Input accepted.

Option offset:

Due to a bug in PHP, on some systems the time reported may be incorrect. If you experience this, you specify the offset here. For example, if your times generated are 1 hour too early (so METARs appear an hour older than they are), set this option to be +1.

Input accepted.

Option fetch_method: Use the file() function Use the fsockopen() function

PHP Weather can fetch the METAR reports from the NWS using one of two different methods: using either the file() or the fsockopen() function. You should start with file() and then change it to fsockopen() if you discover that file() has been disabled or you need to use a proxy server.

Input accepted.

Database Options

These options deal with the database. PHP Weather can use a database for caching the METARs it retrieves. This is very nice, since it takes at least a second or two to fetch a METAR from the National Weather Service.

Show options.

Option db_type: No database at all A MySQL database A PostgreSQL database A DBA database The ADOdb wrapper library

PHP Weather can use several kinds of databases.

Input accepted.

Show options.

Option mark_begin:

This string will be placed in front of all the changable parts of the output. If you don't want this to happen, then just use an empty string. Other good choices include <i>, <font color="red">, etc.

Input accepted.

Option mark_end:

This string is placed after all the changable parts. You should make sure that it closes any tags you've opened in mark_begin.

Input accepted.

Option icons_path:

The path to the directory that stores the icons used in the output. You should set this to the absolute path from the server root if you need to use PHP Weather from several different locations on the server.

Input accepted.

Option reverse_dir: Normal Reversed

The wind direction arrows will normally point in the same direction as the wind blows (so a wind direction of 45° will result in an arrow pointing up to the right) but if you want them reversed, then that's possible too.

Input accepted.

Option exclude: Leave out the time part Leave out the wind part Leave out information about runways

You can disable some of the output produced. If you're not interested in information about runways-visibility, then select it in this list. You can select several options at once by holding down Ctrl while clicking on the option.

Input accepted.

This is a configuration file bases on your answers above:

You should copy the above configuration to a file called defaults.php in the root directory of your PHP Weather installation. It's very important that the lines with <?php and ?> are the very first and very last, respectively. There should be no blank lines outside these two tags.
