Why do have to read weather like this?

Agreed, PHPWeather does everything - so it is usually a lot more than anyone
needs. It is really made as a set of programming tools (classes really) that
you can pick and choose from to create your own weather application. For
example, I just use it to fetch the METAR and parse it into a form my own
code can easily use to determine if the conditions are VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR and
then color code the airport name and weather graphic I display on a radar
map. The 2.8M doesn't get downloaded - it stays on the web server (so the
size of teh script really doesn't matter - web hosting companies are not
that stingy on space anymore - at least they shouldn't be). The only thing
that gets downloaded is whatever the output of the script is - and this can
be very compact indeed.

Well, true. I just didnt need all the features and the hassels of
setting it up, so this smaller one workes just fine. I just wished I
had time to dink around with it so it would skim off TAFs as well. I
just never seem to find enough time to mess with code anymore.
