broken weather underground forecast?

[Sadgit]

just today I have started getting
Warning: Division by zero in /xxxxxxxxx/weather/WU-forecast.php on line 764

http://www.marton-weather.co.uk/

and I haven't changed anything in weeks, have WU changed their code recently?
If I go to the forecast I get the same
http://www.marton-weather.co.uk/wxforecast.php

but the link still works fine
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/fin ... IMIDDLES24


Any ideas please?
Cheers

Update to V2.06 of WU-forecast.php -- WeatherUnderground did a bit of page format changing on 13-Oct-2014 and that broke V2.05 of the script.

V2.06 doesn't work ? http://apeldoorn.tk/weer/wxforecast.php?lang=en

[Sadgit]

it works for me thanks, but on the index outlook top right, it now shows the "today" instead of "tonight" and further down and on the forecast pages, it shows "today", "today", Tomorrow", "tomorrow" "friday", friday" instead of having the work night when it is the forecast for the night.

Sure I did something to make that work before, not major just a minor issue.

WU-forecast.php V2.07 - 15-Oct-2014 is now available.

It seems that WeatherUnderground snuck in some ISO-8859-1 characters in station names instead of converting them to UTF-8 as required by the JSON json_decode() function. The script now spots that issue, runs the JSON through a utf8_encode() function and checks it for UTF-8 goodness.

This issue was causing 'no forecasts' for some international sites that have names with letters with diacritical marks (like umlaut, ring, cedilla, etc).

The period names in the forecast are all from WU and the JSON they produce. The script just shows their text since WU-forecast.php doesn't do language translation -- it relies on WU to do that and put the correct period names in the chosen language.

Best regards,
Ken

Wow, how come it only started to fail for me today?

Anyway, I will try the new version.

I really should keep a list of mods that I make.
I make some slight mods to cater for 10 day and to space out WeatherUnderground (I guess, unless you have changed that) but I notice that despite setting maxwidth and maxicons up front, you override them later on. I must remember that I have to change them too.

As with Sadgit, I have a problem on the index page with Today Today (sounds like a premature Annie song) showing instead of Today Tonight. Oh forget that, perhaps it was a cache problem or Weather Underground even as the 10 day forecast shows as Thursday/Thursday night, Tomorrow/Tomorrow, Saturday/Saturday, etc..

Thnks Ken. I am still getting the problem I had before.. any ideas please?

Hi

I have the same error in Danish no "nat" on the page, nat = night

Indeed, I have noticed the same situation where the name of the days are duplicated whereas the forecasts are different.

So, rather than bothering Ken, I have looked at the code, found the location where the variable '$nowdaytime' is located and added a few lines of code to take care of the missing 'tonight/night' words (it is my belief that Ken has been quite busy having to modify, if not to completely rewrite, the two scripts handling the forecasts and radar information from Environment Canada).

Hi

I have found the problem why the night is missing in line 674

foreach(array('day','night') as $dnpart) { Change to

foreach(array('day','Night') as $dnpart) {

Then the night is back but now the forecast and the picture is missing for the night
someone can fix this?

As I said above

The period names in the forecast are all from WU and the JSON they produce. The script just shows their text since WU-forecast.php doesn't do language translation -- it relies on WU to do that and put the correct period names in the chosen language.

The issue with day/night names is the fault of Wunderground .. their JSON has a bug in it for 'night' in the title: field (which is used by the script for the period name in the selected language). WU-forecast doesn't do translation.. WU does. There is not a good (general) solution to this issue except to have WU fix their own JSON. Yes, individuals may choose to modify the script to produce the missing item, but it would be for a single-language and not applicable to both standalone/template users worldwide.

There are other quirks with the JSON that cause issues, particularly around the times the forecast is rolling over to a new day on the WU site, and I can't fix that either

Best regards,
Ken
