Geeeeee!

Why do you steal other peoples scripts then do not include, the credit that they made it! It seems to me you just are spamming people to buy your bad database's that don't even provide the correct (lat,lon) locations for 80% of the data they contain!

Last note...

If anyone wants the url where you can create and download, a zip code database, where you can select what data you want contact me!

It is all free, unlike this trash!
