To retrieve the weather forecast for your location based only on your current IP, the full tutorial will have the following 5 sections (http://bit.ly/1A5Y651), that will:
- Describe elements needed for weather forecast retrieval
- Describe the weather station code field of IP2Location
- Show code that gets the weather station code from IP address
- Show code that retrieves the weather forecast from Yahoo! Weather using the weather station code.
- Show code that retrieves the weather forecast using IP2Location

Here, I will only show you how to retrieve the weather forecast.

Code:: //includes the IP2Location framework require_once('IP2Location.php'); //function that sends and retrieves an answer from a HTTP request function SendRequest( $url, $method = 'GET', $data = array(), $headers = array('Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded') ) { $context = stream_context_create(array ( 'http' => array( 'method' => $method, 'header' => $headers, 'content' => http_build_query( $data ) ) )); return file_get_contents($url, false, $context); } //the client's IP $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; // Standard lookup with no cache $loc = new IP2Location('databases/db24.bin'); $stationCode=FindIPWeatherStationCode($ip,$loc); GetWeatherForecastFromYahoo($stationCode);
