You can find some Web service which holds a database of postal addresses or other geographic information you need and provides search by zip code. For example:
http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx[^],
http://developer.yahoo.com/search/local/V3/localSearch.html[^].

For some services (if I'm not much mistaken, Yahoo is one of them), you need to sing up and authenticate before use.

For using Web Services with PHP, see http://www.urdalen.no/wsdl2php/manual.php[^] which will create you a proxy be WSDL file which you need to obtain from the provider of the service. You will need to use the proxy classes directly in your PHP scrip.
