I started an XML service that returns geographic data when you provide a valid address in the URL. The type of data that is returned is:
city
county
state
zipcode
areacode(s)
latitude
longitude
elevation
timezone
Here’s a sample:

If you would like to learn how to use this in your PHP scripts, you can find additional information here:
