I want to validate that zip code entered by user is valid or not.
for example user entered 009876654 and it is not valid then an error
message should be given.
I know i can do it using javascript regulr expression or using
ajax-zip-code-database
But i don’t want any of the above. i need some plugin sort of thing
which send request to some online application to check wheather it is
valid or not.I want this because i don’t want to take care if in future
there is change in the zip-codes or new zip-codes get added.
P.S. :- I don’t want to use javascript or using ajax-zip-code-database

The United States Postal Service has APIs for this, but you must first
ask permission.
If you’re just planning on storing it and showing it later, without
interpreting it, you’re probably just better off cleaning it up to 5
digits (or 9, if you need Zip+4 - some people won’t know it…) and
not worrying about it.
To further add to the confusion, will your application have any
Canadian users?
