Looks like www.ndbc.noaa.gov switched to mandatory https access, and the V1.18 script was http-only.

The V1.19 script now uses curl for the access via https and has a couple of minor fixes for PHP7+

Download from the script page

Thanks to Bob from http://www.ka5zci.com/ for the heads-up!

Best regards,
Ken

Thanks, Ken. The revised script seems to be working well.

I posted over at Cumulus forums too about this.

I have just checked my Apache Error logs and it is full (100's) of these type of entries:

Code: [Select]
[Wed Jun 27 21:51:41.568967 2018] [php7:notice] [pid 30454:tid 140246979712768] [client x.x.x.x:50472] PHP Notice:  Undefined offset: 0 in /share/htdocs/weather/buoy-data.php on line 355

is this an error or just a warning that can be ignored?

also line 861

Code: [Select]
global $seenBuoy,$Buoys,$Units,$NDBCURL,$myUOM,$table,$scroller,$CSS,$skipNoData,$windArrowDir,$showNoData,$windArrowSize;
;

2 semi-colons one after another, is that correct?

Hmmm... that error is a failure to find the raw buoy data based on
Code: [Select]
preg_match_all('|<p class="red"><strong>(.*)</pre>|si',$html,$betweenspan);
 
 //$Status .= "<!-- betweenspan \n" . print_r($betweenspan,true) . " -->\n";
 
 $buoyrawdata = $betweenspan[1][0]; 
  (the last line is 355)
Can you attach the NDBC-buoydata.txt so I can take a look?

The line 1119 is
Code: [Select]
     list($Left,$Top,$Right,$Bottom) = explode(",",$Coords);
and that's based on parsing the buoy config file.. can you attach your mybuoy-UK.txt (or the buoy config file if differently named)?

also line 861

Code: [Select]
global $seenBuoy,$Buoys,$Units,$NDBCURL,$myUOM,$table,$scroller,$CSS,$skipNoData,$windArrowDir,$showNoData,$windArrowSize;
;

2 semi-colons one after another, is that correct?
Umm.. no, that's a non-harmful typo.  Just one semi-colon is needed, but a null PHP statement is not harmful in any case any more than whitespace.

here you go.

btw Apache 2.4.33 and PHP 7.2.7 if that helps.

I replicated the issue with the Notice errata for line 1119 .. it's caused by an entry in mybuoy-United_Kingdom.txt
Code: [Select]
62001|Gascogne Buoy|| which has no coordinates listed .. either add coordinates to that line, or comment it out like
Code: [Select]
#62001|Gascogne Buoy||
and that will suppress the Notice errata.

I was unable to replicate the line 355 Notice errata using your NDBC-buoydataM.txt file :(
The file did have the string looked for by the preg_match, and so it should have found the data accordingly.
Is this error persistent?

Best regards,
Ken

Thanks for the fault finding Ken. the 355 error only appeared as a result of the updated files along with the 1119 line too. I had not touched the mybuoy-United_Kingdom.txt in a few years.

Anyway all sorted now. will try getting back to a new uk map as the old one has quite a few obsolete buoys and oil/gas platforms.

ndbc has listed the uk buoys here https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/mobile/region.php?reg=united_kingdom  for anyone needing an upto date list.
