phpWeather

It seems the phpWeather module is having problems with the humidity and pow functions?

The error:
Warning: Invalid argument(s) passed to pow() in /Users/sites/js.westcentralwisconsin.net/phpwebsite_en/mod/phpweather/phpweather.inc on line 585
(and each line below)

Is generated from these lines:

$decoded_metar['rel_humidity'] = number_format(100 *
    (
     610.710701 +
     44.4293573 * $decoded_metar['dew_c'] +
     1.41696846 * pow($decoded_metar['dew_c'], 2) +
     0.0274759545 * pow($decoded_metar['dew_c'], 3) +
     2.61145937E-4 * pow($decoded_metar['dew_c'], 4) +
     2.85993708E-6 * pow($decoded_metar['dew_c'], 5)
     )

     2.85993708E-6 * pow($decoded_metar['temp_c'], 5)
     ), 1);
           
Any ideas? The new version of phpweather is different from the module.

Thanks!

okay, i have an idea what is going on.  In my version of php the array variable is not passing as an integer because the pow() function is expecting a number.  I have no idea how to change this because I thought php loosely declared  variables.  I'll be back. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

okay, i think i fixed it.  i changed it by adding (float) before the $decoded_metar variable. I have no idea if this is really calculating the correct humidity :-).  If you are a weather person, see it at http://js.westcentralwisconsin.net and let me know.

  $decoded_metar['rel_humidity'] = number_format(100 *
    (
     610.710701 +
     44.4293573 * $decoded_metar['dew_c'] +
     1.41696a846 * pow((float)$decoded_metar['dew_c'], intval(2)) +
     0.0274759545 * pow((float)$decoded_metar['dew_c'], 3) +
     2.61145937E-4 * pow((float)$decoded_metar['dew_c'], 4) +
     2.85993708E-6 * pow((float)$decoded_metar['dew_c'], 5)
     )
    /
    (
     610.710701 +
     44.4293573 * $decoded_metar['temp_c'] +
     1.41696846 * pow((float)$decoded_metar['temp_c'], 2) +
     0.0274759545 * pow((float)$decoded_metar['temp_c'], 3) +
     2.61145937E-4 * pow((float)$decoded_metar['temp_c'], 4) +
     2.85993708E-6 * pow((float)$decoded_metar['temp_c'], 5)
     ), 1);
                    
  return $decoded_metar;

And you're asking us for help? (shaking head in presence of superior geekiness)

I enjoy figuring things out but being a "geekmom" and having 3 kids always yakking it's difficult to get anything done. So, I ask first, hoping that someone has come across it while trying to figure it out and then I post what I find, hoping that it will help someone else later.

Just curious - Where can I get  an updated php weather module?? 

[Paivi]

the original phpweather is at http://gimpster.com. the phpws module can be found at my site (http://phpgirl.com). that is the latest one available as far as i know. the changes from the original phpws module are the install/uninstall and $table_prefix support.

I was working on a new version for this module but i cannot get it (it being the latest from gimpster.com) to update the database or an xml file. so its shelved for now :)
