  We review our recent analysis of $\pi K$ scattering data in terms of forward
dispersion relations, and also present the parameters of the strange
resonances. This work consists of fits to the data that are constrained to
satisfy analyticity requirements. The method yields a set of simple and
consistent parameterizations that are compatible with forward dispersion
relations up to 1.6 GeV while still describing the data. We also obtain the
pole parameters of the $K^*_0(800)$ and the $K^*(892)$ resonances.
