I noticed a couple of days ago that my graphs for AccuWeather are no longer showing the temperature or RealFeel values. Has anyone else seen this problem? Did they change the layout of their page?

Updated Accuweather script. Based on PHP and using metric values.

Installation:
1. Put accuweather.php in scritpts folder
2. Edit variable $file on second line to represent your location
3. Upload host template

Be aware that this scripts is for one minute polling interval!

I adjusted your script like this:
<?php
$file = "http://forecastfox.accuweather.com/adcb ... orecastfox";
$stack = array();
$masivs = array();

on the command line a get the following error:

/srv/www/htdocs/cacti/scripts # ./accuweather.php
./accuweather.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
./accuweather.php: line 2: =: command not found
./accuweather.php: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./accuweather.php: line 3: `$stack = array();'


what could be causing this errror?

[Instigater]

it is not executable, you have to execute php and pass this file as argument like this one:

Code: Select all

 /<path_to_php>/php ./accuweather.php

Thank's a lot !!! If only i would have known...

Now i have a different error message. I checked the URL and get a XML file back with lot's of weather data but my graphs are still empty and on the cmd i get this error:

Code: Select all

Warning: fopen(http://forecastfox.accuweather.com/adcbin/forecastfox/weather_data.asp?location=EUR;CH;SZ026;ZURICH;&metric=1&partner=forecastfox): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /srv/www/htdocs/cacti/scripts/accuweather.php on line 31

in this line i see this:

Code: Select all

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
29: xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
30: xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "cData");
31: if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
32: die("could not open XML input");
}

What can i do to get the graphs working?

[Instigater]

Your PHP settings in php.ini doesn't allow to open files on remote servers.

[morgentau]

Back from a long break i would like to make this weather graphs work.
How can i change the php.ini settings?

is possible to attach it to the forum? thx



Also, one more question.
Is possible to graph more than one locations??

[romanmir]

2. Edit variable $file on second line to represent your location
3. Upload host template

Could anyone point me in the right direction for how represent my location field-wise in the second line?

[spoonman]

same here??? How do you define a location elsewhere ...US for example..

also in the echo statement at the end how can you put a carriage return to return you promt to a new line after all variables are presented??

echo "temperature:".$temperature." humidity:".$humidity." windgusts:".$windgusts." windspeed:".$windspeed." visibility:".$visibility." realfeel:".$realfeel." uvindex:".$uvindex." pressure:".$pressure ; <<< new line??

[romanmir]

After banging my head on trying to figure what the codes mean, I tried a couple of different combos..

This returns data for where I am:

http://forecastfox.accuweather.com/adcb ... orecastfox


At least it looks sane.. gonna test it out over the next few days, I hope to be able to narrow it down to zip codes.

[spoonman]

That looks perfect to me, I tried changing the link to fit my area in GA and it works perfectly...changing that metric to 0 also is nice....i upgraded these templates with my current accuweather graphs since most of them had stopped working.

Thanks
