Topic: wxflyer.php help

I get the message below when I open wxflyer.php

Warning: fopen(./nws-forecast-discussion.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /virtual/users/e17244-18991/web/wxflyer.php on line 413

Any ideas? I have permissions set to 666.
Line 413 is cache.

Its there again..

Warning: fopen(./nws-forecast-discussion.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /virtual/users/e17244-18991/web/wxflyer.php on line 413

Not really recommended, but try changing your nws-forecast-discussion.txt file to 777 in the permissions just to see if that works.

Sometimes it does it and sometimes it don't. Odd! Might leave it besides putting the permissions that high since its not recommend.

Thanks

I found the problem I think. I have no nws-forecast-discussion.txt file on my server!

It still gives that warning problem sometimes.  On my flyer at http://stillwaterweather.com/wx/wxflyer.php  a forecast discussion never shows up even with a nws-forecast-discussion.txt file in place.  I've noticed forecast discussion isn't showing up on some of the other sites with flyers as well.

Yours looks great with no errors. Could I just tell the script not to look for one so I won't have an error?

Thanks.  Try putting two slashes at both ends of entry at around line 38 to look like this:
//$WRH_URL = 'http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=OUN&product=AFD&format=TXT&version=1&glossary=0';//

I did that and I still get this...

When I first load the page it's fine but if you refresh the error comes back.

Are you sure you have the .txt file on your site? I cant see it here.. http://hayskansasweather.com/nws-forecast-discussion.txt

Here's what mine looks like... http://www.northbendweather.com/nws-forecast-discussion.txt

That's what I said. I don't.

Using notepad create a blank file and when saving the file, name it

nws-forecast-discussion.txt

Then upload it to your site and change the file permissions to 666.

Sorry, but the forecast discussion isn't working on your flyer, either.  As I stated before other people have this problem.

Congratulations, the forecast discussion part of your flyer works!

Yes - I Know. My flyer is modified and does not include the forecast discussion on purpose so the flyer does not get too long and stays on one page.  The line

Code: [Select]

<?php
// make a short paragraph of the forecast discussion
$Status = $curl_debug = '';
echo get_forecast_discussion_flyer();
?> has been deleted and instead there are 2 more forecasts. The nws-forecast-discussion.txt from 2010 still exists because it is not in use.

I have found that sometimes the scripts don't create the needed txt files the first time, but when one is manually created, the script starts working and overwriting on it. This may or may not work for you, but it doesn't hurt to try. I see that you also have your files in a subfolder of your main directly /wx/. Have you checked for a path issue?
