Google_Weather

This is a small PHP class to query the Google Weather API. As the use of this API is not officially endorsed by Google please use this with appropriate care.

Usage

To use this class just copy googleWeather.php into your project and use it from within your project files like so:

$gw = new googleWeather();
$gw->place = "berlin, germany";
$gw->locale = "de";
$test = $gw->get_weather();

get_weather() returns an array with all the information from the Google API. For a reference see below. For an example on how to use the data from this array see the index.php in the root.
