how to select zip codes in specific area/range?

I have a customer that requires that a user can add his/her zip code, then an administrator can select users in specific area range

for example:

user - zip code
1    - 24533
2    - 56924
3    - 35993
4    - 13435

admin's zip code is 39824

He needs to select people in area range of 5 kilometers by zipcode. How can this happen using php or any other solutions?

Solution

  • php/mysql zip code proximity search

    But, personally, I like the zip code range and distance calculation solution for you. If you had lat and long I would suggestion another but this seems to be similar to what you need.
