PHP and RSS for Weather

[mkingsle]

Hi everyone:

I've been looking around the internet for a good and simple php script to get weather from Yahoo on my site. Just a simple blurb about the temp. is all I need to put up top my website. Anyone know of a good php script for that using their RSS feed?

Thanks,

Michael

a quick search at [phpclasses.org...] gave me the following: [phpclasses.org...]

I personally haven't used it but it seems legit. If this isn't what you are looking for, it shouldn't be too hard to implement your own, especially if you have php 5 available to you.

You mentioned php5 and I do in fact have it. I currently use it for Amazon xml, but want to branch out into other types of xml uses. If you have any tips on how to implement my own, it would be greatly appreciated.

It's very simple if you use SimpleXML [php.net]. Here is a very quick example:

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement(file_get_contents("http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=07070"));
echo 'Description: '.$xml->channel->description.'<br/><br/>';
echo $xml->channel->item->description;

Read the information posted at the link I have provided you above for more information on how to work with simplexml.

Thanks for the help. I will look at this more.

Thanks again.
