Thank you Martin. I guess it's just because I'm not all that familiar with
PHP yet. I am looking at the documentation that came with my v2.x download
and I've managed to figure out how to call in the temp and wind speed, but
am having problems with things like visibility and cloud cover, etc. Is
there any way to use a "shortcut" and call in all the variables?

Thanks,
Jenni

If you want a "shortcut" you should use the methods in
output/pw_text.php.  It has methods like print_pretty(),
print_pretty_visibility(), print_pretty_clouds().  It will even be in
the language you set.  Look at the index.php file, it has all the
necessary steps.  For your needs, I would put in
print_pretty_visibility() and not print_pretty(), which is what the main
page of phpweather uses.

sure... this is the way that PHPweather was really designed to be used. 

<?php

// first of all, set up the decoder
require('phpweather.php');
$weather = new phpweather();
$weather->set_icao("KOMA");

// next, the text parsing
require('output/pw_text_en.php');
$text = new pw_text_en($weather);
echo $text->print_pretty();

echo '<br />';

// now, images
require('output/pw_images.php');
$icons = new pw_images($weather);
echo '<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() .' />';


?>

errr bad HTML on my part.


<?php

require('phpweather.php');
$weather = new phpweather();
$weather->set_icao("KOMA");

// next, the text parsing
require('output/pw_text_en.php');
$text = new pw_text_en($weather);
echo $text->print_pretty();

echo '<br />';

// now, images
require('output/pw_images.php');
$icons = new pw_images($weather);
echo '<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 ' .

          '<img src="' . $icons->get_temp_image() .'" />';
?>

is better :)

Re: Using PHPWeather question

[Daisyhead <je...@da...>]

I don't think I'm explaining myself very clear on what I want my weather to
look like. I want a simple list, without the whole paragraph text. Something
that look like this:


Temp:
Feels like:
Conditions:
Wind:
Humidity:
Dewpoint:
Pressure:
Visibility:


And this is the code I"m trying to tweak to get the information to be listed
as above:

<?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'];
$dew_point = $foo['dew-point']['dew_point'];
$visibility_less_than = $foo['visibility']['visibility_less_than'];
$feelslike = $foo['feelslike']['feelslike'];
$weather = $foo['weather']['weather'];
$rel_humidity = $foo['rel_humidity']['rel_humidity'];
$altimeter = $foo['altimeter']['altimeter'];

echo "Temp: $temp_f &deg; Fahrenheit<br>";
echo "Feels like: $feelslike<br>";
echo "Conditions: $weather<br>";
echo "Wind: $miles_per_hour MPH<br>";
echo "Humidity: $rel_humidity %<br>";
echo "Dewpoint: $dew_point<br>";
echo "Pressure: $altimeter<br>";
echo "Visibility: $visibility_less_than";
?>


Is there any way to list out the output instead of having it in paragraph
format?

Thank you,
Jenni

If you want a simple key/value output similar to Nepto.SK [1], I can
post an appropriate code here, however it is nothing special.

I do not understand this.

What you have in your current weather box is EXACTLY what I was looking
for. I wanted something in "list" form instead of the big old
paragraph output that comes by default.

Do you have the code available so it will look like what is in your
current weather box?

Thank you SOOO much!

Well, I understand. Actually, to create paragraph with reasonable
sentences is much more sophisticated and difficult work, than simple
list of key/values. At least in my native Slovak language. :-)

The code is in the attachement. It will certainly not work for you at
the first time. It has to be used rather as an inspiration. It is plugin
for my personal Nepto.SK website, what has currently over 1500 files.
I will not post all of these files.

Of course, some well-known phpWeather files are included. Also some
library files may be required (at least Platon.php). It is part of our
Platon SDG [1] basic PHP framework [2] and can be found in our CVS
repository accesible via CVSweb [3].

Let me know if you need more information or there will be some problems.

Re: Using PHPWeather question

[Daisyhead <je...@da...>]

Okay, so what if I just want a simple list of certain things? This is the
code I have, but the only things pulling info are the temp, wind and
humidity fields. Can I do something like below and still have it pull all
the info I want?

<?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'];
$dew_point = $foo['dew-point']['dew_point'];
$visibility_less_than = $foo['visibility']['visibility_less_than'];
$feelslike = $foo['feelslike']['feelslike'];
$weather = $foo['weather']['weather'];
$rel_humidity = $foo['rel_humidity']['rel_humidity'];
$altimeter = $foo['altimeter']['altimeter'];

echo "Temp: $temp_f &deg; Fahrenheit<br>";
echo "Feels like: $feelslike<br>";
echo "Conditions: $weather<br>";
echo "Wind: $miles_per_hour MPH<br>";
echo "Humidity: $rel_humidity %<br>";
echo "Dewpoint: $dew_point<br>";
echo "Pressure: $altimeter<br>";
echo "Visibility: $visibility_less_than";
?>

Thanks,
Jenni
