I created a simple text based dashboard in PHP that uses only Realtime data. Still need to clean up the code a bit, but it seems to be working now. The dashboard has all the available data in the realtime.txt file basically along with a graphical thermometer and windrose compass.
A snapshot of it can be seen attached... also it is on a test template site that I am building:
http://cumulus2.tnet.com
I've got a lot of ideas about the template including the possible option of providing a web host service that works by having a user upload only the realtime.txt file to a specified ftp account and having a resulting website built on the fly dynamically using just that data.
For the user that doesn't want to create their own website.
Still thinking about that part... would be a "vacation" fun project.

Re: PHP Dashboard
Yes... right now it is part of the index page...
I need to break it back out as a stand alone script.

Re: PHP Dashboard
Kevin,
If you don't mind; What is the code you are using for the windrose and/or the trends? If I could see that it will help me figure out the dashboard concept. I have one working based on your design but I'm stuck on that part.
Thanks,
Jack

Re: PHP Dashboard
I am still working on it... so it's not ready yet.
The windrose was created using Xara Vector Graphics. Two sizes were posted as a set on Weather-Watch @ http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index. ... #msg293420 A PHP function that I created takes the wdir value and provides a image link to the proper compass image.
Trends is a PHP function I wrote that looks at the passed value to see if it is rising or falling and based on what it finds outputs an image (also created in Xara). It will be part of the dashboard script when it is released.
The thermometer part is also still being worked on as well.
