shawnplr Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 My first php script gives three day forecast by IP. Pretty much US only for now. Does it work for you? http://www.carptool.com Defaults to Chicago if your city is unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnplr Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks for the help. Looks like GeoIP is smarter than weatherforyou.com. Think I have to have that format though. So, I'm going to have to learn rss. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippy_102 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 It worked for me in Victoria BC Canada! Didn't give me a three day forecast though. It gave today and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnplr Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Just uploaded the newest database. But when I checked both of the missed cities on the web demo it was still missing them. Also checked them with ip2location demo. It missed too. A friend of mine here does the same. He has an old static IP and our ISP has switched to dynamic I think that has something to do with it. ???

dustinnoe Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Didn't work for me but I'm on a military installation and it says a different base. Probably has to do with the way they route traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balmung-San Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 From my work location it puts me as New York, when I'm really in Maryland. To make things more interesting, my company's main building is in Virginia. It seems to me like 1 + 1 = 4 in my case. Â I'll check it from home later to see if that's right.

Balmung-San Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Just tried it from home, and at least it's in the right state this time. Wrong area though. It brought me up as Bethesda, MD, but I'm in Glen Burnie MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
