I want to add a weather feature that's pretty much just like go.com or yahoo's where the user can enter their zip code and their local weather pops up.

Are there any gadgets/widgets that do this or is there extensive coding for something like that?



Answer
You could make one with PHP that parses an XML weather script. I did it once, I don't think I have the code lying around anymore :(.

This looks like a decent feed:

http://www.tickertech.com/products/xml/weather1.xml

It shows:

Temperature
Wind chill
Wind speed & direction
Relative humidity
Barometric Pressure
Visibility

All you have to do is make the PHP "explode" the content and then just echo it into a sentence.

EDIT:

And it also works by ZIP code, so don't forget to create the submission box for it.
