Need some help with website

[TriCountyWeather]

Hey,
 I am wanting to add the Noaa Forecast to my site, but everythime i do, i keep screwing up somehow. Basically, all I want is the graphics and the highs and lows, not the rest of it. my website is Tricountyweather.com, and i made a test page that shows what I want it to look like, but of course its not going to work since the script is not there. http://www.tricountyweather.com/wxforumtest.htm

If someone could give me a pointer I would be very appreciative!

Hi Scott,

I think what you want to use is the advforecast2.php script (http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-carterlake.php#advforecast ) .. that will provide you with the icons/temps/text and you can use it in your page... but... there's a catch .. it has to run as a PHP script, and normally .html pages aren't parsed for PHP.

If you want a .html page to include a PHP page, you'll have to use a Server-Side-Include like

Code:

<!--#include virtual="fcst.php" -->

In a fcst.php page, have it just have

Code:

<?php
$doPrintNWS = false;
include("advforecast2.php");

print $Status;

?>
  <table width="640" style="border: none;">
    <tr align="center" style="background-color: #FFFFFF;">
      <td><b>National Weather Service Forecast for: </b><span style="color: green;">
           <?php echo $forecastcity; ?></span><br />
        Issued by: <?php echo $forecastoffice; ?>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td align="center">Updated: <?php echo $forecastupdated; ?>
          </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td align="center">&nbsp;
            <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
              <tr valign ="top" align="center">
        <?php
          for ($i=0;$i<count($forecasticons);$i++) {
            print "<td style=\"width: 11%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">$forecasticons[$i]</span></td>\n";
          }
        ?>
          </tr>
          <tr valign ="top" align="center">
          <?php
          for ($i=0;$i<count($forecasticons);$i++) {
            print "<td style=\"width: 11%;\">$forecasttemp[$i]</td>\n";
          }
          ?>
          </tr>
        </table>
     </td>
   </tr>
</table>

and that will cause the forecast to be fetched by advforecast2.php, printed in fcst.php and directly included in your html page where you placed the <!--#include virtual="fcst.php" -->

Don't forget to configure advforecast2.php with your NOAA zone and point-printable forecast URL, and to have the carterlake-icons.zip uploaded to your site as forecast/images/

Instructions are on the scripts page cited above...

Best regards,
Ken

There's a couple of forecast image options at http://www.weatherforyou.com/snapshots/ that would accomplish this.  Also the HAMweather scripts can accomplish this (example at http://www.grantspassweather.com/forecast.php ) although I also have the full forecast under it, too.

The htm page is just a test page that I threw up there just so everyone can see what I am wanting to do. I have the script working fine
on the mobile page, just on the main page, im not wanting the whole forecast to be on there. I just want the top part of the script and not all the text below. Everytime that I try to make it look as i want, i mess up the script and it dosent work. The wxforumtest.htm is just basically the template I want it to look like. I didnt want to throw it into a php page just yet until i can figure out what I am missing or doing wrong. Scott
