Thermometer.php not displaying correctly. Help for other newbies....

Hi,

First of all I would like to thank Ken and all others involved in designing and offering the weather station Web scripts. I am a newbie to web design but thanks to all of you I have been able to get things up and running. I am still working on the details but I am well on my merry way!

I struggled for many many, hours in the THERMOMETER script file to get the darn temp to display. Finally I found out what happened and would like to share this with others so they don’t make the same mistake as I did.

In the latest provided script at (I believe line 24) it says this:

// you only have to set one of these correctly based on the $useWD selection
// $wxSoftware = ‘WD’ : set the $clientrawfile
// $wxSoftware = ‘VWS’: set the $wflashDir

Well, this is what I did to set the wxsoftware to “WD”

// you only have to set one of these correctly based on the $useWD selection
$wxSoftware = ‘WD’ :

This did not work, and actually I found it to create an error. So…

I needed to change the : (colon) to ; (Semicolon)

$wxSoftware = ‘WD’ ;

This is probably for most programmers very easy. But being a newbie It took a lot of time and swearing to figure it out.
I have seen this in one other script too, but I cant remember which one it was.

Thanks again everyone !!

Dolf
