World Temperature Dynamically?

Oriel

Hi Folks,
I've created a website (css, php, sql) advertising a friend's parents' appartment in Spain.
As part of the front page, I'm displaying the current temperature of the region. At the moment it's static in the HTML.
Does anybody know of a source to enable me to link the php so that I can update the temperature dymanically?

Thanks,
S.

I don't have the answer you want.

But I am sure there are weather sites out there that will give you a banner/temperture to embed to your page?

frontpage has an option to insert web components, one of these is a weather thingy

<!--webbot bot="ExtWebComponent" S-Name="Weather forecast from MSNBC" U-Server="http://www.msnbc.com/m/chnk/fp_wea.asp?stage=select&weaTxt=madrid&sCID=LEVS&quot; Tag="body" Preview="<img src=http://www.msnbc.com/m/chnk/i/fp_default.gif width=256 height=149 border=0>" ClientSide="TRUE" startspan --><script language="javascript" src="http://www.msnbc.com/m/chnk/d/weather_d_src.asp?acid=LEVS"></script><script language="javascript" src="http://www.msnbc.com/m/chnk/r/wea_fp_r_src.js"></script><script language=javascript>var oWea = new makeWeatherObj();document.write(RenderWeather(oWea));</script>

something like that might help

Enygma,
Thanks but I already have my formatting etc done, and was just looking for a variable rather than an image.

you could easily write some PHP parsing code to retreive the above page, extract the temperature for the desired region and present this on your site...

I dont know PHP, but a simple Reg Exp should do the trick..

hope this helps

Try a searching for a spanish weather site that has an xml page with the current temperatures.
