Class Summary Services_Weather

PEAR::Services_Weather_Weatherdotcom

This class acts as an interface to the xml service of weather.com. It searches for given locations and retrieves current weather data as well as forecast for up to 10 days.

For using the weather.com xml-service please visit http://www.weather.com/services/xmloap.html and follow the link to sign up, it's free! You will receive an email where to download the SDK with the needed images and guidelines how to publish live data from weather.com. Unfortunately the guidelines are a bit harsh, that's why there's no actual data-representation in this class, just the raw data. Also weather.com demands active caching, so I'd strongly recommend enabling the caching implemented in this class. It obeys to the times as written down in the guidelines.

For a working example, please take a look at docs/Services_Weather/examples/weather.com-basic.php
