Header Warning message

[David K. <da...@kj...>]

Max et al;
I have downloaded april 6 CVS snapshot to set up on my
web page. I have setup the defaults and saved in
defaults.php. When I run the index.php I am getting an
on-screen warning telling me that header data (line
99) can not be added because ouput has already been
started in defaults.php (line 52).

I didn't this warning from previous snapshots?

I've just updated the documentation with a description of the format.
You can download the document directly from CVS here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpweather/phpweather/docs/

What do you think about LaTeX? I personally like it because I think
the result is superior to what you can make using Docbook or something
like that.

The files could be converted into HTML using LaTeX2HTML - and with a
little luck, then we'll be able to adjust the resulting files so that
we can included them on our webpage.

First up, you need to call set_icao('KVCT'); rather than set_metar() [you
can use set_metar() to feed it a metar directly for testing]

> $text->print_pretty();
> $icons = new pw_images($weather, array());

you don't need to include pw_images or instantiate this class unless you
want do display some pretty icons.

Now, to get the values out of the metar. I've just comitted a function to
CVS that will let you do this - update your code if you're using cvs, or
wait for the next tarball if you're not.

The easiest way to see how to use it is as follows:

First, you need to see the structure that a metar is stored in - just while
you're working out what to do next.

so

echo '<pre>';
print_r($weather->decode_metar());
echo '</pre>';

Next, you need to choose the information you want out. for temperature, you
need $metar['temperature']['temp_f']

You can see this in the output from the first bit, where you have

[temperature] => Array
        (
            [temp_c] => 25
            [temp_f] => 77
            [dew_c] => 19
            [dew_f] => 66
        )

That's telling you that within the array which is storing the metar, there
is an array storing the temp, which has an index temp_f with what you need
in in.

How to get at it:

echo $text->get_metar_value('temperature','temp_f');

that function will take up to three arguments, which will drill into arrays
stored within the metar. So to get the relative humidity,

echo $text->get_metar_value('rel_humidity');

- only one argument because it's not an array of it's own, it's just a
value.

This is all a bit of a hack, there's something not terribly appealing about
having to drill through arrays to find the value you need. I'll see if I
have any cunning ideas about how to make it more accessible for extension.

Syntax for cvs-phpweather???

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

I was using the current release version, but decided since the newer
version is about to be out it would be best to just start off with the
current cvs version.  I had most of the it functional with the release
version but it seems the syntax has changed, how do I have the current
cvs version output the following:  (mind giving me some examples)


Temp: 
Wind:  
Dew Point: 
Humidity: 
Visibility: 
Precipitation:

I've looked in the php files but I'm just missing something any
assistance would be helpful.  

Right now I have the below, it is able to output the temp in F.


<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

require('./weather/phpweather.php');
require('./weather/pw_utilities.php');

$weather = new phpweather(array()); $weather->set_metar('KVCT');

$language = "en";

    include(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . "/output/pw_text_$language.php");
    include(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . "/output/pw_images.php");
    $type = 'pw_text_' . $language;
    $text = new $type($weather, array());

$text->print_pretty();
$icons = new pw_images($weather, array());
$temp_f = number_format($temp * (9/5) + 32, 1);


echo "$temp_f &deg;F";

?>

I use CVS under windows with no trouble at all. (I've used it under 98, NT

How to encode the translations?

[Martin G. <gim...@gi...>]

Hi,

Those of you who follow the CVS checkins mailing-list will know, that
I've been playing around with the encodings used for the translations.

I've convinced Emacs to save the Hungarian translation using the UTF-8
(Unicode) character set. This seams to work well when we also send out
a HTTP header that tells the browser about the encoding.

