This happens if you go to pennlake.us  -- Forecast - then Select Richfield Springs.

Not at all sure what is happening.

Thanks for any help.

Two problems here, but one fix should get you going again.  Doing a view-source:http://pennlake.us/wxforecast.php?z=1 helps to debug these things.

1) The call to fetch the meta data is failing.

Code: [Select]

The code doesn't explicitly handle such errors - just assumes you got good data.

Code: [Select]

  if (!isset($META['zoneName'])) { // no zone data.. load it
    $Status.= "<!-- getting metadata for forecast zone from $metaZoneURL -->\n";
    $rawhtml = ADV_fetchUrlWithoutHanging($metaZoneURL);
    $stuff = explode("\r\n\r\n",$rawhtml); // maybe we have more than one header due to redirects.
    $content = (string)array_pop($stuff); // last one is the content
    $headers = (string)array_pop($stuff); // next-to-last-one is the headers
    $rawPJSON = json_decode($content, true); // parse the JSON into an associative array
    $PJSON  = $rawPJSON['properties'];       // geojson format
 
So when you get to that last line there, you encounter the error because "properties" is not set.

2) The reason it is failing is because you have a county code there instead of a zone code. It needs to be a zone code. You can fix this in Settings.php

Code: [Select]

$SITE['NWSforecasts']   = array( // for the advforecast2.php V3.xx version script
// use "Zone|Location|Point-printableURL",  as entries .. first one will be the default forecast.
"PAZ047|Penn Lake Park |http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.1131&lon=-75.7749&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=text&TextType=2",
"NYC043|Richfield Springs|http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.8534&lon=-74.9854&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=text&TextType=2",
"PAZ055|Stroudsburg|http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.9868&lon=-75.1946&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=text&TextType=2",
"PAZ006|Coudersport|http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=41.7748&lon=-78.0206&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=text&TextType=2",
);
Just plug in the correct zone code for Richfield as you've done for the others.

Thank you all for your help!!!
I'll have to look up the code and plug it in and see what happens. Is this something that changed recently? It's been working for years or have I just been lucky, lol.

[Jasiu]

Did you change recently from the v4.xx code to v5.xx? In any case, yeah, it should be a zone code for all.

This happens if you go to pennlake.us  -- Forecast - then Select Richfield Springs.

OT: but Richfield Springs? Thats not too far from me. The zone is NYZ046 for Otsego County.

[yamiacaveman]

Thanks Tony.

[yamiacaveman]

Yes Jasiu, a few weeks ago I updated a lot of things -- and I don't believe I checked that part of the forecast out, again thanks you are always a great help.

[yamiacaveman]

Well I changed to the correct zone in the Settings which seemed to correct some things but not all -- does anyone know what else I need to change?

[saratogaWX]

You have a typo... 'NYZ04'  instead of 'NYZ046' in

Code: [Select]

"NYZ04|Richfield Springs|http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.8534&lon=-74.9854&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=text&TextType=2",
in Settings.php

Thanks Ken and thanks to all!

Boy, it's getting bad when I can't even copy and past right!

Again Thanks!
