Parse dayfile.txt PHP no database

[daj]

You have changed the wrong line to point to the data file

change this one -- without the # at the start

Code: Select all

$SITE['dayfile']    = '../data/dayfile.txt';

Also to view a different month ...dayfile.php?m=1

Added a check for nitrx's realtime.txt. I am using a local copy of both of the daytime.txt files.

Now you know why I prefer to code for weather stuff. INSTANT feedback.

I sometimes have to wait weeks to get a client to respond to something new.

[nitrx]

Yeps I see , really need some rest but it doesn't quite well

[nitrx]

David indeed I had the wrong file hmmz no file I mean

I used the latest but I see semicolums in the output ( The Fahernheit is not important thats easy to change an d ofcourse some html Going to sleep

[nitrx]

Yes it works thanks Kevin

I have released the script on my scripts page.

http://cumulus.tnetweather.com/projects.phpdayfile

Should work with both "normal" comma deliminted dayfile.txt files and those of the unusual type with decimal commas. (duck).

Script uses the realtime.txt file to determine what the unit types are for rain, temp, pressure and wind.

Yes it works thanks Kevin

Cool.

Looks like the only wierdnees is covered by a simple if statement and using one or the other preg_split calls. I think I could even merge them into a single call but sometimes simple is easier to support.

I will add a gallery to the support page most likely later today if someone wants to show off their page(s) using it.

I think thats a good idea this script came just in time I would to make a motnth summary in excel and export it to html but this is much easier, now I've to find out a good layout but thats a weekendjob

I agree

Its easy to write much tighter code when you do it every day but I find that if I am writing something that is on general release and people want to understand how it works it is best to keep it simple

Thanks alot for this script Kevin!

A couple quick questions:

-When should i set the dayfile to be uploaded to my server?

-How do I make the it look "cleaner" like yours? Would I add that .css code that you posted on the first page to my existing css code?

When should i set the dayfile to be uploaded to my server?

I would guess sometime after midnight -- I upload mine at 00:02

-How do I make the it look "cleaner" like yours? Would I add that .css code that you posted on the first page to my existing css code?

Yes, that would be the easiest way, assuming you have no conflicting id's or classes

I set mine to 12 minutes after midnight. Wasn't if Cumulus does it right at midnight or sometime after.

WD updates stuff like that at 10 mins past.

As for CSS... I was using the following with the demo scripts:

Code: Select all

#daytable {
    width: 750px;
    border-collapse: collapse;
}

#daytable th {
    color: #ffffff;
    font-size: 75%;
    background-color: #6B6B6B;
    vertical-align: bottom;
    border: 1px solid black;
    line-height: 120%;
    text-align: center;
}

#daytable td {
    font-size: 90%;
    vertical-align: top;
    width: 9%;
    text-align: center;
    border: 1px solid black;
    padding: 2px;
}

#daytable .day {
    width: 4%;
    background-color: #6B6B6B;
    color: #ffffff;
}

Which made it look like:

Thanks Daj and Kevin. Got it working now!

Hi,

I'm surprised by the wind run units
Is it right to show m/s or mph
