How to get the tag “” from Yahoo Weather RSS in PHP?

Question

load(\'http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=VEXX0024&u=c\');
    $channel = $doc->getElementsByTagNa         


        

Answer 1

Something like:

echo $itemgotten->getElementsByTagNameNS(
    "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0","condition")->item(0)->
     getAttribute("temp");

The key is that you have to use getElementsByTagNameNS instead of getElementsByTagName and specify "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0" as the namespace.

You know yweather is a shortcut for http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0 because the XML file includes a xmls attribute:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:yweather="http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0"
    xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#">

Answer 2

How about:

• DOMElement::getAttribute — Returns value of attribute

And if you need to get anything with namespaces, there is corresponding methods ending in NS.
