database not refreshing ...

[Josh L. <jom...@gm...>]

Hello All

I have downloaded PHP Weather and am trying to use it as a part of my
WordPress blog. I was able to get everything set up with a mysql db
just fine and I am able to ouput the data like I want.

The one nagging problem is the only way I can get new metar data is to
manually re-create the tables through the config pages. My suspicion
is there is one line of code or one variable that needs to be set to
fix this, but I can' figure out what it is.

I have pasted the code I am using below ... thanks in advance. If
there is any further information I can provide, please let me know.
