Greetings:
Does anyone know of a good way to capture what a webform is sending? The reason I ask is this:
I am working on my infamous weather application which takes XML from weather.com and makes the pretty display seen here:
http://radioteal.no-ip.com/miketest/weather.php
This post specifically deals with the moonphase part... what is shown is from the XML feed and basically some pictures I made to get the icon...
I would like to show moonrise, moonset, % visable as well and so far there are NO xml feeds (that I am aware of) that deal with this... there is the naval observatory and I know I can parse a web page for this data but the form is interactive... here is the link to that site:
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html
This is the form I would like to capture the data for so I can get the result and parse it in my application.
If any of you have a better solution, please let me know because I am all for the simplest way to handle this
Thanks,
Mike
