Hi all

I am getting these in my error file:

[12-Aug-2019 13:25:19 Australia/Brisbane] PHP Warning:  Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/kstwx197/public_html/get-USNO-sunmoon.php on line 361

I am running the Saratoga Scripts and am running the latest version (Version 3.02 - 23-Nov-2018) of the script referred to above.

Any help will be appreciated to correct this.

Thanks

Keith

Your website URL?

Note that I'm unable to resolve api.usno.navy.mil, which happens periodically. Not sure why. This is likely the cause of the errors.

Failure to resolve api.usno.navy.mil will cause those issues as the data will be missing and so cast those errors.

You can put

Code: [Select]

$SITE['useUSNO'] = false; in your Settings.php to switch get-USNO-sunmoon-inc.php to use internal calculations instead of accessing the USNO site.

Ken. Since the usno service is up and down frequently could the be some sort of calculation as to then doing an internal calculation if the site doesn't respond after the set amount of time perhaps, rather than have the feature on or off?

Great idea!  Ken, your thoughts?

[Jasiu]

The current structure of the routine is:

Code: [Select]

if ($useUSNO)
  fetch data from USNO
else
  do calculations

Perhaps a mod that does this would work for any fetch failure:

Code: [Select]

if ($useUSNO)
  attempt fetch data from USNO
  if fetch fails
    $useUSNO = false;
  else
     use USNO data
if ( ! $useUSNO )
  do calculations
