Truly Free Weather On Your Web Site!
Lots of people want weather information on their Web sites. But using a commercial source for that information, such as weather.com or AccuWeather, means either paying for a service, or slapping someone else's logo all over your site, or, worse yet, linking their canned product back to the service's Web site -- driving your traffic away!
Fortunately, the National Weather Service provides this information for free via XML. That's right: You can custom-design your own weather information box, complete with your own graphics, with information collected and updated hourly by the NWS.
This class takes all the programming work out of the equation. You just need basic PHP programming skills to write out a few variables -- this class will even provide the observation data for you in pre-formatted tables or pre-defined DIVs and classes!
