Legacy Weather PHP scripts
In the 10+ years I have been offering my scripts freely, there have been many others who did likewise with their weather-related scripts. That community effort is greatly appreciated by weather enthusiasts, and is what keeps this hobby a fun learning experience. Sometimes, authors of popular weather-related PHP scripts will decide to discontinue publishing/ongoing support for their effort due to personal reasons. That is a normal outcome of life's passage of time and the authors should not be expected to continue support indefinitely.
What I've tried to do here is to curate a selection of the most popular author-discontinued scripts that still have usefulness, to provide a common download point, and attempt to provide needed updates as PHP versions change over time. Where possible, I asked permission to do this from the original authors and they have agreed to allow me to offer this to the weather enthusiast community. Where contact was not available, the scripts are posted here as they existed in the last versions posted by the original authors using their original licensing information.
These scripts are offered as-is and peer support is available and should be requested on wxforum.net, weather-watch.com or the Cumulus forum. The support can be provided there by the many enthusiasts who have previously installed/configured these scripts on their personal weather websites..
Anole's wxgraphic.php script
Larry Boyd (anole) wrote the highly popular wxgraphic script which creates a weather graphic (banner or stamp) with an image and current weather conditions. A sample is shown below and also on my weather graphics page.
He discontinued his PineislandWeather.com and anolecomputing.com websites when he moved July, 2017.
Weather software supported: Weather-Display,
WeatherLink, VWS, wview, WXSolution, wview32 (others if suitable stickertags template is used)
Requires: PHP V5.2+, GD Library (enabled on most PHP installations)

TNETweather scripts
Sadly, Kevin Reed of TNETweather.com passed away in January, 2018. His contributions to the weather enthusiast community are legendary in his assistance, his scripts and his graphics site logos/mastheads. Many of his creations are in daily use today (including on this site). He specialized in PHP/JavaScript scripting and custom graphics, and he generated scripts that many Weather-Display and Cumulus users found useful for their own sites. The architecture of the Saratoga template set ("Included Settings website template") was Kevin's design. His Weather-Display Clientraw Parser for Weather-Display lives on here.
I have included below some of his most popular scripts. Please note that some of them are weather software specific.

Relayweather scripts
Michael Holden (mth) of relayweather.com wrote several popular scripts. He discontinued his script distribution and weather website
Acknowledgments: Special thanks go to Curly of Michiana Weather and to Murry Conarroe of Wildwood Weather
for providing many tips and code snippets
to educate me(mth) in the PHP scripting language. Without their kind help
and assistance, none of these scripts would be possible. *The clientraw
parser was originally by Valentinois and was modified for use with the
Saratoga Template.
