Full Version: Two web services required for work...

Jeremy-
Got some client work and two things are being requested, but I have no idea what the best services are for them. Any help would be appreciated.

1. (United States) Weather report. Just something where I can put in a zip code, or define a county (county would be MUCH better) and have the information shown on the clients site.

2. WHOIS look up. Check a domain name and have the results shown on the client's website. Not on the site of a third party.

The services do not have to be free, but that would be a plus.


Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. original.gif

1. http://www.weather.com/services/xmloap.html

2. I know IPB has that. I am not sure which service uses, though.

Thanks, Sebastian! The XML feed is even better than what I had in mind. I'm going to set it up so that if winds are over a certain limit, or there's snow, the site will show the office as closed due to weather. I also found an image script I can link to from Weather.com that shows the a picture of the current weather. So that's all perfect now. original.gif

As for the WHOIS, I found a nice PHP script (EP-Dev Whois) to do exactly what I need.
