Google Weather API Datasource
This Datasource delivers the weather forecast based on zip and country using the google weather api
conditions in the model for the datasource:
['condition']['zip'] = Zip Code
['condition']['country'] = Country
['condition']['zip'] = Zip Code
['condition']['country'] = Country
PHP Snippet:
<?php
<?php
class WeatherSource extends DataSource {
public function read($model, $queryData = array()) {
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadXML(utf8_encode(
file_get_contents("http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=".$queryData['conditions']['zip']."-".$queryData['conditions']['country']."&hl=en")
));
if (!$dom) {
echo 'Error while parsing the document';
exit;
}
$s = simplexml_import_dom($dom);
//aktuelles wetter
$return[0]['condition'] = strtolower((string)$s->weather->current_conditions->condition['data']);
$return[0]['low'] = (string)$s->weather->current_conditions->temp_f['data'];
$return[0]['high'] = (string)$s->weather->current_conditions->temp_f['data'];
$return[0]['humidity'] = str_replace("Humidity: ", "", (string)$s->weather->current_conditions->humidity['data']);
$return[0]['wind_condition'] = (string)$s->weather->current_conditions->wind_condition['data'];
ereg("Wind: ([W|S|E|N]) at ([0-9]+) mph", $return[0]['wind_condition'], $wind);
$return[0]['speed'] = $wind[2];
$return[0]['direction'] = $wind[1];
$return[0]['date'] = strtotime($s->weather->forecast_information->forecast_date['data']);
//wetter fuer die naechsten tage.
$i = 1;
foreach($s->weather->forecast_conditions As $forecast){
$return[$i]['condition'] = strtolower((string)$forecast->condition['data']);
$return[$i]['low'] = (string)$forecast->low['data'];
$return[$i]['high'] = (string)$forecast->high['data'];
$return[$i]['date'] = strtotime($s->weather->forecast_information->forecast_date['data']) + ($i * 86400);

Anyways, most servers will reject file_get_contents, so you'll have to use Curl Instead.
$url = "http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=".$queryData['conditions']['zip']."-".$queryData['conditions']['country']."&hl=en";
$c = curl_init();
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$contents = curl_exec($c);
curl_close($c);
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadXML(utf8_encode($contents
));
));
if (!$dom) {

exit;

I understand it needs to be placed on
/models/datasources/GoogleWeather.php
Then you need to create a file on /models/
Setup the /config/database.php
And at last invoke it thru in the controller and use it in the view.
am I right? Or totally wrong :) ?
Thanks for your time in advance.
