PHP Web 'viewer' for Cumulus NOAA Style reports

If you have a ftp program, just login and start going 'up' the directories. The 'full' path may already be displayed in your ftp prog.

My web pages root for example /(username)/public_html

Your username may or may not be displayed, try it both ways - if you can't work it out ask your webspace provider.

Just checked godaddy very unhelpful support forum ..

"Our Hosting servers do not included a /public_html/ folder, ..."

They suggest that if a prog requires [root] to try "/" (no dot - I'm not optimistic

)

thanks for your help beteljuice.

according to a script my dirname is just a full stop .

which i tried with no success.

i then tried to eliminate the need for a dir to be opened in the script - without success

so for now i will have to stick with the reports being in a folder

http://www.maidenerleghweather.com/noaa.php

thanks everyone!

(if anyone can get rid or edit the script so $NOAAdir is not needed i would be interested)

After running some php addressing checks this was my PM response:

but we have just proved that you must have a sub-directory !

It always was the best option.

The script inspects the contents of a (stated) directory, and looks for files with a particular naming format.

In the (html) root there is the future possibility of many files to be checked and the accidental naming of none related files that seem to match the expected format.

Unfortunately opendir() is unhappy in (html) root which for that function is a php nomansland. In your case, because of the lack of a higher directory structure php can't work out where it really is.

Thanks Beteljuice
This is superb I have sort of tried to produce records on my site but this is a lot better
My limited coding knowledge prevented me from anything more complex than pasting in the monthly screen shots from cumulus
Had it up & running in a few minutes works really well alongside David's daily data sheets

My pleasure credit where its due

Just got to have a play and get it working as an include
im using Namo web editor which is a little dated now but i dont really have the time to learn how to code completely from scratch
Learn a new bit every time i change a page so i will get there in the end :!:

Ok everythings up and running I have copied all my records into a spreadsheet & worked out averages for temperature & precipitation 1/1/2009 to 1/11/2011
On the NOAA setup screen the bit thats got me stumped is the heating threshold & cooling threshold
Could anybody explain what this means & how to calculate the figures
Thanks in advance

Hi,

I've just noticed that my NOAA report on my website has not moved on to November.
i.e. not showing any data nor giving me the (NOV) month button at the top to click on.

can someone confirm if Cumulus generates and uploads the new month automatically
or do I need to generate each new month myself?

If Cumulus does not automatically generate and upload, will this be added into a
future Cumulus update?

Mine rolled over without any problems.

It is a feature built into 1.9.2 (which I note you are using) and the parameters are under Configuration on the Cumulus control panel "NOAA Setup". I can confirm that mine is working automatically and generates the reports correctly.

Perhaps you had an ftp problem on the first upload after midnight. Did the report get created in the reports folder on your PC?

hmm,

I have just looked in my C:\Cumulus\Reports folder and can see that there is a txt file.
NOAAM01111.txt <--- which is the November report file, so it is logging it ok.

It looks like the files didnt get copied onto my server?

Could someone confirm what settings I need to have selected to have this
done automatically, just so I can check I have it all set up OK.

The only thing I can think off why it is not on my server is perhaps my internet connection
was down, when Cumulus went to upload the files and therefore they did not get coppied?

These are my settings on Cumulus;
