    Hi all,

    I want to get the zip code from an ip address of the client machine.I am using http://ipinfodb.com api to get my task done. I am getting almost every thing except zip code,Gmt offset,and timezone.
    You can check it here :http://api.ipinfodb.com/v2/ip_query.php?key=7e3d3f24491b21b01d91fbeddd6954c4bd917189e546717b5bf8e5f05ab67eeb&ip=121.245.223.73&timezone=true

    on this url I am getting every thing done

    But on implementing the same thing on my testing site :
    http://dev.bottlenotes.com/ipinfoDb.php

    Info db provide his own class .

    Please help me out in this regard or you can give me an alternative link from where I can get my task done .

    I am basically looking for a free ip to zip code look up service.

    Thanks .

    ZIP Code on mostly all IP tracking website is usually only for USA IP addresses.

    Try with IP service from IP-address.org below:
    IP Address

    Maybe you will have more luck. By testing your IP address they show timezone for IP.

    IP to Zip is not accurate. Take AOL for example, they will show up as a single IP address no matter where in the country the visitor is from. If you can get IP to city, it's about as accurate as you will possibly get and I would venture to say that it is probably only 50 - 60% correct at best.
