I have figured out after struggling a bit how to pull most of the
information in 2.1.2, but I am still having difficulties pulling
"Clouds" and "Weather." I know that the information is in an array, but
I am unclear on how to bring it out of the array.
I also cannot seem to pull wind direction (SW, NW, W), but I can pull
the compass degree (135, 90, 110).
Here is the code:
$weather = new phpweather();
$icons = new pw_images($weather);
$location = $weather->get_location();
$image = $icons->get_sky_image();
$data = $weather->decode_metar();
$temp = $data[temperature];
$windvar = $data[wind]; <-----This Doesn't Work
$cloudvar = $data[clouds]; <-----This Doesn't Work
$time = date("m/d/y g:i a",($data[time]));
$weathervar = $data[weather];
echo "\n";
echo "<div align='center'>
Portland, Oregon<br />
<img src=\"$image\" height='45' width='75' border='0' alt='Current Sky' />";
echo "<br />$weathervar[condition]<br />
</div>";
echo "<b>Temperature:</b> $temp[temp_f]°F<br />";
echo "<b>Humidity:</b> $data[rel_humidity]%<br />";
echo "<b>Wind:</b> $windvar[miles_per_hour]mph<br />
<div align='center'>$time</div>
";
Thank you,
Dan Martin

Hi Martin, and everyone else: I'm sorry, I've gotten lazy about reading my mailing lists lately. I actually went back to version 1.62 since I couldn't get version 2 working right for me. I'll take a look at your write up and if I still have problems I'll be patient and post them here. Thanks for your help, I really like this app :) -Pedro On Thu, May 01, 2003 at 12:35:26AM +0200, Martin Geisler wrote: > Pedro Leitao <li...@le...> writes: > > > Ohh, one more thing.. the other problem I'm seeing is that data will > > not update.

