geocoding

Hi ya'll,
I am working on a little project, not using openmap at this point, but I
figured this was the right crowd for this question. For part of the project
I basically want someone to come to a web page, enter their address or major
cross streets, and hit submit. Then I want the server to geocode the
location and return the latitude and longitude.
I've seen some commercial products that cost thousands of dollars that will
do this sort of thing, but I figure there's got to be some inexpensive
options, even if I have to do a little data manipulation myself. Where can
ya point me?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Nate Tanner

I'm not an openmap developer, and I haven't printed myself, but Rich Shapiro
has. I think getting transformations and clipping right can be tricky. Maybe
sending us your code or trying random algorithms might help.

The image I get has (obviously) the same dimensions as the map. In my case,
those dimensions aren't the same aspect ratio, and are larger than, what
will fit on the printable area of an a4 page. This results in clipping. I've
found that rescaling the image will rescale my printed output, but not
actually change where the image is being clipped. (i.e. my output changes
size/ratio, but only the clipped output appear, even though the new size
would be large enough to accommodate the entire image. Any ideas anyone?
