This corrected the problem.  Thanks Curly!

V2.00 02-Jun-2009 BETA .007

added a code fix suggested by curly: Sometimes the word  " issued"  isn't included in the entry title so it won't explode properly to "Tornado Watch".

added more fixes for handling invalid zones - now checks both input and default zone configuration for both syntax and actual existence of the NOAA zone. If a bogus zone is offered, it does not write any cache files and then displays "Advisory Information Unavailable, invalid advisory zone selected."

Various code cleanup.

I'm using $_REQUEST['summary'] = 'Y'; on a test page (http://www.harpersferry-weather.com/wxadvisory-2009.php). There are no watches, warnings, and advisories.  What is returned is a link "Source: NWS Watches, Warnings or Advisories for zone WVZ053" only.  I was expecting it should return something like "There are no active watches, warnings or advisories for zone WVZ053. "

<?php
$_REQUEST['zone'] = 'WVZ053';
$_REQUEST['inc'] = 'Y';
$_REQUEST['summary'] = 'Y';
$_REQUEST['noprint'] = 1;
include 'rrs-advisory-2009.php';
 if (preg_match("|There are no active|i",$advisory_html) ||
     preg_match("|Advisory Information Unavailable|i",$advisory_html)) {
       echo '<div class="advisoryBoxnoactive">' .$advisory_html .'</div>';
 }else{
       echo '<div class="advisoryBox">' . $advisory_html .'</div>';
 }
?>

Thanks for testing.  
I may have broke something in my last update.  
I will test it some more and let you know.

Edit: found the problem... new beta soon.

[MCHALLIS]

All the prior beta versions had summary mode broken, this one should be better.

V2.00 02-Jun-2009 BETA .008

Fixed all reported issues:
- various issues with summary mode, fixed
- detail page link was not working, fixed

Thanks for testing and reporting errors,
everybody please keep testing. Thanks

Seems to work for me. No errors. Only thing im getting that is odd, is a double advisory box.

Good Job Mike. Thanks for your time on making a fix for this.

[MCHALLIS]

Mark, when I view your source I see this version V 1.09 25-Mar-2008, not the BETA

[ALITTLEweird1]

Just realized that. Fixing that now.

[MCHALLIS]

yea, this is so nice I want to start using it as soon as we test it well. 

[ALITTLEweird1]
