About:
PHP Weather makes it easy to show the current weather on your Web page. PHP Weather retrieves the latest METAR (weather) report and converts this format into both imperial and metric units, caches the data in a MySQL, PostgreSQL, or DBA database for fast retrieval, and makes it easily available in PHP scripts. You can display the data in several languages by using the included translations.

I believe the correct term is "imperial" units.

If you just want part of the report, then just find the part of the pretty_print_metar() function you need, and use that. All the data that are pretty-printed are available to you as individual variables, eg $temp_c, $wind_dir_eng etc.

Nice job interpreting metars to display weather. Are you thinking about adding functions to display individual readings so a developer can pick and choose which readings he or she wants to display. I am using your routines on my web page to display readings for three airports near my home.
