I'm trying to pull just part of this page:
http://mobile.weather.gov/port_mp_ns.php?select=3&CityName=Fayetteville&site=RAH&State=NC&warnzone=NCZ088

Namely, just the "Weather" and "Temp". I'd like to do it in-line with PHP, but I can't seem to get it to cooperate. I'm not above using an intermediate page processed and cached to feed the information, but I'm trying to avoid it.

Any ideas?

You know the NWS has a public XML feed you can grab, right?

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/xml/

Here is my PHP implementation, which you are welcome to modify as needed:

<?php
$xslDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xslDoc->load("./nwsweather.xslt");

$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->load('http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KRDU.xml');

$proc = new XSLTProcessor();
$proc->importStylesheet($xslDoc);
echo $proc->transformToXML($xmlDoc);
?>

no, no I did not know they published via XML. In fact I have an RSS reader that can rip through this for breakfast.

THANK YOU /thread

Because cURL owns.

That's why.

You're right! But it was entirely redundant, and I didn't actually do anything with the resource it retrieved.
