geozonedb
geozonedb is a project based on three steps. The first two have been completed: a dump of a database with every country in the world, population, capital, coordinates, and every city and community in the world with the postal code; and an extraction framework in PHP to get data from the www.geonames.org project. The framework already gets data in the world language you want, and automatically creates the tables needed in the database you want. It have been tested on MySQL, but it should be, thanks to the database library used, enough to change the database from MySQL to Oracle, db2, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, etc. Simple code is being written in pure JavaScript, as well as a version in jQuery, to access every city in the world with autosuggest.

Release Notes: This release has a world data extraction framework plus a class file that you need if you plan to integrate geodata in your software or site. An example of autosuggest is in the file index.php; please read the comments at the beginning of the file. The author is building a new dump in English; you'll just need to download it and include some files to have all data in your software. It is highly recommended to create a database just for geographical data, as storing it together with your other database tables could slow down everything.
