I don't have any examples, but the client wants me to set up the website to retrieve meteorological data from a Davis Weather Monitor II, Perception, Weather Wizard or a Davis Vantage Pro Station.
In order for me to view the code that will be downloaded, I will have to install, configure and build the program. I might need to have software to convert the codes into a readable page to then be inserted in the html pages. I don't want to put time into this part unless it will be worth my time and effort in order to say yes to my client. The client is out of town right now, but I will need to give him an answer in 2 days.
I will need to have the code inserted into html pages to display like graphs. I have copied some examples that I will have to make the code produce and display:
The client wants the website similar to the site where I have downloaded the main script for the weather program:
http://meteo.othello.ch/
I have completely checked out the above site, and the website my client wants to have is going to have just as much detailed information as the above site.

Hi Jan, can you post an example of the ftp weather text file for us to look at? If its just a simple forecast you can easily build an ASP or PHP page with a case statement to decide what to display in the page.
Ie
<% Dim weather
'read the file with fso the get the txt for a key word eg weather = Fine
Select Case weather Case "Fine" weather = "<img src='/fine.gif'>" Case "Hot" weather = "<img src='/Hot.gif'>" Case "Cold" weather = "<img src='/Cold.gif'>" End Select
'in the page
Response.Write weather
%>
Regards

Subject: [wdvltalk] Weather Forecast updates to html
Hi list
I have a client that receives codes from the weather forecast office by ftp. Each code is assigned to a certain .gif image and text description. Using those codes, I will need to update the HTML page with the weather forecast. The update code can be in Perl or any other language.
That is all the information I have right now. I have never tried something like this before, and know that I will have to download a lot of software (meteor script, etc.) just to be able to check it out. I don't know if it will be easy or difficult, so I'm wondering if anyone on this knows what will be involved and can advise if it's too much work, or any other advice regarding this task.
