Filling Fields with Corresponding State and zipcodes

I'm getting stuck on how exactly to go about this. I assume I have to have a .csv that has every US zipcode matched to a corresponding state and then call up the .csv into the script and someone fill those fields (one including a drop down!) with the correct state and corresponding zip.  If this is true, how do I go about doing that exactly?

I think you would need to us a csv file with the corresponding stats and zips in it. Check out bluegoat's post http://botsoftware.org/forum/index.php?topic=149.msg632#msg632 on how to read in a multi column zip.

You don't need every zip and every state.  The 10 biggest states, and the 10 most popular zips in each of those states should do.  That's 100 variations, a big enough footprint to hide your accounts under.

Im stuck with the state an zip also. anyone have a working demo, I jsut cant wrap my head around it.thanks.

My duct tape solution for this (because I needed to get that script done at the time) was to pull a list of zipcodes in one state that were consecutive and just set up a random constant to choose from the zipcodes within that list. Obviously this is not ideal, but it works until I have time to go back and figure out the more complex fix.

In my experience the zips don't need to match the states. Could be wrong, but I don't think it'd be a flag if it worked.
