The biggest issue is that you'll have to get (aka purchase) the PostNet barcode font, and install in on the appropriate computers. sounds like the web server, possibly the end-users workstations. And, of course, your development computer.

The second thing is that the data will have to be in the proper format. If memory serves me, it is Zip5+4+2 with periods surrounding this data.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
