That's already fairly easy to do with the methods presented today...
And that's the key issue here: PhpWeather already gives you the pieces
to build this kind of thing, it's just assumed that the user knows how
to piece them together.

Well, it's not surposed to be that difficult - look at this code:

<?php

require('/some/path/to/phpweather/phpweather.php');
require(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . 'pw_utilities.php');
require(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . '/output/pw_text_en.php');
require(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . '/output/pw_images.php');

$weather = new phpweather();
$text    = new pw_text_en($weather);
$icons   = new pw_images($weather);

$location = $weather->get_location();
$report   = $text->print_pretty();
$sky      = $icons->get_sky_image();
$wind     = $icons->get_winddir_image();
$temp     = $icons->get_temp_image();

?>

This gives you all available information in five variables, it's then
up to you to put them into suitable HTML codes.
