This is a basic example of the the weather screen available using the cisco.internect.net services.
Above left is an example of this version - the live example above right is the service hosted here.
To set your location head over to weatherzone and find your 'lc' value by finding the region you want, eg Hobart then clicking the RSS link and you'll see &lc=15465 in the URL - that's the number you want! **Weatherzone services Australia only**
The files
There are just two php scripts to make this work!
idle.php - You'll need to set the full URL for this address on your webserver in your phone's configuration file (idleURL).
Basically it just tells the phone to download and display the dynamically generated PNG file.
createpng.php - this script given the 'lc' variable (WeatherZone's Location) will generate the current temp, and two day forecast.
The code was never intended for distribution so does lack commenting and isn't optimal.
Note that I use a font I donwloaded for the big temp text which you can get here: Arial-72.gdf
Every time this script is accessed it downloads the data from weatherzone - in my hosted version here I have implemented a caching system so that WeatherZone is only contacted at a minimum of 10 minute intervals.
