Re: Class Proposal Weather_Metar

Thanks for the clarification, In fact it is parser and retrieval, there are two modes of retrieval, httpd and local, local retrieval means the metar is somewere on the filesystem (if you have a cron to update selected metars), and httpd (using NET_SOCKET). It is possible to extend it further (ftp). As for the name I thought about Net_Metar but all other classes (usin Net_) have somthing to do with networking, the only thing network related about this class is that in some cases it uses the network to retrieve the data. IMHO Net_Weather is not elligible, but if the name Weather_Metar does not appeal to you am open to suggestions Yavo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ondrej Jombik" <nepto@pobox.sk> To: <pear-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 10:59 PM Subject: RE: [PEAR-DEV] Class Proposal Weather_Metar > Maxim, 21:57:41 > 27. august 2002 (utorok) > Greetings. > > > > current (within a few hours) weather conditions for Bremen Germany > > Do airports allow the free commercial use of this data? > > AFAIK metars are not possesion of airports but National Weather > Service (http://weather.noaa.gov/).
