Well, if files are in webroot and phpWeather is configured properly, you
should be able to access them and see some weathers, etc. This is
probably what did you mean with sentence, that you have test script
already working.

Now you have some different page - your homepage. You want to have
phpWeather there. It is not certain what this mean, thus there are these
three alternatives.

1. Most simple one

   There is no problem to put link on your site to working phpWeather
   installation. You can even link particular location. Simply bookmark
   and than create link.

2. Classic one

   You can take phpWeather test script code and integrate it into your
   page. This is not so complicated, however your page will basically
   looks like test script in phpWeather.

   An example for this case can be seen here:

   http://nepto.sk/specials/weather/

3. Difficult one

   Since phpWeather is nicely coded using object-oriented advantages,
   you can create phpWeather object and call particular methods for
   metar parsing. Than you can print out any information you are
   interested in giving it arbitrary design and presentation form.

   An example for this case can be seen here:

   http://nepto.sk/about_me/news.php?lang=en

   This is my private news page, but in the right upper corner there is
   a box with current weather in city where I live. Weather information
   are displayed in box. That is example of arbitrary presentation form.

Now you have to choose what solution you want.
