 What is PHP Weather?
 --------------------
-PHP Weather makes it easy to show the current weather on your webpage.
-All over the world airports make a so-called METAR-report once an
-hour. A METAR report is an aviation weather report to be used
-primarily by airplanes. The report contains data, in a shorthand form,
-about temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud-coverage and much
-more. PHP Weather converts this format into both empirical and metric
-units, caches the data in an XML file or a MySQL, Postgres, Oracle 8,
-or DBM database for fast retrieval, and makes easy availably in PHP
-scripts.
