[SOLVED] Converting Postal Address to Business/Formal Address Format

Our addresses are stored in our database using the postal standards; however, on some occasions our users need the address in the formal format (ex: St. needs to be written out Street, full names of states, etc). I am sure we can do this with a series of defines as well as joins to our validation/lookup tables, but I was just wondering if anyone is doing something like this and has any suggestions as to the best way to do it?

Thanks in Advance!

You can use DECODE with a file. Where the file contains the pairs of values, such as 'St.' 'Street', etc. The USPS site may have official list of these.
