I used to have a Today page but dropped it a while back because most of the data was really old.  Is there a link to the one you use on your pages with the search form?  I'd like to give it a look if you don't mind.

I wasn't very clear on that, sorry Joe.  I found your page, but was taking you up on your offer ... you said "It's available to any personal weather station site that wants to use it."  Is it available for download?

Sorry all, but there was a parsing error for the daily rain in the daily summary section.  I have that fixed now and have also added the option to omit cloud conditions from the tabular listing for those who don't wish to display those two columns.

I also updated all the .css files to include Ken True's idea to isolate all the styles that the script uses.  If you're having any issues along those lines you may want to update that too.

Everything has been updated in the .zip file at http://jcweather.us/scripts.php?mitem=130

Thanks.  - Jim

I'm sorry, the parsing error was in the WU-History.php file.  I'd standby though because I'm working up a couple other small fixes that I hope to have done soon.

I fixed a few more things ... I guess these things are never done.  Here's the current status of WU-History.php:

Version 1.0 February 18, 2008
        1.1 February 19, 2008 - Fixed a broken link to WU & added optional selection of other stations
        1.2 February 20, 2008 - Fixed an obscure link bug dealing with the new "other station" option
        1.3 February 22, 2008 - Added option to omit cloud conditions from tabular listing.  Fixed solar & rain issue in the summary section
        1.4 February 22, 2008 - Suppressed Solar & UV graphs in monthly & longer modes. Suppressed current conditions in the summary except when viewing the current day

The .zip download is current.

Thanks.  - Jim

Sorry for all the changes, but we're adding some nice features along with fixing my knuckleheaded mistakes.  A new WU-History.php:

//        1.5 February 23, 2008 - Fixed precip error when viewing previous individual days.  Added optional top link in header to return to "today" when off somewhere else.

The .zip file has been updated.

Can you copy and paste the settings between:

Code: [Select]
//settings ----------------------------- */
and

Code: [Select]
// end of settings
//------------------------------------------------

from one version to the next?

No, but perhaps take them in groups of 5 or so until you see where I've added something.  I was trying to keep things in some sort of logical order so they'd be easier to find.

Jim,

Was working on this last night and had some problems. First, had problems reading the page with the install instructions. Menus or whatever, were overlaping, covering the text.

In short, what, exactly needs to be done to include this script into a standard HTML page?
I looked at other PHP scripts I have included in standard HTML pages and this one doesn't seem to want to follow the same include rules.

Thanks.


Bob

Bob,

Do you mean that my scripts page is what you were having trouble reading?  If so, I wonder what that could be.

Anyway, you'll need to rename your .html page to .php so PHP will parse and process it.  Then within the <head> portion of the page add

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./WU-History.css" />

and in the body of the page add

<php
    include("WU-History.php");
?>

and that should be it unless you need to adjust paths to where those files are located.  Is that what you're asking?

Thanks.  - Jim

Sorry Bob, that's because I have a stupid typo on my page.  :oops:

Should be <?php instead of <php

No problem Jim. Yeah, that made a difference. Working much better now.  =D&gt;
Now, just gotta figure out how to tweak it.

Thanks

Jim:

I downloaded Version 1.4 a day or two after you posted it and placed it on my server. (I already had the previous version running).

Just now I was looking at my precip on previous days, and I noticed that it shows 0 precip even on days in which it rained (and the "rainfall rate" graph shows precip, too). I thought this was a bug that you corrected. Or am I seeing a different issue?

If you happen to go to my site, click "Graphs" and look at Feb 17 or March 3, for example. I actually rec'd 0.42 inches on Feb 17.

Thanks, Jim!

Kevin...


EDIT:  Oops! Was this bug was fixed after Version 1.4? I'll give 1.6 a try.

That fixed it! Sorry folks. Just got over the flu ... bad mojo.

I've updated this script again, now to version 2.3.  This puts a better fix on the average wind problem (thanks to Paul Gogan for that) and adds a variable so we can turn this off if/when Wunderground fixes the problem.

Paul discovered that they were sending that figure in mph whether you were receiving data in english or metric.  I put a ticket in, but haven't heard back yet and am tired of waiting.  I'll get the word out if they ever fix that and we'll turn that variable to false.

This will affect those who receive the data in metric format which seems to be most everyone outside the US.  The new variable is at the top of the list, so be careful to not overwrite it when transferring your settings over.   Download the .zip here

Thanks.  - Jim

New script update to Version 2.4 available at http://jcweather.us/scripts.php

Changed a column heading that was mis-labeled cm when it should have been mm (when units "both" was selected).

Noticed that Wunderground added solar, so the script will now optionally show that in the daily mode tabular data.

Please let me know if you have any problems.

Jim,

Unfortunately, I can't get the data to come across.
1) I'm using the latest revision 2.4
2) Initially, I was getting error codes till I changed the server settings to PHP 5 (from PHP 4)
3) If I put basic php code... echo 3+2; in the TestHistory.php, I'll get the result (PHP is working)
4) If I put the same basic code in the first line of WU-History.php, I'll get the result (WU-History.php is working)

other than that it's a big nothing.  I really like the work you've done, I hope I can get this working.
If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks in advance
Paul

Wunderground is having some issues today, so you might check and see if those are related to some of your problems.

Paul,

First I've heard of anything like that.  I can see where if Wunderground doesn't serve up the csv file, it would stall.  If it continues, perhaps provide us a link so we can see it first hand.

Jim,

Thanks for the response, here's what I've found.

I took your files and put them on my other website I have hosted with yahoo, and poof, no problem. Everything was perfect.

Seems as though my other hosting company supports PHP, but something is missing, or a configuration file is set incorrectly.
Does my PHP.ini need to be configured a certain way? Here's what it looks like.
Thanks again for a great product!

Paul

It's most likely the

allow_url_fopen = Off

that causes a problem.  Change it to

allow_url_fopen = on

and the script should work fine :)

Ken,

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. I'm not sure what's different with yahoo hosting vs. my other company. (aplus.net)
I prefer aplus.net, trying to get anything done with yahoo is ridiculous.

Again, thanks for the help.

I'd tried Yahoo hosting, but found it too restrictive (forced safe_mode and allow_url_fopen turned off)
