depends on what you want, u.s., canada & mexico are pretty easy to find but
for other non domestic countries if you find something good feel free to
share :)
for a nice freebie that works on u.s. locations, snag the geoip extension
from pecl -

IIRC, geoip is lookup based on host name or IP address for country, =
region, city, etc... similar to whois for DNS. I think the OP wants to =
look geographic information, such as city, county, state/province, =
etc..., based on a given zip code like 92723.

Tommy

If it's us zip's you want... I'd go straight to the source... http://www.usps.com/zip4/welcome.htm?from=home_header&page=f indazipcode
The post office also does have API's for hooking into it if you can
handle the restrictions since they are the government :)
