But your page had "Full moon.png".

Andy,

Steve is saying it is case sensitive.

Paul, Steve
Thanks. I understand - at last.

Paul, the moon phase is (should be) different depending if one is in the northern or southern hemisphere. I am using a PHP script that uses 28 different images to produce the moon phases for the northern hemisphere (and 28 images to produce the moon phases for the southern hemisphere).

Ray, thanks.

I was just quoting 0-15 as an example instead of the current 8 I'm using.

But yes, 28 different images would be great. If Cumulus did produce a webtag for the moonphase as a number (Steve has suggested it would be a percentage), could the percentage be translated to a moonphase without a script?

But that would create way too many modifications for Cumulus.

The PHP moon phase script that I use for my Web pages produces 9 different values: the full moon age (ie: days, hours, and minutes), the moon age as separate values for days, hours, minutes, the icon/image number (0-27), the moon illumination (as a percentage), the moon phase (as a text), the full moon date (as a Unix date) and the new moon date (as a Unix date). The moon phase script is used on my main page as well as in my star chart page.

You could just use one set of images and rotate them 180 degrees. Probably more work than providing two sets though

Surely all you are really asking for is a "Moon Day number" - then you can publish this figure and / or use it to source a picture of your own.

eg. for a Template page
<img src ='myspace/weather/moon/<#moonday>.png' alt = 'Moonday #<#moonday>' />
