Postocde search linked to a bespoke database

  • Hi there,

    I wonder if anyone can help or offer advice.

    I’m looking for a plugin that allows visitors to type their postcode into a search box, click submit and be directed to a page that either says yes you are eligible, or no you’re not.

    I have an excel spreadsheet with all the necessary postcodes in (it is just a limited amount of postcodes – approx. 130,000).

    Does anybody know of any quick way of doing this? Is there a plugin I can use? I’m aware there may not be a plugin as it is bespoke, but I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions…

    Thanks

    I’ve had two suggestions:

    1) Put the postcodes into two separate arrays – one for yes, another for no. Then you could use array_search() to check for the presence of the user-entered postcode in either array.

    2) Pods

    Any further suggestions or information would be great.
    Thanks

    Pods could do this, in fact I’m currently seeing how viable it would be to package up a zipcode Pod for distribution on our site, which would include example for how to use the lookups.
