I just modified a script I found for you. I think this is what you want:
<?
/ ********************************************************************************
*****
*
* FILENAME: zip.php
* MODIFIED AND OPTIMIZED from http://www.zend.com//tips/tips.php?ozid=249&single=1
* MODIFIED BY MICHAEL THERRIEN
* 10/07/08
* Version 1.0
* http://www.michaeltherrien.com
* This script uses the free zipcode search engine at zipinfo.com to retrieve the city and state that a zipcode is associated with.
* If the script doesn't work, make sure that 'allow_url_fopen' is set to 1 (on) in your php.ini file.
* $city and $state are the variables it outputs
*
