[RESOLVED] trying to include a script in php

balloontrader

Not sure what is causing this...

I have worked out how to take the Current Conditions web script that weather.com lets you add to your web site and make it dynamic to my site's users
by calling their zip out of the SQL database and popping it into the middle of the script like this

$loc_weather="http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/";
$loc2="?template=ALERV&par=null&unit=0&key=b89e4f1560a8fc7c85956d0915639b8b";
$getmyweather=$loc_weather.$my_weather_zip.$loc2;
include $getmyweather;

It gets the weather.com current conditions thing but it is surounded like this

document.write("  THe URL ");

the original code from weather.com is this

<script src="http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/MY_ZIP_CODE?template=ALERV&par=null&unit=0&key=b89e4f1560a8fc7c85956d0915639b8b"></script>

the script is working ok... just those pesky bits tacked on before and after.

The zip updates for the specific user ok too.

Anyone have any ideas?

hi
I dont know what value is '$my_weather_zip' ?????

<?php

$loc_weather="http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/";
$loc2="?template=ALERV&par=null&unit=0&key=b89e4f1560a8fc7c85956d0915639b8b";
$getmyweather=$loc_weather. $my_weather_zip .$loc2;

//echo $getmyweather; // to test what URL is set

$weather = file_get_contents( $getmyweather );

echo $weather;

?>

maybe file_get_contents() works better than include, for a remote URL
I dont know if this will work, but you can try
🙂

balloontrader

that gives me the same result as the include.

thanks though.

halojoy

then you most probably use bad URL.

And you would probably not be able to browse
and get anything out of the same URL

It is not this script code that is bad.

Try this, to find out what is wrong

<?php
error_reporting( 2047 ); //full debugging

$loc_weather="http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/";
$loc2="?template=ALERV&par=null&unit=0&key=b89e4f1560a8fc7c85956d0915639b8b";
$getmyweather=$loc_weather. $my_weather_zip .$loc2;

echo $getmyweather; // to test what URL is set
echo '<hr>'; 

$weather = file_get_contents( $getmyweather );
echo $weather;

?>

balloontrader

no... the url is good the script loads and works....

I just check the source code on the return....

the document write ("
and the "); start and ent the source code....

I think its a javascript thingy.... reading again.

Have you considered just using the script tags in your HTML? Then you can just change the one thing (the MYZIPCODE part) and it'll make the appropriate changes. You can even make this part a variable (<?php echo $my_weather_zip; ?>).

That way you have to do less work.

balloontrader

here's what I did to get it to work

$my_weather_zip=$zip_id[user_zip];
mysql_close();
?>
<script src='http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/<?echo $my_weather_zip?>?template=GENXV&par=null&unit=0&key=3c0ecb77756fb18516b344b5e9e179d4'></script>

I'm getting better at getting this.

balloontrader

oops... just read your reply wormer... that's exactly what I dug up

Thanks all
