Saratoga Meteo Alarm Script
« on: July 31, 2014, 04:52:06 PM »
I recently updated my website but have found this script not to work and I can't work out why.
It still works on the old page as long as the cache has been flushed. Same get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php script running on both pages. New page is www.mad-weather.com/meteo_warnings.php old page is www.mad-weather.com/warnings.php
www.mad-weather.com/get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php will load properly as long as the cache has been flushed, when it is an include it won't in the  new page if it makes sense.
What am I missing? Same server, same directory structure.

Hi Rosalind,

I ran your new page with ?debug=y and looked at the view-source of the page and found

Checking the cache file at cache/sul-meteoalarm-en.txt shows

So.. it appears the response indicates a URL configuration for the MeteoAlarm that could not be processed on their server..
Check the specification for the MeteoAlarm URL and that should fix up the issue.

Hi Ken,
The Url is correct as the get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php works on its own. As soon as it is included in one of my pages it doesn't work, only if the cache is populated first but then it stops.
The Warning data link on the get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php links to the correct page but within its own page the link is not correct. Something else on the page is interfering with it?

The culprit is the Ajax gizmo. What would be in that that would stop the meteo alarm working properly?

Hi Rosalind,

It is very hard to say why it is failing.  Would you mind .zip of the new page, along with any PHP file it includes so I could take a look? 

It's likely that a double-include of something is resulting in a duplicate function definition attempt (which causes a PHP fatal error), but where that is exactly is hard to tell without seeing the source.

Best regards, Ken

Hi Ken,
zip file attached. Hope it is OK as in all the years I have been unzipping files I've never zipped one  :eek:
Many thanks for looking.

I took a look through the files and don't see anything that would cause the issue.

Check your PHP error_log for Apache on your website .. it may contain info about what is causing the get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php script to not produce output with the new page.  I still suspect that one of the included files defines a function that is also used by the meteoalarm script...

Best regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,
Nothing in the error log that relates to the get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php script. I may just have to leave out the gizmo on that page until a time when I find out what the problem is. I suspect it is something to do with the language side of it.
Usually I find when something is called twice you get a fatal error and the line of the script which is causing it. In this case that doesn't happen.
Thanks
Rosalind
