    I'm assuming you're thinking of postal information here? Area-codes and -name/districts? If so, just get a hold of the dataset you need - usually it's available (for a fee) from the national post office in your region. If not, I'd recommend searching Google. If you can get a hold of the information, importing it into your database shouldn't be too hard.

    The below php code might help you,

    <?php
$pin = 'put here the pin code';
$get = 'http://pin-codes.in/api/pincode/'.$pin;
$result = file_get_contents($get);
for ($i=0;$i<30;$i++){
$homepage = strstr($result, '{');
$district = explode('District":"', $homepage);
$district = explode('","State', $district[1]);
$district = trim($district[0]);}
echo "District: ".$district;
?>
    PHP:
