Informations about the package forecast
MyWeather Forecast
MyWeather Forecast was created by, and is maintained by Tyler Youschak. MyWeather Forecast uses Forecast.io's weather API, so a free API key will be required. I've chosen Forecast.io due to the really inexpensive API, which supplies you with 1,000 free calls per day. If you go over 1,000 calls, it's only one-cent per 10,000 calls.
Requirements
Before installing Forecast, you need to make sure you have cURL installed on your server! Chances are this will already be completed!

Alright! We are now using the package, but how and where are we going to declare our API key (provided by Forecast.io)? Well, let's take a look:
- You can use it by typing the following:
$client = ForecastClient($apiKey);This will go ahead and set your API key for your request. - Now your going to want to set the latitude (lat) and longitude (lng) of the location your trying to find. It may be best to use Javascript and ask the person if you can use their location, or you can just hard code in a geo-location look up. Here's how you can do that:
$forecast = $client->get('lat','lng'); - Now, let's get the viddles! You can now (since you have declared your API key and lat & lng), use our
currently,minutely,hourly, anddailyselectors which will return that information in an array.
Here's a look at all of that combined:
