Ahhh. I see! I was going about something like:
$myarray = $obj->decode_metar();
while (list($key,$val)=each($myarray)) {
if ($key == "wind") {
$windarray = $val;
while (list($key,$val)=each($windarray)) {
echo $key." ---> ".$val."";
}
}
Your solution is much more elegant! The only thing I found so far when
looping through a bunch of metars was I need to add the following to the
print_table($data):
if (!in_array('rel_humidity', $this->properties['exclude']) &&
!empty($rel_humidity)) {
$humidity = $rel_humidity . '%';
}else{
$humidity = "NA";
}
Thanks, Martin!

Actually not. To demonstrate, I've made a very rough print_table() function. It's not very pretty at the moment, but I hope that someone could make it better. For example, you should be able to specify the direction of the table, perhaps someone wants the headings to be in the left column, and then have the data in the right one. To do this, you would have to extend the defaults with something like 'table_direction'. There should also be set and get function for this.

Let's just say we wanted to display (pretty-print) the data like: Station Age (minutes) Wind/Direction Temperature Humidity KFLL 13 15/SE 84 30.01 853% //sorry, it's really muggy down here. ;) Right now it's gonna take quite a bit of editing, no? Or can we easily extract from metar_parser.php and stick the data anywhere we want? Very cool stuff, Martin. -fred

This is already done - everything that isn't catched by the regular expresions are considered a remark. In this case, the problem is, that I just tried to calculate the relative humidity, without checking that botht the temperature and dew-point is present.

Very fast ripping through a dozen or so ids > and spitting 'em back! :) Great! I've also found that it's pretty quick at decoding the METARs. On my P200 MMX it takes about 7-12 miliseconds to decode a METAR. It takes about the same to do a pretty-print. When I use a local MySQL database, it takes about 5-8 miliseconds to retrieve the METAR. It's actually the initial inclusion and parsing of the files that takes longest - 120 miliseconds on my machine. > Also, I did find a proposed XML spec at: > > http://zowie.metnet.navy.mil/~spawar/JMV-TNG/XML/OMF.html > > I think, though, I might build a custom one (XML export) that makes > a bit more sense to me. :) That would be cool - good luck. :-) > -fred > > > > > -- Best regards, Martin Geisler Checkout http://www.gimpster.com for: PHP Weather => Shows the current weather on your webpages.
