    Hello,
    I want users to be able to input their name and zip code and then have the system find their location based off that, and register that user's name to that location.

    How would I go about this?

    Thanks

    I don't understand what you mean by "register that user's name to that location". I think you have to have a better understanding or at least description of what you want to do to get it done.

    So far I would suggest using the following.

    html forms
    php to process the forms and look up locations in the mysql tables and users data in the tables.
    mysql to store the different locations and then store the regitration information on the users when you find out they are in a location.

    Also a bunch more, but not sure what direction your going with this, but start small and do all the html forms for the data.
