PHP Weather RSS Script

[eararaldor]

I'm making this script which reads of the BBC RSS weather

 

<?php

/*

  Uses a REST-style interface to www.weather.com to display the current data in a location. 

 

*/

 

function xml_via_proxy ($url) {

  $context = stream_context_create(

    array('http'=>

      array('proxy'=>'cache.uwe.ac.uk:8080')

    ));

 

  $contents = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

  return simplexml_load_string($contents);

 

};

 

$weather = xml_via_proxy("http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/world/0105.xml");

 

$description = $weather->rss->channel->item->description;

 

 

?>

<table border="1">

<h1>EALA</h1>

<tr><td>Description</td><td><?php print $description ?></td></tr>

 

</table>

 

Unfortunatly it currently isnt displaying anything. Have I got my nodes mixed up or somthing?
