I am using the standard skin on WeeWX 3.8.0.  I am trying to include a link 
to a remote image, but the filename changes each day.  I have attempted 
adding it directly to index.html.tmpl using PHP (I know, not the correct 
location):

https://twc.tamu.edu/weather_images/rawsfcst/rawsfcst<?php echo date(Ymd); 
?>.png


But it does not look like there is a PHP parser.  Next I added it into the 
Extras section on skin.conf using direct python replacement, but it does 
not parse correctly and spits out the actual code in the final HTML 
document:

https://twc.tamu.edu/weather_images/rawsfcst/rawsfcst' + 
datetime.strftime.today().strftime('%Y%m%d') + '.png


Lastly I tried python using string replacement, and this seems to break the 
skin.conf file:

skin.conf Code:

fire_date = datetime.strftime.today().strftime('%Y%m%d')
fire_img = "https://twc.tamu.edu/weather_images/rawsfcst/rawsfcst%s.png"; % 
(fire_date)


Error:

reportengine: Failed to read skin configuration file 
/etc/weewx/skins/Standard/skin.conf for report StandardReport: Parse error 
in value at line 17.


Does anyone have suggestions on what code to use?  Or if I should be adding 
this in a different file?  The file on the other site is always 
"rawsfcstYYYYMMDD.png" and I just need to parse out the date in the report.
