Google Weather API and Using Custom image

Question

I am using Google weather API and PHP for fetch conditions:

http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=New%20York

Is there any way for change:

<icon data="/ig/images/weather/partly_cloudy.gif"/>

to custom image?

Answer 1

As <icon data="/ig/images/weather/partly_cloudy.gif"/> is returned by the API (which is not an official API btw.) you could use an if statement in PHP to "replace" the image.

if($theAPIResponse->icon->attributes()->data == '/ig/images/weather/partly_cloudy.gif') {
       // Override the nodes data attribute with your custom image
       $theAPIResponse->icon->attributes()->data = '/path/to/your/custom_image.gif';
}

Answer 2

The simplest way is using str_replace("google_path","your_path").
