#16 defaults.php has no effect

[Loic RIOUAL]

Hi, I just discovered php weather, this is great !
And I am really admirative using this tool, it is such well
developped !
I am using the latest version 2.1.1 downloaded today.

Anyway, when creating my defaults.php via your
interface, and puting it in the root dir, this has no effect,
my page doesn't take this in consideration.
I just made a test to see if the include was done but
that's it.

Voila !

Merci.

Hmm, it works here. Have you uploaded defaults.php to the
same directory as PHP Weather?

I have the same problem here..

stereo@Hertz:~/public_html/phpweather-2.1.2/ > ls -l
defaults.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 stereo stereo 176 Aug 16 09:16 defaults.php

The file doesn't even seem to be read by base_object.php. I added
echo "foo"; to defaults.php and didn't find anything in the output.

PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR seems to be correct (/home/stereo/
public_html/phpweather-2.1.2). base.object.php sees the file; I
added another echo foo; after
"if(file_exists(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . '/defaults.php')) {" and it
is printed twice.

This is my defaults.php:

<?php
/* This is a local configuration file for PHP Weather.
/* icao */
$this->properties['icao']='ELLX';

/* pref_units */
$this->properties['pref_units']='only_metric';

?>

This is very weird for your setup looks fine. I've just
downloaded phpweather-2.1.2.tar.bz2, unpacked it and made a
defaults.php file with

<?php
$this->properties['pref_units'] = 'only_metric'; /*
locale_common.php */
?>

This works as expected which means that the weather report
on the index.php page now only contains metric units.

I'm using PHP 4.3.3RC3 on a Debian GNU/Linux system with
Apache 1.3.27. What versions are you using? (Use the
phpinfo() function in PHP to find out if you're unsure.)

A couple of things to try:

i) replace PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR with the full path. I had
some trouble with that on solaris but haven't had time
recently to work out what was happening. I know it sees the
file, but you it's perhaps not including it :-P

ii) get rid of the conditional if{}, and change the
include() for require(). That'll at least make it tell you
why it can't get hold of a file. You could also turn up your
error reporting level - that should help work out what's up.

Please ignore my previous comment, I am an idiot who can't even
type "defaults" correctly :).

So can I conclude that this works correctly in PhpWeather?
Or are people still having problems?
