Find Weather Forecast from IP Address PHP Script

Find Weather Forecast from IP Address PHP Script

To retrieve the weather forecast for your location based only on your current IP, the full tutorial will have the following 5 sections (http://bit.ly/1A5Y651), that will:
- Describe elements needed for weather forecast retrieval
- Describe the weather station code field of IP2Location
- Show code that gets the weather station code from IP address
- Show code that retrieves the weather forecast from Yahoo! Weather using the weather station code.
- Show code that retrieves the weather forecast using IP2Location

Here, I will only show you how to retrieve the weather forecast.

 

 

    //includes the IP2Location framework
    require_once('IP2Location.php');
     
    //function that sends and retrieves an answer from a HTTP request
    function SendRequest( $url, $method = 'GET', $data = array(), $headers = array('Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded') )
    {
          $context = stream_context_create(array
          (
                'http' => array(
                      'method' => $method,
                      'header' => $headers,
                      'content' => http_build_query( $data )
                )
          ));
     
          return file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
    }
     
    //the client's IP
    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    // Standard lookup with no cache
    $loc = new IP2Location('databases/db24.bin');
     
     
    $stationCode=FindIPWeatherStationCode($ip,$loc);
    GetWeatherForecastFromYahoo($stationCode);
