Syntax and adding images..

[Donovan A. H. <do...@hu...>]

I have PHPWeather running but I am having a few issues getting the
precipitation to show up, I'd also like to add an image of the current
weather conditions like on the http://www.moulton-udell.k12.ia.us/ site
as described in the below message.

It seems like I'm making this process over complicated, but it is
working all except for the precipin and I believe that is due to the
wrong syntax.

Here is the current code I am using:

-- start --

   <?php
include('./weather/phpweather.inc');
include('./weather/locale_en.inc');
$metar  = get_metar('KVCT');
$data   = process_metar($metar);
$temp_f = $data['temp_f'];
$windmph = $data['wind_miles_per_hour'];
$winddir = $data['wind_dir_text_short'];
$dewf = $data['dew_f'];
$humidity = $data['rel_humidity'];
$visibility = $data['visibility_miles'];
$precipin = $data['precip_6h_in'];


echo "<tr><td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"
color=\"#000000\">Temp:</font></div></td><td><font face=\"Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\" color=\"#000000\">$temp_f
&deg;F</font></div></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"
color=\"#000000\">Wind:</font></div></td><td><font face=\"Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\" color=\"#000000\">$windmph mph
$winddir</font></div></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"
color=\"#000000\">Dew Point:</font></div></td><td><font face=\"Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\" color=\"#000000\">$dewf
&deg;F</font></div></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"
color=\"#000000\">Humidity:</font></div></td><td><font face=\"Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\" color=\"#000000\">$humidity
%</font></div></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"
color=\"#000000\">Visibility:</font></div></td><td><font face=\"Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\" color=\"#000000\">$visibility
m</font></div></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><font face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"
color=\"#000000\">Precipitation:</font></div></td><td><font
face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\" size=\"1\"
color=\"#000000\">$precipin</font></div></td></tr>";

?>

-- end --

Be my guest!   I found it extraordinarily easy to use the phpweather.inc
and
images.inc files.  Works marvelously!

Well, I don't know if most weather stations report current weather
conditions frequently or not.  But the station I'm using doesn't appear
to
use them very often, so instead of printing nothing, I decided to print
the
cloud conditions.  It's a little more useful that way.

<grin>  Well then, you won't want to miss tomorrow's lunch -- we're
having
turkey fritters and hash browns!

Thanks again for the script and graphics -- they look great!
