ssWeather (or secure, simple Weather) is a streamlined solution to displaying the current weather conditions for a predefined zip code on a web page using the Yahoo! weather RSS feed. The script can display any combination of:
- The current temperature (in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit)
- The current conditions (e.g. "Sunny", "Heavy Rain", etc.)
- A graphical representation of the current conditions
- The date of the reading
- The city of the current reading
- The region/state of the current reading
- The country of the current reading
- The time of sunrise
- The time of sunset
The PHP script can be used on both secure and non-secure web pages without courtesy link-backs to other web sites and without any obtrusive security warnings issued by common browsers (such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer). Other weather scripts and applets may cause the browser to prompt the user if he or she wants to display any "non-secure items" or "execute an ActiveX control."
ssWeather is unencumbered by these prompts. It will display the weather at the default security settings for Internet Explorer without a hitch!
Please note that implementing ssWeather on a web site requires that you have access to upload and execute PHP files on a web host. As such, ssWeather will *NOT* work on profiling web sites such as MySpace or FaceBook.
