Forgot to mention that another nice thing about using CURL is that you can then cache that XML file and have your code check first to see if there’s a cached version. My code doesn’t include that, but it’s not a bad idea to have.

Awesome post. One problem with using this method is that most shared servers won’t have “allow_url_fopen = On” set in php.ini (for security reasons). So I did some preliminary steps to get the data in using CURL, which many servers do have. I’ll try and paste it here… though not sure if the comment will display correctly:

$ch = curl_init(“http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=04843″);
$fp = fopen(“camden_weather.xml”, “w”);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);

$xml = simplexml_load_file(‘camden_weather.xml’);
… no changes to rest of PHP or HTML

Nice work! Thanks!
