($x,1); sscanf($x,"%d",$clen); } } $s=""; do{ $s .= fread($fin,4096); $pos=strlen($s); }while(!feof($fin)&&($clen==-1||$pos<$clen)); $x=strstr($s,"ERROR"); if(!($x===FALSE)){ $x=strstr($s,"\n"); if($x===FALSE){ return array(FALSE,"Server returned unknown error"); }else{ $x=substr($x,strlen("\n")); return array(FALSE,"Server returned \"" . $x . "\""); } } $x=strstr($s,"state: "); $x=substr($x,strlen("state: ")); $x=substr($x,0,strpos($x,"\n")); if($x===FALSE){ return array(FALSE,"No state returned"); } return array(TRUE,$x); //*****************************ENDING ==DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING BELLOW THIS LINE==******************* } ?>

Make the Call With This Code:
<?php include("include.php"); ?> <html> <head> <title>Zip Code Locator</title> </head> <body> <?php // ******************MAKE THE FUNCTION CALL****************** $ret=zipstate(90210); print "1: " . $ret[0] . "<br>"; //Prints True of False print "2: " . $ret[1]; //The Result of the Call // ******************MAKE THE FUNCTION CALL****************** ?> </body> </html>
