Hi Talha_13 sorry it's been so long. "Stephen Apple" recently posted a cleaner version of the code that seems to be faster and more reliable... if you still want to use my host for the php you can change the url in geektool to use his new code...

1) Go to weather.yahoo.com and find the page for your city... eg. here is the page for Denver CO http://weather.yahoo.com/unite...

2) Once you're on that page copy the url in the address bar ( the one that looks like the one I posted for denver)

3) Make your geektool url point to:
http://free.jbuc.com/weatherIm..."paste the url you copied here, erasing the quotes too"

I hope this helps... thanks Stephen!
Here's a link to his comment.

Fantastic Stephen!
This is way faster too. For anyone using my old url (free.jbuc.com) I've updated it to accept this model instead ( the old one still works too it's just slower and buggy like it's always been )

http://free.jbuc.com/weatherIm...{full yahoo url}

right now it's undocumented in the tutorial page... but i'll update that later if I can.

thanks again Stephen.

Well... that didn't work at all. The comment window didn't accept the PHP block. Try this:

Hello! Great tutorial. Thank you. I've shortened the weather image PHP script. The regex should be a little more flexible incase yahoo change things on the page. Hope this helps others!

Remember to change the first line to include your yahoo weather link.

**FINALIZED IMAGE DIRECTIONS**

1. Go to: http://free.jbuc.com/weatherIm.... Follow the directions given
3. Find link at the end of tutorial
4. Paste as "URL" for IMAGE geeklet

FOR CLARIFICATION:
- You don't need your own server
- You don't need to use a shell script - only an IMAGE script
- Just copy and paste the link given at the end of the tutorial. Like this, but with different code:
"http://free.jbuc.com/weatherIm..."
*(repeat of jbuc's link posting)

Talha_13 I'm seeing it on my desktop at the moment. would you mind posting the code you are trying to use and I can see what's happening. I might need to change the search for non-USA regions

I couldn't change the url for current weather conditions. Also, the current weather image code that you've provide doesn't work :(

I copy/pasted the exact code with my citydata subbing in where it needed to go. My forecast works but I can't get the image working. If I've done no customization or anything to my Mac, don't have a server, or anything special other than other Geektools working on my Mac, what's my next move?

This is what I used in the shell command box:

find('.forecast-icon',0)->getAttribute('style');
preg_match('/http:(.*?)png/', $es, $imagepath);

$image=imagecreatefrompng($imagepath[0]);

imagealphablending($image, true);
imagesavealpha($image, true);
header('Content-Type: image/png');
imagepng($image);
