Any mailing address parser on Yii?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

User may input the following string for location for a search, like (www.yelp.com) e.g.:

453 adams St, Dorchester, MA 02122

or

Wellesley, MA

or

02457

or

MA

Is there an extension to parse the string into “city”, “state”, and “zip” ? I checked out the Yii extension and couldn’t find any related things. But I think it’s a common task, somebody must have done it before.

Thank you!

Full text search on those three fields?

3

I never saw a extension for this.

Try phpclasses, google and then create a component for this based on your finds and add to the repository =)

I don’t know what is Full text search. But just search against database related field, e.g.: business.state = ‘MA’, and business.zip = ‘02493’, etc.

5

Gosh… It’s challenging for me, but I will definitely share it with you guys if I come across some result.

You’d need to parse the input using regex, Parse city, state and zip, compare the result using CDbCriteria::compare() perhaps with $partialMatch set to ‘true’.

Thanks a lot, Putera! Do you know what kind language is the above code? I am not familiar with this, let along the logic…

It is JSON

Have you found/done something about it?
I think the best is Google API: Documentation sur Google Maps Platform  |  Maps JavaScript API  |  Google for Developers
