code for a dynamic postal address entry form/database structure for both US and International addresses

Hi Jerry, 

I saw this post from a couple weeks ago didn't have a reply yet.  Did you find a solution?

In general, there's no universal standardized format for international addresses.  We've always just used the generic fields, sometimes with "State/Province" displayed for the text.  As this is pretty universal users usually know what/where to fill out.  

Let me know if you got this sorted out and/or what you're trying to accomplish.

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for catching this one.

I’m working with a small non-profit mental health directory startup that eventually wants to expand to offering their directory in a number of countries.
    
I’ve seen a number of Postal Code validation schemes for various country formats, and also some fairly sophisticated country aware drop downs (like state lists for USA, and Provence lists for Canada and many other major countries) in some of the major shopping carts, and had hoped that some enterprising PHP programmer had worked out some code, so that I wouldn’t have to re-invent the wheel as the directory expands it's reach.

Best,

Oh, I see.  So you want consistent state/city names (not text entered freeform) so that you can group and list them by those states/cities?  Is that right?

In any case, try this Google search.  There's a some resources linked/listed from the first few results.

And there's some more information here as well:

Hope that helps!

Thanks very much, Dave.

I'll try those and see where they take me.
