Topic: WXStatus & GRlevel3

[mkutche]

So for now I have GRlevel3 publishing (uploading) to another server IE. http://www.mikeswxblog.com/GR3 my question is how do i implement this in this code so it actually shows it is being updated?

Code: [Select]

# start of custom checks (put your custom checks below)
        $tDir = './GR3/';
if(file_exists($tDir.'kind_br1_0.jpg')) {
           do_check(langtransstr("GRlevel3 Radar FTP"),$tDir.'kind_br1_0.jpg',10*60+15,'file');
                if(file_exists("radar-status.php")) { // add radar status check if available
   echo " <tr>\n";
   echo "   <td colspan=\"4\">\n";
   include_once("radar-status.php");
   echo "</td>\n";
   echo " </tr>\n";
}

        }
        $tDir = './';
if(file_exists($tDir.'forecast-summary.txt')) {
           do_check(langtransstr("Forecast Summary"),$tDir.'forecast-summary.txt',10*60+15,'file');

        }
# end of custom checks

Since http://www.gosportwx.com/ and http://www.mikeswxblog.com/GR3 likely have different document roots in the filesystem, you may not be able to use relative addressing to say where (exactly) the GR3 directory is from one site to the other.

You need to know the absolute paths in the filesystem for each site to determine if relative addressing from the gosportwx site to the mikeswxblog site is possible.

Ken, would using the 'realpath' PHP function not give him the canonicalized absolute pathname?

Remember not too long ago when I had to deal with the location of the True Type fonts and my solution was to, indeed, use the 'realpath' function...

I think he still has to understand the absolute paths to the respective directories on both sites in order to craft a relative address on the gosport site in wxstatus.php to the GR3 directory in the mikeswxblog site (assuming that BOTH are under his main hosting directory).

the realpath() function won't help unless you know the exactly what relative file addressing needs to be used -- it would then flesh out the absolute path for you, but you have to start with a good relative file path in the first place.
