I'm with you Jesus. We should open the Services category as "a place for classes which retrieves and treats data from public servers in internet". Any SOAP, RPC, propietary protocol could fit here. A nice thing would be if the main Services.php file could provide a caching mechanism for remote calls using Cache_Lite. My only fright with this category is the ammount of classes and packages people would like to commit. About the METAR stuff you may probably want to take a look at an old package proposal Yavor did: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&w=2&r=1&q=b&s=METAR I'm +1 for the weather class, btw. -- Tomas V.V.Cox mailto:cox@idecnet.com
