Right heres a little snippet of code to play with the description from
the weather feeds.
----
$description = "The forecast for Hartlepool, United Kingdom on Wednesday: sunny
intervals. Max Temp: 8°C (46°F), Min Temp: -2°C (28°F), Wind Direction: NW,
Wind Speed: 17mph, Visibility: good, Pressure: 1031mb, Humidity: 62%, UV risk:
low, Pollution: N/A, Sunrise: 07:08GMT, Sunset: 16:32GMT";
preg_match("|(The forecast for (.*), (.*) on .*): (.*)\.
(.*)|",$description,$match);
preg_match_all("| (.*): (.*),|U",$match[5].",",$matches,PREG_SET_ORDER);
-----
If you print_r out $match and $matches you should see how useful this would be.
It works with the current format of the description the Beeb uses.
Cheers
John
