[Phpug] PHP & DB Design Questions

[AJ McKee]

Hi John,

Okay does this mean I make a service call with the addressing 
information to Google or Yahoo? And what happens if I can't find the 
address from the service. Mmm I am afraid I am ignorant here on this. 
Apart from the usuall google searches I can do myself, you don't have an 
recommended reading by anychance. It sounds quite interesting.
