Topic: WXSIM Chart

[Forever]

I have this old script that I would love to keep using but it's getting the following deprecated errors. Can anyone help me fix the issues?

PHP Deprecated:  substr(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in C:\inetpub\weathercat\wxsimchart\meteogram\highchart.wxsim.php on line 354
PHP Deprecated:  substr(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in C:\inetpub\weathercat\wxsimchart\meteogram\highchart.wxsim.php on line 355
PHP Deprecated:  substr(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in C:\inetpub\weathercat\wxsimchart\meteogram\highchart.wxsim.php on line 356

Here are the 3 lines of code.
var snowdata = ['.substr($snowjson, 0, -1).'];
var sleetdata = ['.substr($sleetjson, 0, -1).'];
var frzdata = ['.substr($frzjson, 0, -1).'];

It seems that the three variables aren't being set in prior code, so are empty values.
Try changing

Code: [Select]

var snowdata = ['.substr($snowjson, 0, -1).'];
var sleetdata = ['.substr($sleetjson, 0, -1).'];
var frzdata = ['.substr($frzjson, 0, -1).'];
to

Code: [Select]

var snowdata = ['.@substr($snowjson, 0, -1).'];
var sleetdata = ['.@substr($sleetjson, 0, -1).'];
var frzdata = ['.@substr($frzjson, 0, -1).'];
to suppress those Deprecated messages.

A better approach would be to preprocess the values, then you don't need to suppress the error messages

Code: [Select]

var snowdata = ['.empty($snowjson)?"":substr($snowjson, 0, -1).'];
var sleetdata = ['. empty($sleetjson)?"":substr($sleetjson, 0, -1).'];
var frzdata = ['.empty($frzjson)?"":substr($frzjson, 0, -1).'];

Thanks for the help Ken.

I'm getting the following when I try the better approach.

PHP Fatal error:  Unparenthesized `a ? b : c ? d : e` is not supported. Use either `(a ? b : c) ? d : e` or `a ? b : (c ? d : e)` in C:\inetpub\weathercat\wxsimchart\meteogram\highchart.wxsim.php on line 333

Ok... try

Code: [Select]

var snowdata = ['.(empty($snowjson)?"":substr($snowjson, 0, -1)).'];
var sleetdata = ['. (empty($sleetjson)?"":substr($sleetjson, 0, -1)).'];
var frzdata = ['.(empty($frzjson)?"":substr($frzjson, 0, -1)).'];

Thank You, that worked.

Hi,

Where I can find the full script to download?

Thanks!

[Forever]

The source for this old version disappeared long ago. Here is the link to the developers current offerings. https://www.nordicweather.net/phpscripts.php?en

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to zip up what I have to share it.

[meteothes.gr]

Unfortunately, this script is no longer available, and the other scripts that I'm already using from Nordicweather no longer work in PHP 8. xx.

In PHP 7. xx are already working with many warnings and errors. The author is not around anymore to update the code, so I'm looking for something else to fix the meteogramm which is very nice and popular!

Anyway, thanks for the answer!

There are multiple discussions on the "other" forum about WXSIM and the graphical scripts for WXSIM.
The following 2 links point to the 8.x versions of the NordicWeather wxsim scripts:
WXSIM "EWN-style" for php8

Wx3in1 Script Running on PHP 8.x

Also my own Leuven forecast scripts include a WXSIM plaintext a graphical version version using latest.csv or lastret.txt
All Leuven forecast scripts  are PHP 8.2 & HighCharts 11.3 compatible.
Check the demo and download at: Leuven v4.14 forecast scripts 2024-08-07

Succes,
Wim

Thanks Wim!

Everything works fine now (php 8.1.30)!

Your scripts are great! One thing only. The scripts work only when the wxsim files, are located at the root path (../) only, not another directory like ../wxsim/!

I've even used the full absolute path like /home/user/public_html/wxsim/ with no result! It should work!

Yes, it was assumend in the early days of WSIM scripts that tall data and scripts were located in the root.

It should work if you modify the lines which points to the location.
Script wsFctWxsimDPage.php for the complete page with the grpahs.
Script wsFctWxsimPPage.php for the plaintext page

Line 39 now reads

Code: [Select]

$wxsim_files_dir        = '../';    Change that to

Code: [Select]

$wxsim_files_dir        = '../wxsim/';     
But  a  modified version of the Saratoga WXSIM plaintext-parser from Ken True is used.
I forgot    to update the location in that script also. Script ./wsfct4/pp/plaintext-parser.php line 132 now reads

Code: [Select]

$plaintextFile = '../../plaintext.txt';  ######     // location of the WXSIM plaintext.txtChange that to

Code: [Select]

$plaintextFile = '../'.$wxsim_files_dir.'plaintext.txt';  ######  2024-10-15   // location of the WXSIM plaintext.txtI attached a zip of that script.  Unzip and replace the currenty version in the ./wsfct4/pp/  folder.

Succes,
Wim
