Cumulus Support

Yours is configured for CUmulus Laurent, wetter-pocking is configured for VWS which has a different naming scheme and has a 'fixed' title for current year / month files.

Hi all,
Not sure if this has been covered before.

It seems that some server/php configurations implement certain $_SERVER and $_ENV variables in a manner which causes their values to be incorrect.
One of these is the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable, used in the NOAA-reports.php script.
In my case this was returning /noaarep.php/noaarep.php instead of /noaarep.php
I found a description of the cause of this and a solution at http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

The solution is to change the code at about line 158 from: to Since this change I've had no more problems.

Here's a link to my test page: http://weather.gktnet.com/noaarep.php

@wetter-pocking

I've copied some of your files and directory settings and replicated the problem, which only becomes obvious when there is more than 'this' years data, although the bug is deeper than that !

I continue to investigate ...
... but I do have other commitments ATM .............

And there is no "2013.txt"-file, data of 2013 is written to "noaayr.txt".

Can't you do an automatic rename on the serversite for those 2 files ? or upload these two with right names in a batch ftp ?

Update affecting non CUmulus users

Menu bug fix

Many thanks to wetter-pocking for making me find a logic 'hole' that no one else has mentioned

Hi I've never followed this but does the script handles NOAA-reports wit a comma as decimal separator ?

like this ?

Ron, it doesn't look at the content of the reports, it just displays them, so yes it will work fine with a comma decimal.

Your web page is utf-8, so I think you need to select the utf-8 option in Cumulus in the NOAA setup.

Hi Steve
Can't see that option on the NOAA setup under configeration or am I looking in the wrong place

It was an addition to 1.9.4, it sounds like you have 1.9.3.

Thanks Steve
upgraded and problem sorted

....

You have multiple <doctype> , <head><body><html> statements in your page !

I am assuming you didn't follow the instructions on including and have created a html page within a html page.
