Today we have yet another PHP entry for the WeatherBug API contest going on right now. This PHP related entry is called the PHP WeatherBug Wrapper. This PHP application allows its users to take the existing wrapper and then build their own frontend for it, possibly to be used on their own web server. One option might even be to bundle this with something like Ext JS for example? I for one cannot see why this would too difficult for programmers to do?

So what does the PHP WeatherBug Wrapper offer?

• wb_searchLocations - Returns the location based on the U.S. and international city name or U.S. Zip Code.
• wb_stationList - For a given zipcode, citycode or latitude/longitude this call returns the weather stations in the area.
• wb_liveWeather - Returns detailed live weather conditions for the chosen location. (RSS)
• wb_compactLiveWeather - Returns concise live weather conditions for the chosen location. (RSS)
• wb_forecastRSS - Returns the 7-day forecast for a zipcode, citycode or latitude/longitude. (RSS)
• wb_cameraList - For a given Zip Code or latitude/longitude, this call returns a list of available weather cameras (U.S. Only).
• wb_alertsRSS - Returns weather alert information for a given Zip Code or latitude/longitude (U.S. Only). (RSS)

Also included.
