Not much to help with beyond what the instructions already say...
Download the code,
Edit as shown, use notepad.exe
Upload to your site
Put your ftp creds into GR3.
Click OK.
Wait 10 minutes, then check your site. I would actually just start uploading your images now, then they will be there, and you can rule out that as an issue, should you run into trouble with the php.

Hi Joesph,
A couple of questions for you. Do you have a dedicated computer for running GR3 all of the time? You are using KRLX, correct? I'll be happy to assist if I'm able to.
Also, are you able to run PHP on your site?
John

Okay, no problem. Have you have downloaded the file GR3-radar-inc.php from Ken's (Saratoga) site? If so, have you changed the settings in there yet?

Okay. The settings are pretty simple. I'll walk you through it.
# GRLevel3 Radar image settings
$GR3radar = 'kmux'; // set to lower-case full name of NEXRAD radar site (ICAO) Change the highlighted to "rlx"
$GR3DIR = '/GR3'; // set to directory for GRLevel3 images (or '/' for root directory) You can create this directory.
$GR3type = 'cr'; // default radar image type 'cr','br','cr248','br1' etc. This will the first thing you see after loading the webpage.
$GR3img = 'jpg'; // GR3 image type 'jpg' or 'png'
$GR3cnt = 10; // number of images in series 10=(_0 ... _9 in name of file)
$GR3width = 512; // width of GR3 images
$GR3height = 512; // height of GR3 images
$GR3maxAge = 1200; // image_0 has to be less than 20 minutes old for consideration
$GR3notAvailMsg = 'GRLevel3 radar images are not available at this time.';
$GR3notCurrentMsg = 'GRLevel3 radar image is not current - more than %s seconds old.';
The width and height can be changed of you want. I have mine set to width=612 and the height=512.
Hope that makes sense.

Ok. To use your what's called your "root" directory, please change where you have fitzweather.html to just the "/".
$GR3DIR = '/'; // set to directory for GRLevel3 images (or '/' for root directory) Should look like this to work properly.

That looks fine, Joseph. Now, please save the file. I'm not all that great at coding myself. Thank goodness for Dreamweaver. Now we need to a new webpage to put this in.
I'm attaching a .zip file that contains a .php file that hopefully will work with your site. Please unzip and upload this file and the GR3-radar-inc.php file to your website directory.
Have you setup the FTP in GR3? If so, please set it to start uploading to your website. It will upload new radar images not long after the radar updates, so it may a few minutes to get some images there.
Once there are images, try out the wxgr3.php file and see if it works.

On the GR3 FTP where it says Directory, you should put the "/" only.

Everything should be in there. All you should have to do is upload the 2 .php files to your website directory.
