bug in 2.2.0 ?

[Phil P. <phi...@sw...>]

I've just downloaded 2.2.0
Unpacked it on my web server
Configured it through the configuration webpage

HTTP to index.php
Select country
Select Airport/ICAO
Click SUBMIT

returns back to the default form - no METAR data displayed.

Turned on Warnings as well as errors.
No warnings/errors displayed.

Ran the test program, no problem.
Ran the 'speed test' program, no problem (though, obviously slow, as I'm 
not using a database).

I added the following lines into the output, for debugging.
(after echo output)

  	echo "<br>Here's the RAW output data<br><pre>\n";
	print_r($data);
	echo "</pre>\n";


NO data displayed.

I added many and various 'debug comment' lines in odd places, appended 
to $output.

It *always* and *for every country/ICAO* says "ICAO was invalid".

if ($icao != '') {
	$output .= "<br>we got an ICAO<br>\n";
   $weather->set_icao($icao);
   /* icao was passed, we resolve country code */
   $cc_temp = $weather->get_country_code();
   if ($cc_temp === false) {
     /* turn icao off, it is not valid */
     $icao = '';
     $output .= "<br>ICAO was invalid<br>\n";
   } else {
     /* use resolved country code */
     $cc = $cc_temp;
   }
}

Thanks,
Phil P

Other Questions/Issues with 2.2.0

[Phil P. <phi...@sw...>]

I tried configuring PHPWeather to use MySQL (which I'm using quite 
happily for a variety of things).

PHPWeather refused to create the tables.

Of course, there's zero debug output (sigh).

My access to MySQL is 'localhost' (hosted by my ISP, as-is, no other 
options), and so I'm wondering if your script assumes/requires access 
via IP (ie refuses to use the local/unix socket access method).


Also:

I futz'd with your index.php and FORCED the $cc to 'AU', so it now 
downloads and decodes a METAR. Obviously there's something wrong 
somewhere (incorrect setup/missing file/permission??) but this lets me 
continue trying working on things.

I'm in Sydney, Australia.

A METAR that I decoded just now says "a moment ago, at 03:14 UTC".
Localtime 10:45am being GMT+10+1, so 03:14 UCT is not "a moment ago" 
(It's either 20 hours [and change] ago, or a little under 4 hours in the 
future).


Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Phil P

Re: bug in 2.2.0 ?

[Phil P. <phi...@sw...>]

I printed it out, it's empty.
(ie enclosed in single quotes, prints out consecutive single quotes)

[ugh]

Yeah, the last 1.?? version (I have no idea which, it was a while ago) I 
played with worked fine. 2.2 comes with TAF decoding, so I thought I'd 
play with that. Unfortunately, either it's broken or I've not 
uploaded/installed it correctly.

Thanks,
Phil P

Report Time in 2.2.0?

[Phil P. <phi...@sw...>]

mmm , time passes, Sydney issues a new METAR report.

The time displayed from PHPweather hasn't changed, (ie still showing 
'The report was made a moment ago, at 03:14 UTC. ') even though the raw 
METAR data says 030000Z, and the other data in the displayed report are 
updated.

I'd be interested to hear someone explain why the text display of the 
time of the report bears no relationship to the reality of the actual 
METAR timestamp, and how/where in the code I can fix that.

Thanks,
Phil P

Re: Report Time in 2.2.0?

[Phil P. <phi...@sw...>]

After a little searching, I found where the 'decode the time from the 
METAR data' was *commented out* from decode_metar(). UnCommenting it 
returned the time decoded from the METAR itself.

I'd still be interested to learn where (else/oherwise) it was getting 
time from, and why it was done that way. (I'm new to this, so maybe 
there's a good reason for it?)

Thanks,
PhilP
