Why is my postcode location wrong
Hi,
I have created a simple input script to provide directions to a fixed location, however when I input my own postcode the directions start from the wrong place, when I input the same postcode on the google maps site it returns the correct location, obviously if we are to provide this functionality to people we need to ensure that the info supplied is correct.
If the postcode yo25 9xz is input into this form dir.php
and go pressed it shows that the start location is some 10 miles or so from the correct start location which can be seen by inputting the start location as yo25 9xz and the end location at a165/bessingby hill on the google map uk site.
I have experimented with upper case lower case no space in the postcode all return the incorrect start point, I have also tested this with other start postcodes and also get incorrect start locations for them, could you please advise where I am going wrong.
my form code is below
