Summary: After Installing executing make_config.php just shows blank 

Initial Comment:
I downloaded and installed the code into the /Weather 
directory.  I am able to open the index.php file and have 
the weather displayed.  However when I try to follow 
the directions in the manual it says the first step is to 
create a new default.php by using the make_config.php 
page.  

When I attempt to open the page I get a blank screen.

PHP4
MySQL 4.1
Apache 2.0.48

Here is a patch which seems to fix the problem for me:

--- make_config.php     2005-01-19 15:45:19.000000000 -0600
+++ make_config.php-new 2005-01-19 15:45:06.000000000 -0600

    options in $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and not on a copy. */
 $keys = array_keys($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
 foreach ($keys as $option) {
+  $option = str_replace("\&","&", $option);
   $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$option]->update_value($HTTP_POST_VARS);
 }

I can now visit make_config.php with safari (OS X version 10.3.7) and it works.

Try a different browser. I was getting an error with safari on Mac OS X when I tried to load config/make_config.php. Safari puts an item in the http environment that looks something like this: 

HTTP_COOKIE=prefs=show_changed&on&show_diff&&select_diff&&user_name&JohnDoe

I guess the loop over the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS chokes on the &'s in this variable. I see that php4 uses '&' for references.

I visited the page with firefox and it loaded with no problems.

php4
apache 1.3.33-2 on debian
kernel 2.6.9

I have the same problem. The error is thrown when trying to 
access $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$option] as an object.

In make_config.php there is a line liek this in a for loop:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$option]->update_value
($HTTP_POST_VARS);

And the error given is:
PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function on a non-object 
in ...
