configured, now what?

[Joel <jdl...@ei...>]

I ran make_config.php and created defaults.php, and ran make_db.php and 
verified the tables were created properly. How do I print out the pretty 
output?

In my old (1.58) version, I put this in a php file and it worked fine 
(albeit slowly):

include('phpweather/locale_en.inc');
include('phpweather/phpweather.inc');
$metar = get_metar('KMIC');
$data = process_metar($metar);
$temp_c = $data['temp_c'];
$temp_f = $data['temp_f'];
echo "<h3>The temperature is $temp_f degrees F at Crystal Airport</h3>";

pretty_print_metar($metar, 'Crystal Airport, MN');

With 2.2.1, I tried:

include ('./phpweather.php');
$weather = new phpweather();
$data = $weather->decode_metar();
 echo "<p>\n" . $weather->print_pretty() . "</p>\n";
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>\n";

The raw data prints out ok, but if I use print_pretty() (which I saw in 
test.php) I get
*Fatal error*: Call to undefined function: print_pretty() in 
*/opt/apache/share/htdocs/phpweather-2.2.1/kmic.php* on line *6

*I know I'm missing something obvious, but I've been through the docs 
and couldn't find an example (except for the raw printout).

Thanks,
Joel

That's almost correct --- PhpWeather 2.x seperates the output
functionality from the METAR parsing functionality.  You must
therefore make an object to make the output:

  require_once(PHPWEATHER_BASE_DIR . '/output/pw_text_en.php');
  $text = new pw_text_en($weather);
  $text->print_pretty();

That should do the trick.

Yep, got that after more scowling at test.php. I suspect I can figure 
out the icons with a little more scrutiny. As a suggestion, you may want 
to include a quick example.php (say) in the package that shows the 
proper includes and code to use to print the data from your defaults.php 
settings. test.php was a little confusing to me with getting the $metar 
from the form instead of defaults.php, etc. But, maybe that's just me.

Thanks for your quick reply,
Joel
