Title: Current Weather Conditions?
Post by: Anonymous on April 01, 2004, 04:51:00 PM

This is probably OT anywhere I post it. On the Fornits homepage, who's weather does the "current weather conditions" reflect?

If I ever get my site up and running I'm thinking that would be a cool feature, the cascading weather (real-time, too, I'm guessing?) over the screen, so Ginger if you could point me toward the codes for that I'd be appreciative.  :nworthy:

Well, I'd say that's OT in all but this topic

LOL

Anyway, here's the code. As you can see, wunderground.com has changed something in their output format so that the string doesn't parse out the same way it used to. Oh well, it was just for fun anyway.

$show_weather=1;
if ($show_weather==1){
  $fh=fopen("http://www.wunderground.com/US/PA/Pittsburgh/KAGC.html","r");
  while (!feof($fh)){
  $weatherpage .= fread($fh,1024);
  }
  $weatherpage = strip_tags($weatherpage);
  $weatherpage =substr($weatherpage,strpos($weatherpage,"Observed"),strlen($weatherpage));
  $end=(strpos($weatherpage,"Visibility")-strpos($weatherpage,"Conditions"))-11;
  $weatherpage =substr($weatherpage,(strpos($weatherpage,"Conditions")+11),$end);
//  $weatherpage="rain";
  if (preg_match ("/sno/i",$weatherpage) || preg_match ("/flu/i",$weatherpage) || preg_match("/rain/i",$weatherpage)){
    $snow_no = 8; // snow number
    $snow_speed = 7; // smaller number moves the snow faster
    $snow_stx="stx = 0.02 + Math.random()/10";
    $snow_img="/wwf/images/snow2.gif";
    if (preg_match ("/sno/i",$weatherpage)){
      if (preg_match ("/lig/i",$weatherpage)){
        $snow_no = 12; // snow number
        $snow_speed = 7; // smaller number moves the snow faster
      }else if (preg_match ("/heav/i",$weatherpage)){
        $snow_no = 16; // snow number
        $snow_speed = 4; // smaller number moves the snow faster
      }else{
        $snow_no = 10; // snow number
        $snow_speed = 4; // smaller number moves the snow faster
      }
    }else if (preg_match ("/flu/i",$weatherpage)){
      if (preg_match ("/lig/i",$weatherpage)){
        $snow_no = 3; // snow number
        $snow_speed = 7; // smaller number moves the snow faster
      }else{
        $snow_no = 4; // snow number
        $snow_speed = 4; // smaller number moves the snow faster
      }
    }else if(preg_match("/rain/i",$weatherpage)){
      $snow_stx="0;";
      $snow_img="/wwf/images/raindrop.gif";
    }
?>


  }//end check for weather type
}//end check for index
?>