But I would like to know if any of you know more about this? I'm so
fortunate that all the special characters I normally need are covered
by ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1), so I know that there's someone on the list
who knows more about this jungle than me :-)

We've tested the UTF-8 encoded Hungarian translation in Mozilla 0.9.9,
IE 6, and Opera 6. If you want to have a look yourself, then point
your favorite browser to this URL:

That should be easy now that we have images.inc. That's where the
functions that deal with images are defined. The following code works:

<?php
include('./locale_en.inc');
include('./images.inc');
include('./phpweather.inc');

$metar =3D get_metar('EHEH');
$decoded_metar=3Dprocess_metar($metar);
?>

<img src=3D"<? get_temp_image($decoded_metar) ?>" height=3D"50" width=3D"20=
" border=3D"1">&nbsp;
<img src=3D"<? get_winddir_image($decoded_metar) ?>" height=3D"40" width=3D=
"40" border=3D"1">
<img src=3D"<? get_sky_image($decoded_metar) ?>" height=3D"50" width=3D"80"=
 border=3D"1">&nbsp;

The code is taken from the file tables.php which is also in CVS in the
phpweather-1.x directory. There you'll find a comprehensive test of
the functions that deal with images.

The problem is, that the precip_6h_in entry isn't a standard field in
the METARs. So you cannot rely on it being available at all times, if
at all.

Something like this would probably be better:

if (empty($data['precip_6h_in'])) {
  $precipin =3D 'None';
} else {
  $precipin =3D $data['precip_6h_in'];
}

Be my guest!   I found it extraordinarily easy to use the phpweather.inc

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.

It's probably just as easy to include it in the phpweather.inc for
1.x, and in the phpweather class for phpweather 2 - it's not really
any conceptually different from the sections of code that actually do
the decoding.

The question is, what do we do if it doesn't check out? Like in the
example from EGBE, most of that metar was okay, but the wind was
wrong. Do we want to err on the safe side, and discard the whole lot?

Re: SV: Strange METAR

[Ray v. B. <r_v...@ho...>]

Maybe you could add a metar-check-hook. Normally, it doesn't check. By 
setting a hook to a check routine (in a separate file or something), you can 
check the metar syntax immediately after processing it.
This way, you can concentrate on the metar decoder now, and add the checking 
software later, and have severa subsequent versions without changing the 
metar decoder.

I don't know if this fits in your phpweather 2 design.

SV: Strange METAR

[Funder, J. O. <jh...@NA...>]

Hi Martin,

You are right 0200KT is wrong. Looking at the current weather in England my
guess is that the last number of the velosity is missing should most likely
read 02007KT og something like that.

The reason the decoding is fooled, is (as I have mentioned before) because
each group is decoded as a group by it self and not in the context of the
message. Normally when decoding metars we make sure that the sequence of the
groups are correct and that eg. there must be a cloud group and if a
weathergroup is present it must be placed correctly in the metar message.

rgds
Johnny

Hi again,

I just saw this METAR:

  EGBE 260820Z 0200KT 340V060 CAVOK 06/02 Q1033

There's an error in the windgroup (0200KT), isn't there? Johnny?

It fools the get_winddir_image() method in pw_images.php because the
'340V060' makes the 'wind' entry non-empty, but still, there's no
'deg' entry because '0200KT' is malformed.

The fix is trivial in pw_images.php, but I just wanted to make sure,
that it's the METAR that's wrong, and not the parsing.

Updates at the website

[Martin G. <gim...@gi...>]

Hi all,

There's now data available at SourceForge, have a look for yourself:

  http://phpweather.sourceforge.net/phpweather/index.php

The data comes from the cycle-files produced by the NWS:

  http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml#files

Each file contains the data for the corresponding cycle, and a cycle
is from x:45 to (x+1):44.

The difficult thing is to update the database at the right time. I've
set up a cronjob at SourceForge that updates it 11, 24, and 52
minutes past each hour. The check at 11 minutes past catches most
stations. Some stations make two reports each hour, (say at 50 and 20)
so we check again at 24 minutes past to catch those as well.

The last check is an attempt to catch the rest. It might be
unnecessary.

We might have to process the old cycle files one more time. The data
is appended to the files as it is received. So, if a report is
inserted into a file that's older than one hour, then we wont see it.
I don't know how often this happens...

Thanks a lot! I've commited it to CVS. If only the others translators
would hurry up so that we can release this thing...
