yahoo PlaceFinder Help

[thisishard]

Hi, does anyone have any experience using yahoo’s placefinder?

I’ve been trying to use it all day and am still stuck, there is little to no tutorial documentation on the web for it, even on yahoo’s site they don;t really tell you how to use it.

Anyway, i’m trying to do a search but i want to limit the results to the united kingdom so i don’t end up with results in say usa.
Also the return keeps only giving me one result when there are potentially more than one and i cant get it to give more.
This is my search query at the moment.

Code:

$url=’http://where.yahooapis.com/geocode?location=’.$location.’&gflags=AC&flags=QRGSTXP&appid=’.$appid;

A location for example would be Devon, which i would like to have a result as Devon the County in england but instead i get devon in Pennsylvania.
Also if i search for St Ives, i get one result, when i know that there are more.

Many Thanks
Chris