Hey Guys, I'm actually using PHPWeather 1.62 at http://www.stpatrickhighschool.org/we= ather, you can see it intergrated into PostNuke at http://www.stpatrickhighschool.= org. I still have to change the background colors on the sky images. I was trying to do the same with version 2.1.2, but I couldn't get it working right, I'm= not good with php. I've just gotten around to reading my mailing lists and Mart= in sent me a write up on version 2.1.2, so I'll give that a try. If you want to do something similar to what I have done, the html code is at the bottom. I'm really sorry for being lazy and not putting line breaks on the code, bu= t that's the actual index.php that I run from a cron which directs it's output to a = flat html file which I then include in the PostNuke page. I did this because for= some reason the straight php file wouldn't display right and if the flat html pa= ge had any line breaks in it, it would display those as line breaks in the html ma= king it very ugly... it's retarted, I know, but I got it working that way :) If I get version 2.1.2 to work the same way, then I'll send the html code f= or that. Take this into an editor and insert line breaks, this is using version 1.62= and=20 a flat cache page. <html><head><style type=3D"text/css">("/themes/PostNuke/style/style.css"); = </style></head><body><?php include('/home/www/stpatrickhighschool/htdocs/we= ather/images.inc'); include('/home/www/stpatrickhighschool/htdocs/weather/l= ocale_en.inc'); include('/home/www/stpatrickhighschool/htdocs/weather/phpwe= ather.inc'); $metar =3D get_metar('KEWR'); $decoded_metar =3D process_metar= ($metar); $data =3D process_metar($metar); $temp =3D $data['temp_f']; $minu= tes_old =3D round((time() - $data['time'])/60); ?> <table width=3D"190" bor= der=3D"0" cellspacing=3D"0" cellpadding=3D"0"> <tr> <td><div align=3D"cente= r"><font size=3D"2"><strong>Elizabeth, New Jersey</strong></font></div></td= > </tr> <tr> <td><table width=3D"100%" border=3D"0" align=3D"center" cellpa= dding=3D"0" cellspacing=3D"0"> <tr> <td width=3D"44%" height=3D"40" rowspan= =3D"4" align=3D"center" valign=3D"top"> <br> <img src=3D"/weather/<?php get= _sky_image($decoded_metar) ?>" height=3D"45" width=3D"75" border=3D"0" alt= =3D"Current Sky"><br><?php echo "$data[cloud_layer1_condition]";?> </td> <t= d width=3D"10%" rowspan=3D"4"> </td> <td width=3D"31%" height=3D"19" a= lign=3D"right" valign=3D"bottom"> </td> <td width=3D"15%" valign=3D"m= iddle"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td height=3D"1" align=3D"right" valign=3D"mi= ddle"><font size=3D"5"><strong><?php echo "$temp°F"; ?></strong></font>= </td> <td width=3D"15%" rowspan=3D"3" align=3D"right" valign=3D"top"><img = src=3D"/weather/<?php get_temp_image($decoded_metar) ?>" height=3D"50" widt= h=3D"20" border=3D"0" alt=3D"Current Temperature"></td> </tr> <tr> <td alig= n=3D"right" valign=3D"bottom"><strong><font size=3D"2"><?php echo "$data[te= mp_c]°C";?></font></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align=3D"right" valign= =3D"top"><font size=3D"4"><strong> </strong></font></td> </tr> </table= ></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div align=3D"center"></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td alig= n=3D"center" valign=3D"top"><br> <table width=3D"100%" height=3D"130" borde= r=3D"0" align=3D"center" cellpadding=3D"0" cellspacing=3D"0"> <tr> <td widt= h=3D"64" height=3D"20" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font size=3D"2"> = ;Humidity:</font></td> <td width=3D"10" height=3D"20" align=3D"left" valign= =3D"top"> </td> <td width=3D"109" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font = size=3D"2"><?php echo "$data[rel_humidity]%";?></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td = align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font size=3D"2"> Wind:</font></td> <td = height=3D"28" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"> </td> <td height=3D"28" a= lign=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font size=3D"2"><?php echo "From the $data[wi= nd_dir_text] at $data[wind_miles_per_hour] mph";?></font></td> </tr> <tr> <= td align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font size=3D"2"> Windchill:</font></= td> <td height=3D"20" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"> </td> <td height= =3D"20" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font size=3D"2"><?php echo "$data[wi= ndchill_f]°F";?></font></td> </tr> <tr align=3D"center" valign=3D"middl= e"> <td align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font size=3D"2"> Pressure:</fon= t></td> <td height=3D"20" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"> </td> <td hei= ght=3D"20" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font size=3D"2"><?php echo "$data= [altimeter_inhg] inches";?></font></td> </tr> <tr align=3D"center" valign= =3D"middle"> <td height=3D"20" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font size=3D"= 2"> Visibility:</font></td> <td height=3D"20" align=3D"left" valign=3D= "top"> </td> <td height=3D"20" align=3D"left" valign=3D"top"><font siz= e=3D"2"><?php echo "$data[visibility_miles] miles";?></font></td> </tr> <tr= align=3D"center" valign=3D"middle"> <td height=3D"22" colspan=3D"4"><font = size=3D"1">As of </font><font size=3D"1"><?php echo "$minutes_old";?> minut= es ago</font></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table></body></html> Here's the cache file; /tmp/weather-cache.xml <?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8" ?> <metardata> <cache station=3D"KEWR" metar=3D"KEWR 121351Z 14005KT 1SM HZ OVC009= 16/13 A2956 RMK AO2 SFC VIS 5 CIG 008V015 SLP008 T01610133" timestamp=3D"1= 052747460" /> </metardata> -Pedro On Thu, May 08, 2003 at 09:52:38PM +0200, Martin Geisler wrote: > Dan Martin <da...@da...> writes: >=20 > Hi Dan >=20 > > I initially tried utilizing PHP Weather 2.1.2 and I can get things > > to work. >=20 > Good, that's always nice to hear! :-) >=20 > > But I do not like the format of pretty print.

