I changed a little bit of the sql to match my database and it works prefectly.

Is there a way to run this as a cron job or something similar? Our database is added to frequently and it would be good to get it to update with the geographic data automatically.

Thanks

I still can not get this to work< i have another method which uses the normal google geocode but like the accuracy of localsearch.

When I call the script http://yoshinasbo.webhop.net/geocode/geocode.html

it simply shows the first postcode in the DB
if i call geocode.php passing in the parameters id-1&lat=1&lng=2 it updates the db entry with id 1

How do I actually get it to sequence through the DB?
Thanks for any help

Not too sure what’s happening here. My guess is that it’s something to do with the server or character encoding if the geocode.html file can’t be found… in which case I’m of no help as I know next to nothing about servers and character encoding.

Sorry about the double entry. Some security code thingy. My post seems to have appeared half way down the blog comments, for some reason.

I have set up an Access Database and logged it via a DSN as ‘geocode’. It has the correct fields etc.

My ‘mysqlConnect.php’ file consists of:

I have not altered your files in any way. other than to substitute
‘jquery-1.4.2.min.js’ for ‘jquery-1.3.2.js’ in the html.

However, when I doubleclick on the html file, it displays nothing, but gives an ‘error on page’ message. if I try loading ‘http://localhost/E|/VB Projects/ChurchRecords/GeoCode/geocode.html’ – which is the windows address of the file, it says it cannot find the page.

Ant thorts?

Yep – should work fine, though I don’t know ASP so can’t give any further advice I’m afraid.

I trust that if we can build out the page using ASP, this function can be applied to that tech, rather than PHP?

Really odd that as the code doesn’t use cookies. Maybe if you’re loading the html page as C:/…/geocode.html instead of http://localhost/…./geocode.html then the ajax would be cross-domain, so allowing cross-domain cookies would allow cross-domain ajax too?

Anyway, glad it worked

Problem solved … would only show first row … until I allowed ALL cookies in the browser!

Dave, you appear to have got this working. Can you please send me the contents of your geo directory i.e. the varios html, php, script files.

Thanks

Fred
