Topic: advforecast2.php Down

[Bunty]

I hope it's a temporary problem at NWS, perhaps already gone, but advforecast2.php script is no longer working here.  Neither the current or previous version works.

Ken has a new version ready to download on his site. It fixes some changes the NWS made recently.

Try changing your advforecast2.php

Code: [Select]

$backupfileName = "http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=$NOAAZone&TextType=2";
to

Code: [Select]

$backupfileName = "http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=$NOAAZone&zflg=1";
and see if that gets the Zone forecast working again.  Your point-printable forecast is currently not available, and the
existing URL for the Zone forecast is getting a redirect to the URL shown above.

I may have to add a redirect handler to the Zone forecast too (there already is one for the point-printable forecast).  This seems to be an issue for the CRH sites .. it's not happening with the WRH sites.

Best regards,
Ken

Okay, Ken, your fixed worked.  Thanks a bunch.
