I wanted to know if anyone has a simple method to fetch the day's local weather from something like yahoo. All I really need is the temperature, condition (rainy, sunny)and maybe windspeed. If I could include the icon for the condition that would be good too. Anyone have a simple solution for this that I can dump into my code? >Thanks. Using combinations of: $string=implode(file("http address"), ""); $array=explode("<some starter tag>", $string); $array=explode("<some end tag>", $array[1]); $endString=$array[0]; With the odd ereg_replace() to tweak the data you can grab info from wherever you want. However, you should get permission from the site, since this would count as a hit/page view on their site. Anna
