Much time has passed since the prior release of my NWS4Cast PHP Weather script. I spent some time rewriting a significant portion of the code to make it far more orderly in terms of separating methods from settings, which current users will find refreshing I’m sure.

I’ve also added icon support; various (overdue) fixes to XML node names; trimmed down the file size significantly; and tweaked some of the calcs. All-in-all, users should find this a much-improved release, and set-up should be considerably easier. As always, it’s Dreamhost-friendly as it uses CURL rather than fopen.

There’s more to be done in terms of making the code more elegant, but it’ll come. If you enjoy this script, simply drop me a line to let me know where you’re putting it to good use.

Edit: Upped to 0.55 after cutting even more extraneous code, most of it from the parser module. Now weighs in at only 5kb total.
