Nice piece of job!

But how do I convert into celsius, 24h and meter per second?

Thanks!

I'm having a few problems getting this installed. Question, I haven't set the cron or CHMOD is this why I'm getting a parsing error? We currently have a virtual hosting solution and I don't have root level access to the server to modify cron and CHMOD. Is there a work-around? Thanks!

I think this is a great script! Thanks for making it available.

What about an option to show when the Weather XML feed was last updated, rather than when the script was last run on the server?

This script is awesome!! Thanks for sharing. One thing -- I'm interested whether it could use weather info from sites that don't have all the restrictions that weather.com does -- info from http://weather.noaa.gov is in public domain. (For my non-profit organization, I'd have to follow all the rules).

Fine script! Thanks. For those of you who want the weather for non-US locations (e.g. Havana, Cuba), use this URL to find the locID to be used as $zipcode: http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=havana

Beautiful script. Thanks for sharing. Exactly what I needed for one of my sites. Had a bit of trouble with the Cron Job but once that was sorted out I was golden. Again Thanks.

nice, very nice. i have spent 4 days doing what you have done. except mine was growing and growing. i saw yours pulled the guts out of it, and it does what i wanted to do all along. the secrte to yours is the foreach ($vals as $key => $i) { bit. very neat.

mucho kudos to you.

A NOTE TO GUEST ABOVE. i dont think a 5 day forecast will fit in the tiny table easily. but if you download the sdk from weather.com they provide a php script that will return a 5 day forecast.

best wishes bob.

Thanx for the script .. I like your Website, the most original and crazy I never see ;-))

Yes, the script as is is broken.

The server changed, and a variety of other things did too.

1. Like 42 where it says $file put:

   $file = "<a rel="nofollow" href="http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/">http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/</a>" . $zipcode . "?cc=*&dayf=1&link=xoap&prod=xoap&par=" . $partner . "&key=" . $license;
   

2. In the foreach of $vals put:

   foreach ($vals as $key => $i) 
   {
       if ($vals[$key]['value'] != false) 
      {
           if($vals[$key]['tag'] == "TMP")
          {
               // This is the temperature
              $temp = $vals[$key]['value'];
           }
   
           if($vals[$key]['tag'] == "T")
           {
               // This is the wind direction
               $wind = $vals[$key]['value'];
           }
   
           if($vals[$key]['tag'] == "ICON")
           {
               // This is the number of icon to display
               $theIcon = $vals[$key]['value'];
           }
   
           if($vals[$key]['tag'] == "S")
           {
               // This is the wind speed
               $theSpeed = $vals[$key]['value'];
           }
   
           if($vals[$key]['tag'] == "SUNR")
           {
               // This is the sunrise
               $sunr = $vals[$key]['value'];
           }
           if($vals[$key]['tag'] == "SUNS")
           {
               // This is the sunset
               $suns = $vals[$key]['value'];
           }
       } 
   }
   

   If you want to see what the output is of variables you need to do:

   echo "";
   print_r($vals);
   echo "";
   

3. Conversions and such can be ran from the variables, my application didn't require it and I can't spend any time right now making it right. You can figure out what is what from that.

4. With the change of #2 here are the variables.

   $temp = Temperature
   $wind = Wind Direction
   $theIcon = # of file to display for the icon
   $theSpeed = Wind Speed.  
   $sunr = Sunrise time
   $suns = Sunset time
   

5. I also have the code for conditions, it's:

   if(($vals[$key]['tag'] == "T") && ($vals[$key]['level'] == 3))
           {
               // Get the current conditions
               $condition = $vals[$key]['value'];
           }
   

You can tweak the output all you want to include those variables, there are LOTS in there. So take your time and look through all the ones that are available.

I'm working on changing this around a bit to an object-oriented version that will allow for checking multiple zip codes...I had a requirement from a client and loved your script so I decide to go with it and modify it a bit...

Thanks for sharing this, just one note, not every hosting company allows fopen() (like dreamhost), in that case you can change the retrieval of the feed by using cURL

$file = "the weather feed url";

$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5; 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$data will contain the xml string

This is a great script, except I've received the email from Weather.com and in the terms of use it clearly states that you have to include 4 of their partner links below the weather forecast to comply along with, obviously, a Weather Channel logo. I think I'll try Yahoo! weather as the prospect of showcasing links to Disney and eHarmony isn't looking so dandy

Thanks for the script. I have a quick question. Where could I alter or set up the Cron Job? Thanks!

didnt seem to grab dtate... the TXT file was just kind the shell still... not actual info... ??

Doesn't work at all. Tried it with php4 and php5. Missing temp, wind speed. Icon doesn't work either.

Do you know if it's possible to retrieve next day forecast information and four days after that? If not, I would appreciate it if you can recommend me alternatives. Thanks!

Can't you use it for European area? If yes, what to put instead of zipcode?

It's possible extract next 7 days

Hi dear,

how can i view all the 26 datas from the $data formated as text (w/o the xml-tags). i will give it in a databank...

thanks golden

Please update! This is an awesome script but its not working right. I keep getting errors im entering the right path for the root txt file but its not working wtf?

Are there additional variables? I would like it to display the city name rather than just the zipcode.

Good site! It is very creative and includes a wealth of information.

Any idea of how can we extract next 3 forecast days??
