my old one wont work anymore btw. whatpulse closed the old api site (well atleast thats what they said in one of the mass emails they sent)
but eh rav0 there seems to be a pretty good whatpulse class on the whatpulse site , that will fetch the info  but it wont display the picture or cache the data for you WHICH YOU MUST DO (or they will probley block you or something) , then you just need to work out how to display the pictureusing the GD libary

functions you will probley use for the caching
http://au3.php.net/function.fopen
http://au3.php.net/function.fwrite
http://au3.php.net/function.fread
http://au3.php.net/function.fclose

functions for displaying an image
http://au3.php.net/function.imagecreatefrompng for loading an image from an png file
http://au3.php.net/function.ImageTTFText  for writing on the image (with a font)
http://au3.php.net/function.imagepng
http://au3.php.net/function.ImageDestroy
and header
http://au3.php.net/function.header to tell the browser that your sending an image use like "Header ("Content-type: image/png");"

after looking at those functions you should have a general idea of how to put all this together just post if you need help
