What is PHP Weather? -------------------- PHP Weather makes it easy to show the current weather on your webpage. All over the world airports make a so-called METAR-report once an hour. A METAR report is an aviation weather report to be used primarily by airplanes. The report contains data, in a shorthand form, about temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud-coverage and much more. PHP Weather converts this format into both empirical and metric units, caches the data in a MySQL, Postgres or DBM database for fast retrieval, and makes easy availably in PHP scripts. Installation ------------ See the file INSTALL for instructions on installation of PHP Weather on your webserver.

If you language isn't there, then please write a translation. o Can be use with WAP-phones. Example-page is included. Please see http://phpweather.sourceforge.net/ for full details and examples.
