I have installed and configured PHPWeather, but am having problems actually
getting it to work on my blog. I am fairly new to PHP and MySQL, although
I've been able to teach myself enough to figure most things out. But for
some reason I cannot figure out how to call the weather information into my
blog. I tried using:
<?php
include('phpweather.inc');
include('locale_en.inc');
$metar = get_metar('KOMA');
$data = process_metar($metar);
$temp_c = $data['temp_c'];
$temp_f = $data['temp_f'];
echo "<p>The temperature is $temp_c degrees Celsius ($temp_f degrees
Fahrenheit).</p>";
?>
I cannot see where I have a filed named "phpweather.inc" or "locale_en.inc"
Can anyone clue me in as to what I did wrong? The documentation isn't very
user friendly for us newbies. ;-)
Thanks,
Jenni

A couple of clarifications. I'm using v2.21 of PHPWeather and cannot find
what code I need to place in my blog to pull the weather info in.
This is my second request for h*lp. Can someone please respond?
Thanks,
Jenni

Jenni,
almost there.
<?php
require('phpweather.php');
$weather = new phpweather();
$weather->set_icao("KOMA");
$foo = $weather->decode_metar();
$temp_c = $foo['temperature']['temp_c'];
$temp_f = $foo['temperature']['temp_f'];
echo "<p>The temperature is $temp_c degrees Celsius ($temp_f degrees
Fahrenheit).</p>";
?>
If this script isn't in the same place as the phpweather install, you'll
need to modify the first line accordingly.
Incidentally, we're all busy people doing other things, so don't be suprised
if a reply takes a day or two.
Cheers,
Max

I was just frustrated by not being able to get it running. I wish there was a forum or something so we could get a little more help. Although I suppose the product was written for people with more knowledge of PHP and SQL than myself. Thanks again! -Jenni |

Max,
Could I ask one more question? I'm trying to add other tags and my current
code looks like this:
<?php
require('/home/xxx/public_html/weather/phpweather.php');
$weather = new phpweather();
$weather->set_icao("KOMA");
$foo = $weather->decode_metar();
$temp_c = $foo['temperature']['temp_c'];
$temp_f = $foo['temperature']['temp_f'];
$miles_per_hour = $foo['wind']['miles_per_hour'];
echo "Temp: $temp_f ° Fahrenheit<br>";
?>
echo "Wind: $miles_per_hour MPH";
?>
But I cannot get the wind speed to show up. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I
thought you could just plug in the other tags you want and Presto!
Thanks,
Jenni

Hi Jenni, You've closed the PHP ?> twice... > echo "Temp: $temp_f ° Fahrenheit<br>"; > ?> > echo "Wind: $miles_per_hour MPH"; > ?> > get rid of the first one of those ?>'s Cheers, Max -- Actions are the seeds of Fate. Deeds grow into Destiny. *A.L. Linall, Jr. |
