I am hoping someone can help me on a website that I currently building I store the users postcdode, using google maps api I am wanting to find the city that postcode belongs too, is that at all possible.

I'm working on something similar. Here's a link to my project so far. This will eventually be the module that translates an address into lat/lng for a larger Code Igniter app that manages a data base of store locations. Does that help?

By using the Geocoding service provided by the Google Maps API you can pass in a postcode (or indeed any address) and it will return all elements of the location, including street, town, county and lat/long coordinates.

Read more about it here

Hope that helps.

PS. The library you are using is old and uses version 2 of the Google Maps API. Garry at In The Attic has since released a new version, or I've got a version I built too available here for use.
