User zipcode forecast?

[prvrt]

I would like to be able to allow the user once they get to my forecast page that shows my local forecast to be able to input their own zip code and get a forecast for their area. Any one done this and have the code?

The free HAMweather scripts will do this.

They also can display your current conditions for your town (if you send data to PWSweather.com).  And if you want to display data from other personal weather stations you can (with their permission).

This is what I use...

Code:

  <table width="700" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="text-align: center;">
      <tr class="table-top">
        <td align="center">Find your Local National Weather Service forecast by &quot;City, St&quot; or Zip Code</td>
      </tr>
      <tr align="center">
        <td class="searchinput"><div id="Layer2" style="Z-INDEX: 2; VISIBILITY: hidden; WIDTH: 200px; POSITION: absolute; HEIGHT: 115px"> Search by city or zip code. Press enter or select the go button to submit request </div>
            <form method="post" action="http://www.srh.noaa.gov/zipcity.php">
              <input name="inputstring" size="30" value="City, State or Zip Code" onfocus="this.value='';" />
              <input type="submit" name="Go2" value="Go" />
          </form></td>
      </tr>
    </table>

That is what I was looking for, to a point. Works ok, but it takes the user to the NWS instead of staying on my website. I think it is possible to enter the zipcode and then have the user inputed zip code forecast to be parsed like the local forecast and then be dispayed on my website instead of leaving to the NWS. This may be something for Ken to figure out. Basically I think I would need a second advforecast.php page that could take the user zip code, fetch the forecast and parse it.

That's what HAMweather does.  You can customize the output to exactly match your web site's look just by modifying a few templates.  Plus it displays watches/warnings, radar, area forecast discussions and more... all based on the zip code a person enters.