But there's a perfectly natural explaination :-) I bet you're seeing a directory listing like this: Index of /icons Name Last modified Size Description Parent Directory 18-Aug-2001 15:21 - a.gif 22-Feb-1996 12:45 1k a.png 30-May-2001 09:47 1k alert.black.gif 22-Feb-1996 12:45 1k alert.black.png 30-May-2001 09:47 1k alert.red.gif 22-Feb-1996 12:45 1k alert.red.png 30-May-2001 09:47 1k ... This comes from the default Apache configuration which has this line: Alias /icons/ /usr/share/apache/icons/ It's these icons that are used when Apache makes directory listings. I suggest that you put the icons for PhpWeather in another directory, or that you don't move them at all. -- Martin Geisler My GnuPG Key: 0xF7F6B57B See http://gimpster.com/ and http://phpweather.net/ for: PHP Weather: Shows the current weather on your webpage and PHP Shell: A telnet-connection (almost :-) in a PHP page.

I just downloaded phpweather and installed it on my windows machine running apache. I set up a virtual host in httpd.conf resolving to phpweather directory. When I generate a report, icons are missing on the page, even though the source generated has what looks like a corretn path to the icons. The config file lists 'icons/' as the icons directory. When I use windows explorer to look in the phpweather/icons directory, all of the icons are there. But when I browse that directory through the webserver, I get all these weird non-phpweather files...WTF!? It's almost like there's a symlink or something...though nothing like that has been set up for this directory/vhost (not that I even could on windows) Can anyone help me figure out what's going on!?

I have something along the same lines on http://www.nottingham.uk.net I worked out the variables with a little experimentation and code reading. If you want the code let me know and I'll mail it to you. The next bit (when I get time to sit down and finish it) is a thermometer that changes with the temperature... just need to sort out the graphics. -- Geoff Smith <ge...@fo...> "Step aside everyone!

I just untarred the latest tarball, pointed my browser there and went to the configuration screen. I showed the first set of options and chose them accordingly. However, when I hit update options, I just get a blank page. Then, trying to go back gives me a blank page as well. Can anyone give me an idea what is wrong and how to fix it? Using PHP 4.3.1.

I initially tried utilizing PHP Weather 2.1.2 and I can get things to work. But I do not like the format of pretty print. I want a format similar to what Pedro Leitao has at http://www.stpatrickhighschool.org/weather/ , but I cannot seem to pull the variables needed to do so. I am using 1.62, however it only work some of the time. Most of the time it cannot pull the data. Would it be better to pull it into MySQL using a hourly crontab, and query from there? As you can probably tell I am not too proficient at PHP. I would appreciate any help. Thank you, Dan Martin |

Aron, do you get any errors about "could not find file xyz for include" or whatever (i'm getting rusty - i can't remember exactly what it'll say) What exactly do you mean by "i had to obviously preview the file."

I think you're the first who has seen this error --- it's supposed to be something that cannot happen... The error says that the 'new' call in line 52 has failed because there's no class definition of pw_db_null. The definition is stored in the file included in line 51, so it really should work: include_once(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR .

It is supposed to return the path to the installation directory of PhpWeather. If it doesn't return the right path, then try with realpath(dirname(__FILE__)). The realpath() function resolves symbolic links and '/../' constructs. In short, just make a file with <?php echo dirname(__FILE__) . "\n"; echo realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) .

I don't know if this list is active or not, but here goes...
I've been using phpweather for a while, actually version 1.62.
I'm now playing with version 2.1.2 using MySQL. I'm not very
familiar with php, but I was able to get version 1.62 working.
I actually found some examples, so that made it easier.
I used to run this from a php page;
<?php
include('weather/images.inc');
include('weather/locale_en.inc');
include('weather/phpweather.inc');
$metar = get_metar('KEWR');
$decoded_metar = process_metar($metar);
$data = process_metar($metar);
$temp = $data['temp_f'];
$minutes_old = round((time() - $data['time'])/60);
?>
Then print out the results;
<?php get_sky_image($decoded_metar) ?>
<?php echo "$data[cloud_layer1_condition]";?>
<?php get_temp_image($decoded_metar) ?>
<?php echo "$temp°F"; ?>
<?php echo "$data[temp_c]°C";?>
<?php echo "$data[rel_humidity]%";?>
<?php echo "$data[visibility_miles] miles";?>
<?php echo "$data[wind_miles_per_hour] mph from $data[wind_dir_text]";?>
<?php echo "$data[windchill_f]°F";?>
<?php echo "$minutes_old";?>
I noticed that some variables and array names have changed, and possibly
the way to call them. I've got a couple of things working like temperature
and wind speed, but what I'm looking for is the same results I used to get.
I used <?php print_r($data); ?> to display all the data in this array, but
what I'm really looking for is a way to print out each detail in the METAR
seperately, like I used to do.
Thanks in advance,
-Pedro

