Topic: PHP Question on pulling this months data

[CNYWeather]

I've been messing with this and trying to figure out how to do it.

In WD there are tags such as:
%avtempjan%
%avtempfeb%
%avtempmar%

and
%avtempjannow%
%avtempfebnow%
%avtempmarnow%

I'd like to get these onto my main page. My question is, can PHP replace the month like jan in the tag with the current month?
Someone lead me in the right direction if possible.

Try something like this.

Code: [Select]

$avtemp_current_month_now = ${'avtemp'.strtolower(date("M")).'now'};
$avtemp_current_month = ${'avtemp'.strtolower(date("M"))};

I created the functions Murry, but they're showing no data.
I think maybe it's could be because the WD tags have the month abbreviated?

The M would be the entire month name right?

I see this PHP function

Code: [Select]

string jdmonthname ( int $julianday , int $mode 0 )That will make the month a 3 letter abbreviation and strtolower makes it lower case?

The date("M") returns a 3 letter of the month and the strtolower makes it lower case.
The example I gave works for me and has the same values as the $avtempmar and $avtempmarnow variables.
Does the $avtempmar and $avtempmarnow variables have values before the code you added.

I must have been inserting the code incorrectly. I do have it working now Murry

Code: [Select]

<tr>
                    <td align="center" valign="top" style="text-align: center; border: 1px solid red;">
                          <?php langtrans('Mean Temp')?><br><? echo date('F Y'); ?><br/>
                          <strong><style="font-size: 14px"><?php echo $avtemp_current_month_now = ${'avtemp'.strtolower(date("M")).'now'} . $uomTemp;?></span></strong><br/>
                                              </td>
                    <td align="center" valign="top" style="text-align: center; border: 1px solid blue;">
                          <?php langtrans('Mean Temp<br>Since 2006'); ?><br/>
                          <strong><style="font-size: 14px"><?php echo $avtemp_current_month = ${'avtemp'.strtolower(date("M"))} . $uomTemp; ?></span></strong><br/>
                                              </td>
                </tr>
Looking good now. Thank you very much for the effort!!

If you are not using the new variables in any other locations you could simplify the code a bit by changing

Code: [Select]

<?php echo $avtemp_current_month_now = ${'avtemp'.strtolower(date("M")).'now'} . $uomTemp;?>
to

Code: [Select]

<?php echo ${'avtemp'.strtolower(date("M")).'now'} . $uomTemp;?>
And do likewise for the other variable.
