Topic: NOAA Reports

Looks like the wxnoaaclimatereports.php is no longer working.  My site is just showing 100 degrees for all temps.

Looking at my Bismarck page, it looks like they took down the old TXT version of the NOAA reports.

I don't understand... https://www.bismarckweather.net/wxnoaaclimatereports.php shows NOAA txt reports correctly.

Is there a different URL to wxnoaaclimatereports.php I should be looking at that shows the problem you cited?

Sorry, wrong file.  noaarec.php is the one calling for the data in the ajax-dashboard file.  Right below my rain totals.

I'm not familiar with 'noaarec.php' script.  I see in the view-source of the home page

<!-- noaarec.php loaded -->

<!-- server day found in cache 27,,,,,, -->
<!-- thisDayMax MISSING -->
<!-- thisDayMaxYear MISSING -->
<!-- thisDayMin MISSING -->
<!-- thisDayMinYear MISSING -->
<!-- thisDayMaxAvg MISSING -->
<!-- thisDayMinAvg MISSING -->
<!-- NO tomorrow found in cache -->

<!-- RING NOAA -->
<!-- NOAA data FAIL -->
<!-- Couldn't get valid thisDayMax -->
<!-- Couldn't get valid thisDayMaxYear -->
<!-- Couldn't get valid thisDayMin -->
<!-- Couldn't get valid thisDayMinYear -->
<!-- Couldn't get valid thisDayMaxAvg -->
<!-- Couldn't get valid thisDayMinAvg -->
<!-- NEW cache out: 27,,,,,,
 -->

You'll need to post the code of the noaarec.php for others to help fix the issue.

Sure thing.  Beetlejuice had originally created the program.

I noticed the pages have changed.  So I'm wondering if the source file that was read has changed locations.
 
If you go to this site, change to the Observed Weather tab.  Then open Daily Climate report for Bismarck, I believe that is the text file that was being scraped.

It took a bit of work, but I think I've fixed it using a different URL and access arrangement.
Had to add a stream context to the file_get_contents() request with a browser user agent.
Switched to using a preg_match_all() to extract the <pre> content for parsing.

  Many Thanks Ken !!

This is proper to this thread.

I hadn't realised they'd changed everything around permanently again 

Your modified version is now 'the release' in the above thread.

Once again - thank you, my head feels better already

Thanks to you both.  It's up and running again.

Hi All,

Got mine to work. Thanks Ken, beteljuice and John from Phoenix in steering me in the right direction for the fixes.

Thanks!

My Oklahoma City NOAA source failed.  The next nearest one, Tulsa, failed too.  The next nearest one, Wichita works.  Hopefully, they're not further failing elsewhere.

Mine seems to be working fine.
