I want to build a search query that has several filters, including a search by zip code with a drop selected radius of miles from that zip code... similar to many jobs sites and other store location types models.

Any suggestions?

i've found some databases with zips, and some codes... but right now i'm contemplating on whether it's even worth doing... a lot involved.

anyone had a great way of doing this that's really simple?