Since you don't know what a "tarball" is, then you should probably use a zipfile instead (a tarball is much the same as a zipfile, it just don't use the zip program). Download the zipfile and unpack it: http://makeashorterlink.com/?Z47213744 You then upload all the files to your webserver, put them in a new directory called "phpweather" or something like that. You should then be able to load the index.php file (in the new directory) from your server. If you have access to a database, then you can configure PHP Weather to use this to speed things up, but it isn't mandatory. -- Martin Geisler My GnuPG Key: 0xF7F6B57B See http://gimpster.com/ and http://phpweather.net/ for: PHP Weather: Shows the current weather on your webpage and PHP Shell: A telnet-connection (almost :-) in a PHP page.

I am a little new to this system. I have created a weather site, but was looking for something that could collect data for free, but everyone wanted to charge me. I knew that that wasn't right, and that there had to be software available for free, to collect weather conditions for all over the world. I need a little help has stated i am a newbie to this, so please bare with me. I have windows xp home edition and don't have a personal webserver, only a website. I need some easy to understand instructions on how to put the right files onto my website's server. I don't understand what unter the tarball means? do i have to upload every file that i have download to my website's server? and how do i create a page to bring up the weather information for this? your replay and help would be highly appreciated.

First, you have to decide where you would like to show it, and if you
want to show the big text report. When you've found the right spot in
your HTML code, then it's mostly a matter of inserting PHP code like
this:
<?php
require('path/to/phpweather.php');
require(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . 'pw_utilities.php');
require(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . '/output/pw_text_en.php');
include(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . '/output/pw_images.php');
$weather = new phpweather();
$text = new pw_text_en($weather);
$icons = new pw_images($weather);
echo "<blockquote>\n";
$text->print_pretty()
echo "</blockquote>\n";
echo "<p>The matching icons are:</p>\n";
echo "<blockquote>\n" .
'<img src="' . $icons->get_sky_image() .
'" height="50" width="80" border="1" alt="Current weather in ' .
$weather->get_location() . '" /> ' .
'<img src="' . $icons->get_winddir_image() .
'" height="40" width="40" border="1" alt="Current wind in ' .
$weather->get_location() . '" /> ' .
'<img src="' . $icons->get_temp_image() .
'" height="50" width="20" border="1" alt="Current temperature in ' .
$weather->get_location() . '" />' .
"\n</blockquote>\n";
?>
The basic idea is, that you first tell PHP that you require some
PhpWeather files, then you create your $weather object. This can give
you the name of the station with $weather->get_location() and it's
used to create a $text and an $icons object. The $text object will
give you the big text report when you call the print_pretty() method:
$text->print_pretty();
In the above code I've wrapped the report in <blockquote> tags, adjust
as needed. The $icons object will give you three URLs:
$icons->get_sky_image(), $icons->get_winddir_image(), and
$icons->$icons->get_temp_image(). These URLs are used in <img> tags
$icons->$icons->as
you would expect.
If you want the more complex setup with forms for choosing countries,
languages etc, then take another look at index.php. It collects output
in the $output variable and finally prints it out when everything's
ready. You'll probably want to skip the first part that adds to
$output and then adjust the part that starts after if (!empty($icao)).

Great, then we know that PhpWeather works at your site.

Hehe, I don't think this should be that difficult :-) Since your file
contains just the one METAR for your local airport, then I think the
easiest way would be to change get_metar_file() in data_retrieval.php
to this
function get_metar_file($icao) {
if ($icao == 'SNRV') {
return file('full/pathname/to/your/metar.txt');
} else {
$host = 'weather.noaa.gov';
$location = "/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/$icao.TXT";
return @file('http://' . $host . $location);
}
}
That should implement an override so that the METAR for SNRV will be
fetched from the local file somewhere on your filesystem, and the rest
will still be fetched from the NWS. The rest of the logic with caching
should still work, as far as I can see...
