Re: [PHP] ? in URLS.
Ok, ill explain my self further. the URL in the script is
http://www.weatherzone.com.au/yourHomePage.jsp?ref=f2eeb571ed
The script uses the URL to see the page and store it locally, then another
script grabs selected data from that page. the stuff after the ? is
essential for the data i want to be displayed, with out that part, the
script only sees the base page without the data i need, so hence it doesn't
grab it. so how do i use the
$_GET['var1']
$_GET['var2']
$_GET['var3']
or urlencode() in the script
this is the script.
?php
//Writing of local file
$rContents = implode( \r\n, file(
'http://www.weatherzone.com.au/yourHomePage.jsp?ref=f2eeb571ed' ) );
if( ($fp = fopen( 'wztest.txt', 'wb+' )) !== false )
{
fputs( $fp, $rContents );
fclose( $fp );
}
?

Hi All.
I am currently playing with sripts, and have come across a problem, that
i
can't slove. (i am a novice - lol).
The script requires a URL to grab data from. The URL has a ? in it, and
testing the script it grabs the base data of the URL, but not the
essential
data i need, which is only brought up with what comes after the ? in the
URL. now i figure it has something to do with the ? in the URL but i
can't
seem to fix it myself.

Re: [PHP] Re: access denied
I don't know exactly what shell access is, but in my quest to do what i was trying to do, i realised its not worth it due to the fact the file i was copying was still being accessed everytime the php file was open, and my aim was to get the particular file from the remote server, copy it onto my server 2 times a day and then the php file that im working on would access the local file instead of the remote file which its doing now, Anyways, thanx for all your help -- Cheers - Simon Angell Canberra ACT www.canberra-wx.com - Member of: Australian Severe Weather Association. www.severeweather.asn.au - This email is virus free.

I have a cron event on my server that grabs the relevant page from the web site soon after it is updated (around 20 past each hour) using lynx -dump url which then pipes the resulting page dump through grep to grab just the line of data that includes my town and dumps that output to a file. The file contains a single line of data that includes all of the information I display plus some other stuff on the page that I don't use. Within my php page I open that small file and load it into an array for display on the page. Obviously there's some error checking in there for various fail conditions and some other stuff too but that's the basics of it. I've looked at doing something similar for forecasts but as I don't (yet) have a need to display them I haven't got around to it. The main advantage of this method is that you're not grabbing the data on every page load but, instead, only when the data on the source web site can reasonably be expected to have changed. delurkAs well as running a business with my wife I work for the BoM and have done for about 18 years now/delurk CYA, Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi. I am having trouble with a PHP script. I am not the one who made this and my knowledge on php is very little. I came across this php script www.canberra-wx.com/bomonster/bomonster01.php which is weather forecasting for a place called Mildura. The file that the PHP gets its info from is here... http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDV17001.txt and if you look down the page you will see the Mildura forecast that the PHP draws its info output from. My Problem is that i want it to work for this file... http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDN10035.txt and i cant work out how to get it going. i have got this far www.canberra-wx.com/bomonster/bomonster1.php (look at the code, the actual outpot doesn't work..thats my problem). The part I want the PHP to do its info output is from A.C.T FORECAST (like from the Mildura in IDV17001.txt) Any help on how to get it to work would be great.

I Have now got it kinda working, but not fully, i changed something i shouldn't have, but fixed that.. //create new string containing data for selected place preg_match(|$placename.*?\\n\\n.*?\\n\\n|s, $content, $temp); (i had it //create new string containing data for selected place preg_match(|$canberra.*?\\n\\n.*?\\n\\n|s, $content, $temp); by accident), but as you see it doesn't get all the forecast Mildura (works) http://www.canberra-wx.com/bomonster/bomonster01.php Canberra (kinda works) http://www.canberra-wx.com/bomonster/bomonster1.php The Problem now is displaying the full description of the forecast and the forecast temps for the next few days...also noticed that the Mildura Forecast is not fully displayed, it is missing 1 work at the end of the forecast description... So How do i change the php to display the Whole description and the next few days of temps. Remember the layout of the source of the info is different http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDV17001.txt is the Mildura forecast... http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDN10035.txt is the Canberra/A.C.T Forecast that i want to use. -- Cheers - Simon Angell Canberra ACT www.canberra-wx.com - Member of: Australian Severe Weather Association. www.severeweather.asn.au - This email is virus free.

I am not the one who made this and my knowledge on php is very little. I came across this php script www.canberra-wx.com/bomonster/bomonster01.php Tried loading this and had too many page errors to figure out what you are doing. www.canberra-wx.com/bomonster/bomonster1.php Ditto for this one. Any help on how to get it to work would be great. First comment is a conceptual one rather than a programming one. I presume you are doing this so that every time someone loads your page they get current information? You do know that the BoM only updates forecasts around three to four times per day don't you? In this case it means that every hit on your page is reloading what is, largely, static information. You would be far better off caching the raw data on your own server and using it from there. Use cron and possibly lynx to grab the raw data that you need on an appropriate schedule (say every six hours or, alternately, around an hour after normal release time for each forecast) and either process it straight away to produce the display information you need or store it locally to be processed each time the page loads. Ideally, you'd create a static version of the page each time you grab new forecast information and just display it. Once you have the data on your server you can process it accordingly which is where the php comes in. The major hurdle is in pattern matching and the like to find the relevant bit. I am currently doing something moderately similar to this on www.outbackqld.net.au (current conditions in top right corner) and it is working just fine with an update every hour or so being cached locally. I'm happy to discuss the issues of doing this further but am not actually using php for anything but the last step - the rest of the solution is done using a combination of cron, lynx and grep.
