Helpful People
--------------

Thanks goes to all these persons who have helped:

Kristian Kristensen <zianet@zianet.dk>
  He gave me the idea that it would be cool to have the current
  weather shown on a webpage. An idea might seam as a little thing,
  but remember that someone has to get the idea, or else things will
  never be done.

Jeremy D. Zawodny <Jeremy@Zawodny.com>
  For writing Geo::METAR where I found the logick needed in PHP
  Weather.

Enrico Lodolo <e.lodolo@bo.nettuno.it>
  For suggesting that I use http to get the metars instead of the much
  slower ftp.

Stefan Wiesendanger <stefan.wiesendanger@epfl.ch>
  For rewritting the large case- and switch-statements as a couple of
  arrays. This speeds-up the parsing of the metars.

Mike <bvrtrimmer@lycos.com>
  He noticed that the pressures was all wrong. I though the unit used
  in the metar was hPa, when it really was inHg.

Jeffrey Y. Sue <jysue@tiki.net>
  Suggested that I told people how to turn off the warnings, if you
  don't establish a connection to MySQL.
  Later he made it possible to use PHP Weather with DBM databases. He
  also added support for precipitation.
  Lots of other stuff, see ChangeLog for more details.

Rutger Lubbers <rutger@notenbomer.nl>
  Noticed that South/southeast was duplicated in the
  directions-array.

Gogo "the Great" "Bongo,,,,"" <great@great.sk>
  Added support for PostgreSQL.

Eduardo Guilenea <eduardo@guilenea.com>
  Translated PHP Weather into Spanish, and thereby forced me to add
  support for multiply languages. (Which was a Good Thing :-)

Nicky Haan <nicky@netcase.nl>
  Translated PHP Weather into Dutch.

Antoine Bajolet <antoine.bajolet@free.fr>
  Translated PHP Weather into French.

Sven-Erik <sven_erik@andersen.as>
  Translated PHP Weather into Norwegian.
  He also sat down and did the boring work, when he manually compiled
  the complete list of all airports available from NWS.

Maciek Uhlig <muhlig@us.edu.pl>
  Noticed that I sometimes tried to access $cloud_coverage_array with
  just $cloud_coverage - which, of cause, didn't work.

Ing. Vladimir Kotala <kotala@ingema.net>
  Made a Czech translation, and suggested that I changed the long text
  '... degrees Celsius' into the more compact '... °C', which is much
  better.

Christian Ruetgers <chr@1komma6.com>
  Made a German translation of PHP Weather.

Carlo Gulin <karl@adriacom.it>
  Translated PHP Weather into Italian.

Paul Kairis <Paul.Kairis@sas.com>
  Told me how to add support for proxy servers.

Gyulai Mihaly <gyulai@my-deja.com>
  Translated PHP Weather into Hungarian.

Francesco Dini <dini.f@adr.it>
  Added support for Oracle 8 databases.

Angelo Dalli <angelo_dalli@hotmail.com>
  Did the Maltese translation of PHP Weather.

Max Hammond <max@flipstorm.net>
  Suggested that the proxy servers should be asked to return a fresh
  report and not a cached one.

Paul Strange <paul.strange@level67.com>
  Added support for using an XML file as a database.

Johnny Funder <jhf@slv.dk>
  Lots of explanations and suggestions. He also gave a much simpler
  formula for calculating the relative humidity.

Ray van Beek <r_vanbeek@hotmail.com>
  Helped me spot a little error with the current weather. He has also
  written code that displays the current weather as an image.

David Kjellquist <dave@kjellquist.com>
  Added support for windchill.
