This tutorial details the process of developing a small Wireless Markup Language (WML) application that allows wireless device users to check global weather reports. Tools used in the Windows-based development environment are: Internet Explorer 5 (for display and testing), Edit Plus (a text editor offering WML syntax highlighting), the Apache Web, PHP, MySQL, the UP.SDK WML and WMLScript developers kit (which supports Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML), from phone.com). HDML support is recommended, but outside the scope of this tutorial.

The article provides links to code examples and additional resources for the tool set, including a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) primer and a Frequently Asked Questions digest (FAQ) covering object-oriented features of PHP utilized in building the weather application.
