Description 

Author

This package can be used to lookup for cities and the respective zip codes.

It uses AJAX to search a file database with cities and the respective zip codes using just the first few letters of the city that the user types in a form text input.

The class can submit an AJAX request to find the cities that match the typed letters and display the city names without reloading the whole page.

It can also search for zip codes if the user types the first numbers of the zip code to search.

The listing that is displayed may be sorted by city name or zip code.

The example uses a file database with French cities but it may be replaced by another file with city and zip code information of anywhere in the world.

ADDITION : I put 2 versions :
'villes_normal/' folder is the old version
'villes/' folder is the new version, with Phonex and Soundex searches and sorting added

[PHP5] && [PHP4] This script is used to look for cities and zip codes, via xmlhttp request. It is very simple : If you input letters, the script will look for all the cities and their zip code with a name beginning by these letters, and display them. Same stuff if you input numbers : the script will look for cities whose zip code begins with these numbers. You can sort the list displayed, ordering them by the names, or the zip codes. A joker is available : * Use it to display ALL the cities (beware, it can take a loooong time...there are currently 40000 cities in the data file). Currently, the data file only contains all the French cities. You can change the data file when you call the constructor of the 'ocity' class. Data must be formatted that way : city \tab||several_spaces zip_code\endline city \tab||several_spaces zip_code\endline city \tab||several_spaces zip_code\endline ...and so on
