Creating a simple Weather.com / GeoIP mashup
Friday, June 6th, 2008I just finished creating a simple Weather.com and GeoIP mashup. All you need to do is register with Weather.com and go to their tools / website section. Then you need to install GeoIP on your server. Then you need to add the following source code:
$localzone = null;
if(geoip_db_avail(1))
{
$localzone = geoip_record_by_name($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
}
$zip = $localzone['postal_code'];
if(!isset($zip) || $zip ==null)
{
echo “We could not find your zip code”;
exit();
}
Mash it up with Weather.com’s source code and that’s it!
