the Following code will go grab the xml for the Darwin Harbour inshore forecast from BOM and save it to disk as a htm and txt file.

The idea is run it once as a cron job - then just call the txt or htm file to display it for hte rest of the day

getElementsByTagName('forecast') as $e ) {
  $e = $e->parentNode; // this should be the  element
  foreach( $e->getElementsByTagName('forecast-period') as $l ) {
  if($l->getAttribute('index')=='0') {
								$date = date( "l jS F ", strtotime($l->getAttribute('start-time-local')));
								$curTxt= "Forcast for Darwin Harbour for $date \n \n";
								$curHtm= "
Forcast for Darwin Harbour for $date
\n\n";
                                foreach( $l->getElementsByTagName('text') as $t ) {
                               // echo 'name '.$l->getAttribute('type')."\n";
                               // echo 'data '.$l->nodeValue."\n";
							   $type=preg_replace('/[0-9]+/', '',strtoupper(preg_replace("/_/", " ", $t->getAttribute('type'))));
							   $typeHtm=preg_replace('/[0-9]+/', '',ucfirst(preg_replace("/_/", " ", $t->getAttribute('type'))));
							   $txt = $t->nodeValue;
                                $curTxt=$curTxt.$type.': '.$txt."\n\n";
								$curHtm=$curHtm."\n";
                                }
                }

  }
}
//Dispaly as text
echo $curTxt;
file_put_contents('../../imagecache/forecast.txt', $curTxt); //save file for rest of the day.
//separator
echo "##############################################################################
\n";
//display as html
$curHtm=$curHtm."
$typeHtm
 
$txt
";
echo $curHtm;
file_put_contents('../../imagecache/forecast.htm', $curHtm); //save file for the resrt of hte day.
