The problem was clicking on Edit. It would just take me back to the
page.

The simplexml_load_file function was added in PHP5. Really don't want
to parse XML myself like I used to.
Note about PHP versions though... PHP 5.3 is now stable (spent some
time fixing older scripts that used strip() because of it).
The last release of PHP 4 was Aug 2008. It is no longer on the
download page at PHP.net which makes it very old now.
PHP 5.3.0 Stable was released Jun 2009.

Nice to know that so that I can use that in the future. I was only
using phpversion() though, not phpinfo(). Could have just said it was
an older version though without giving out the version.
However, Most web servers expose which version of PHP you are using
in their headers when they serve pages Even if they are using
ServerTokens Prod which I recommend. So it's not a big secret from
those that would use that information.
For example: X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.9

I was going to call it just weather, but I plan on a number of other
weather plugins, some that work with specific Weather reporting
packages like Weather-Display and Cumulus. So I figured this was a
basic one for those who don't have their own weather station.

Learning something every day.... that would work for everything except
the weather radar image. I don't have anyway to really look that up
to know which one fits for which city.
