Topic: updated WU-History-inc.php for wxwuhistory.php on Saratoga template sites

[saratogaWX]

Jim McMurray of Juneau County Weather has updated his WU-History script to handle the recent changes in WeatherUnderground data. I've done some minor changes to his V3.3 script (4-Mar-2016) for the add-on wxwuhistory.php page.

The only script that changed is (for the Saratoga template with wxwuhistory installed) is the WU-History-inc.php

Download the updated script here or
Download the package for new installs here

Thanks to Jim (and Wim) for the update that restores functionality to this useful add-on page.

Best regards,
Ken

I noticed my WU History page had stopped working correctly and found this new code but I'm having problems getting it to work. If I make all the code changes the page will not load.


I fount the following code to be the problem for me. Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

Code: [Select]

[/// $socketConnection = fsockopen($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr, $numberOfSeconds);
$socketConnection = fsockopen('ssl://'.$domain, 443, $errno, $errstr, $numberOfSeconds);code]

As debug is switched off, it is difficult to pinpoint the error. There is a fatal error but which one is only guessing.
Please change line 1 of WU-History-inc.php from

Code: [Select]

<?phpto

Code: [Select]

<?php  ini_set('display_errors', 'On');  error_reporting(E_ALL);By changing that line, all errors will be displayed and maybe this gives us a clue what is happening.

Thank for the reply Wim.

I did as you asked but don't see an error displayed.

Thank for the reply Wim.

I did as you asked but don't see an error displayed.

The only error I got with a dozen tries was:
PHP parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$domain' (T-VARABLE) in C:\inetpub\weathercat\WU-History-inc.php on line 1408
It is important as that line 1408 is in the changed code and that it is the same line you are referring to
and  it is also important that you are using Windows as a website-server.
I did not test the script in a Windows environment yet.

Maybe you could add the debug line just before the   include 'WU-History-inc.php' in wxwuhistory.php
It is now something like:

Code: [Select]

<?php include_once("WU-History-inc.php"); ?>change it to

Code: [Select]

<?php ini_set('display_errors', 'On');  error_reporting(E_ALL);
include_once("WU-History-inc.php"); ?>It is a long shot, but we need an error message about what is happening.

The problem is that this script is working in Saratoga- and Leuven-templates at hundreds of locations without problems.
But I have no list of windows servers using it so I can not compare your site  to other windows-sites.

And the addition in the latest version needs an ssl connection. I do not know how to check that on windows.
Probably we have to add some debug code just before line 1408 with the fsockopen to check the used variables first.

This is maybe a clue: http://php.net/manual/en/openssl.installation.php


And at line 1402 just before the error we are looking for, the error reporting is switched off.
It reads now

Code: [Select]

error_reporting(0);please set it to comment
 

Code: [Select]

// error_reporting(0);

Thank you Ken for posting this, I missed it and yes my site had the problem until I updated the file.

I noticed I had the same problem on the Leuven-Template so I also missed that there was fix too.  I applied the new upgraded files and it looks good now, thank you Wim.

I made the additional edits and I'm still not getting an error.

I looked at the openssl setup and I think it's setup correctly.

I do not see a modification in the script. At this moment 2016-05-22 21:22 CEST these are the lines 1399-1403 in WU-History-inc.php

Code: [Select]

function getcsvWithoutHanging($url)   {

$numberOfSeconds=4;   
error_reporting(0);
$url = str_replace("http://","",$url);
line 1401 should be set to comment or better modified as in the following code snippet

Code: [Select]

function getcsvWithoutHanging($url)   {
 
$numberOfSeconds=4;   
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$url = str_replace("http://","",$url);
Please try again, we need an error message.

I will make a small test script with just the fsockopen tomorrow morning, my time and post it.
That is easier with testing.

I made the change in an old file. 

Making the change in the correct file gives lots of errors.

Yes, I saw that.

Code: [Select]

Warning: fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1.
OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:
SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed in C:\inetpub\weathercat\WU-History-inc.php on line 1408The error is caused by  an invalid SSL verify.  All other errors are the result of the first one as no data can be loaded.

I have to find the correct header to omit SSL checking with fsockopen and windows.
Will be tomorrow my time, i think, sorry.

No rush, thanks for helping.

[wvdkuil]

No rush, thanks for helping.

I adapted the code, but FIRST:
I did not find any code to suppress the CSS peer verify when using the fsockopen which raises the error .
All forums mention that this should not happen as it is caused by a badly configured webserver, missing the needed root certificates.

if it is your own web-server, please Google and install the certificates as more companies are only supplying information using https.

===
I adapted the script to use CURL as it has an option: CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER which can be set to false.

1. Make a copy of your current  WU-History-inc.php
2. unzip the attachment and upload the updates version of WU-History-inc.php

Success, Wim

Thanks, everything seems to be working.
