AccuWeather script & templates

[Simba7]

Ok. I have most of it done..

The problem is Wind Speeds. I don't know where the heck it's getting the wind speeds, but they are not correct. Sometimes they are WAY off.

How do you dump the variables to the screen?

I did some reworking of the accuweather.php script. Okay, I rewrote it. For folks in the USA, one can simply change the zip code in the URL to your location. If you prefer metric instead of English measurements, change the metric=0 to metric=1 in the URL.

Hope this helps!

Code: Select all

<?php
$file = "http://forecastfox.accuweather.com/adcbin/forecastfox/weather_data.asp?location=20001&metric=0&partner=forecastfox";

$uvindex = array( "Low" => 2, "Moderate" => 4, "High" => 6.5, "Very High" => 9, "Extreme" => 11 );

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "cData");

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

$xml = simplexml_load_string($result);

// Dump the output
//print_r($xml->currentconditions);

$pressure = $xml->currentconditions->pressure;
$temperature = $xml->currentconditions->temperature;
$realfeel = $xml->currentconditions->realfeel;
$humidity = rtrim($xml->currentconditions->humidity, '%');
$weathericon = $xml->currentconditions->weathericon;
$windgusts = $xml->currentconditions->windgusts;
$windspeed = $xml->currentconditions->windspeed;
$visibility = $xml->currentconditions->visibility;
$precip = $xml->currentconditions->precip;
$uvi = $uvindex[trim($xml->currentconditions->uvindex)];

echo "weathericon:".$weathericon." temperature:".$temperature." humidity:".$humidity." windgusts:".$windgusts." windspeed:".$windspeed." visibility:".$visibility." realfeel:".$realfeel." precip:".$precip." uvindex:".$uvi." pressure:".$pressure;

It is also possible to find location with geo coordinates:
1) lets say: monaco (http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html) -> 43.7 / 7.4
2) in php script from above modify

Code: Select all

<?php
$file = "http://thale.accu-weather.com/widget/thale/weather-data.asp?slat=43.7&slon=7.4&metric=1";

3) $ php ./accwthr.php

Code: Select all

php ./accwthr.php 
weathericon:01 temperature:27 humidity:73 windgusts:9 windspeed:9 visibility:16 realfeel:32 precip:0.0 uvindex:4 pressure:101

I used the following website to get my location http://pastebin.com/dbtemx5F to get me http://forecastfox.accuweather.com/adcb ... orecastfox

and used this script to get me the details

Code: Select all

<?php
$file = "http://forecastfox.accuweather.com/adcbin/forecastfox/weather_data.asp?location=AFR|ZA|SF006|BELFAST&metric=1&partner=forecastfox";

$uvindex = array( "Low" => 2, "Moderate" => 4, "High" => 6.5, "Very High" => 9, "Extreme" => 11 );

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "cData");

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

$xml = simplexml_load_string($result);

// Dump the output
//print_r($xml->currentconditions);

$pressure = $xml->currentconditions->pressure;
$temperature = $xml->currentconditions->temperature;
$realfeel = $xml->currentconditions->realfeel;
$humidity = rtrim($xml->currentconditions->humidity, '%');
$weathericon = $xml->currentconditions->weathericon;
$windgusts = $xml->currentconditions->windgusts;
$windspeed = $xml->currentconditions->windspeed;
$visibility = $xml->currentconditions->visibility;
$precip = $xml->currentconditions->precip;
$uvi = $uvindex[trim($xml->currentconditions->uvindex)];

echo "weathericon:".$weathericon." temperature:".$temperature." humidity:".$humidity." windgusts:".$windgusts." windspeed:".$windspeed." visibility:".$visibility." realfeel:".$realfeel." precip:".$precip." uvindex:".$uvi." pressure:".$pressure;

This script works great. But for the location, simply using a US ZIP code in the URL (?location=) worked for me. Thanks.
