Where is that city?
Some time ago I downloaded a large database of cities around the world, with their geographical locations (latitude and longitude). Now that I'm writing an article on the eZ components for php|architect I was going to demo a small import script and a SOAP service that uses this information. But I didn't have the vagest clue where I got this database from, and what its license was.
What I did remember is that I read it somewhere on planet PHP and with some backtracing I found Henri's post which lead me to the site of MaxMind . This company provides a list of a few million cities including geo-coordinates. They provide it under a very nice license as well. In a few more days I'll be publishing the client so that you can use this Web service as well.

Thanks for the info. I was just looking for such a database yesterday.
Now for the big question, will either Google or Yahoo go seriously international in their street maps?
They have .. try http://maps.google.co.uk/
Why SOAP? Use REST.
Later... I just wanted to play with the SOAP extension :)

But I think my favourite photo was of this Carrion Crow in flight.

The new birds I saw, were mostly too far away to get good photos.
But I saw my first Spoonbill, Corn Bunting, and a flock of Black-tailed Godwits.

I had a lovely walk around RSPB Bowers Marsh yesterday, where I saw some expected birds, and a bunch of new species.
When I got there, there was this welcome committee of Starlings.
