Sorry to hear :(

I don't see anything in the logs from what I can see but when I enable the error reporting in the script I do get:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function cal_days_in_month() in /home/fernygro/public_html/test/betel_readDayfile.php:670 Stack trace: #0 /home/fernygro/public_html/test/betel_readDayfile.php(2226): drawCalendar('2019') #1 /home/fernygro/public_html/test/annual-data-summary.php(11): include_once('/home/fernygro/...') #2 {main} thrown in /home/fernygro/public_html/test/betel_readDayfile.php on line 670

Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function cal_days_in_month
according to wobbly wibbly wisdom - "recompile php with the '--enable-calendar'" option."

This is not program error, but a PHP function that is not performing correctly.

Hi,

Yes, it's working correctly once I figured this out, in its proper location: https://www.fernygroveweather.com/annua ... mmary.php

Hope you have a great escape. :)
Thanks

@Matt - back to basics nice clean, clear site you've made.

Only comment I would make is with the temperature gradients you have, and your High / Low values you may as well tweak the code so that the actual 'value' is font color black for greater clarity, or modify the value where it changes from black to white.

The beteljuice has literally just been sprung from confinement (12 hours later than promised due to a paper chase)
Now trying to get some sort of schedule together for pill taking, washing, pill taking, shopping, pill taking, district nurse visit, pill taking, go see practise nurse, pill taking etc. etc .etc.

Oh ..... nearly time for a four hourly pill ... rattle rattle :groan:

Thanks for the feedback. A clean and responsive design but not necessarily a simple site was the intention. The idea behind that I didn't want to get bogged down in a web design project that would take forever and instead let the content do the heavy lifting instead.

Good point regarding the colour contrast and so I tried having all the temperature values of black font colour. That worked fine but not so with the dark red at 40 C +. So instead I darken the colours slightly and the colour contrast looks OK to me. What do you think now?

The default colours were not suitable for my subtropical location, which shows every 30 C + day in red. A maximum around 30 C is normal in summer and while that is hot, 35 C and above is of greater significance.

@Matt

... dosen't really work for my tired old eyes I'm afraid.
You could try adding font-weight: bold; or <b> .... </b> to the color white decision build-up.

I think I have this more readable now. I have adjusted the colours slightly and also modified the black/white font colour value changes.

@Matt - yup that looks more readable.

Most of my scripts are meant to be customisable, but this one is long and not as friendly as others - so well done :clap:

.. carry on regardless

Hi everyone, I have a problem in the dayfile reader, as you can see the pages are loaded, on cumulus the dayfile is seen.
It gives me this error "filed to open dayfile".
http://meteobrianza.altervista.org/wp-c ... ummary.php
I tried to track the file extension etc. but nothing to do. :bash:

Change:

Code: Select all

$dayfile = "/meteo/dayfile.txt"; // to work correctly this should be a relative address NOT full url
To:

Code: Select all

$dayfile = "dayfile.txt"; // to work correctly this should be a relative address NOT full url

Just found what I'm looking for in this & have uploaded some files to give it a try.

http://weather.inverellit.com/basic.php

The unexpected thing is that I see an error, "Failed to open day file",
BUT only when I choose to view EVT, ironically what I was most interested in.

Have had a browse thru readDayFile.php, but don't see anything that stands out.

All the others work, including Solar & UV.

Any thoughts anyone.

Thanks

Phil
