Hello All:
Wow, its great to have this board back! Anyway, heres a wierd issue:
I recently decided to move my site to my our domain. The php scripts im trying to move are currently are woking perfectly on their current site. Here is an example:
http://www.anchorageweather.i4host.net/station/anchorageforecast.phpHowever, when I tried to migrate th files to the new server hosting my new domain name - the scripts would not work totally. Thats to say they will display; however, the "Advanced NOAA 7-Day forecast" script will not update forecast.txt ?!?
Hmm...strange, its the exact same file and it works on the previous server.
Here is a link to a file I made that will help everyone "see the problem". Click here:
http://eetee.us/station/checkforcasttime.htmOn this page you should be able to see the contents of forecast.txt with a clock showing current universal time. The page also has two links that, when clicked should force the cashe to update. However, if you refresh the page with the clock you can see the time on forecast.txt did not update - the file did not "resave".
The same php script on the previous server works great ?!?
Here is the code for advanchorageforecast.php:
<?php
/*------------------------------------------------
//
//This is a more advanced version of the forecast script
//It uses file caching and feed failure to better handle when NOAA is down
//
//import NOAA Forecast info
//data ends up in three different arrays:
//$forecasticons[x] x = 0 thru 9 This is the icon and text around it
//$forecasttitles[x] x = 0 thru 12 This is the title word for the time period
//$forecasttext[x] x = 0 thru 12 This is the detail text for the forecast
//
//And one more variable - $lastupdate This is the time of last update
//
//Also, in order for this to work correctly, you need the NOAA icons (or make your own...
//there are over 200!). These need to be placed in the path where the original NOAA icons
//are located. In my case, they are at: \forecast\images\
//properly (so make a folder in your web HTML root called "forecast", then make a folder in it
//called "images", and place the icons in this folder)
//
//http://members.cox.net/carterlakeweather/forecasticons.zip (380K)
//
//URL below --MUST BE-- the Printable Point Forecast from the NOAA website
//
//Not every area of the US has a printable point forecast
//
//This script will ONLY WORK with a printable point forecast!
//
//To find yours in your area:
//
//Go to www.noaa.gov
//Click on the Storm Watch map (middle lower left of page)
//Click on your state
//Click on your area of the state
//Scroll down to the "Additional Forecasts & Info"
//Click on Printable Forecast
//------------------------------------------------*/
// Get the forecast.txt file or a new one from NOAA
// You have to have a forecast.txt in place for this script to work
// You can see ours at http://www.carterlake.org/forecast.txt

Does anyone see anything glaring that I might be doing wrong when transfering the files from one host to another?!? Any help would be great. I hope I didn't pay alot of money for my new domain name and hosting service that won't work for me
