The real error is Warning: file_get_contents(…clientraw.txt):
So there is no data to be read, if you meant that clientraw.txt is in the root is should be …/clientraw.txt
But that is not correct either as http://www.weather911.net/clientraw.txt does not exists (404 error) or can not be read.
When there is no data at all, all kind of errors and warnings can occur. Also the array_key_exist which was checking if a certain field existed.
So for now please reset the location of clientraw.txt to “./demodata/clientraw.txt” then there will be no errors messing things up.
Then you can change ONE setting at a time => save after every change => test => only continue when all remains OK

That’s where I’m confused. WD generates a clientraw.txt file right? I assume this gets uploaded to my host, but I can’t find the file and thus the path to direct to
There is far far to much data that WD can generate and upload. There is a youtube movie and a wiki about what to select and how to upload. Then WD uploads only what you want/need.

Can get temp, barometer and webcam image to work, but not seeing any wind data or local forecast, current conditions. It’s still showing demo for those. When I open the wuweatherupdate.txt file, it is blank. Do I have to use darksky for conditions and forecast?
I never had an API key from WU so I think that explains why the text file is blank. Wondering if I’ll be able to get one after Feb 15. Seems like a lot up in the air.
Is there a way to use WD to provide 5 day forcst instead of using darksky or metar? I see an option in settings if I’m using clientraw, but not sure where to get the actual frcst file info from. Is it WD?
All uploaders to WU should be able to get a NEW-API-key. But what they can retrieve and if there will be scripts to use the key is unclear.

[b]The forecast[/b] can only come from DarkSky at the moment. You need a free key for that. The limits are also very generous, 1000 calls/day
The current conditions can come from DarkSky, using the same API-key
Or from METAR using another free key
Or WD can read the METAR for you and the clientraw.txt will contain that information.
Got it all fixed. Looks good. Just need to get the historical data working so I can see the trends. I setup mysql db on my server, but do I import the util SQL file from pwsWD? Thanks !
why does dark theme not stay dark all the time? I notice in my web browser that during refresh it changes to the bright theme, then I have to back and switch it again
Still can’t figure out how to setup historical data. Am I supposed to setup the mysql settings in WD as well as the database and table setup on my ftp server?
In easyweather you define the most used theme, in your case “dark”. If a visitor changes that to light, that temporary change is stored in a cookie in his/her browser. Some users set the use of cookies in their browser to false, so the temporary setting is not kept between refreshes
You can not do that with a setting. Only by changing the scripts themselves. Be aware that all other links to menu items are lost then also
3. Can I use a tablet to display the above link and have it display in landscape mode, similar to desktop appearance?
It should always display exactly the same way as on a desktop when you hold the tablet in landscape mode. It can switch to “phone mode” when holding the tablet vertically. There is a minimum width for phone-type-devices, below that width only the important blocks are shown one below each other.
With “historical data.” do you mean: the graphs? They get their data either from your own WU data. Or from the data-table on your webserver.
Using the webserver to store historical data correctly, you should also run the cron-jobs: every 10 minutes plus just before and just after midnight.
Storing the information in the database-table and generating your own daily, monthly and yearly .csv files is described in:

P.S. Now your scripts seems to work, you should install the updates also. http://wd34.weather-template.com/ ==> Downloads ==> Third row Updated scripts up to 2019-01-19
In this link http://wd34.weather-template.com/documentation/WD34-SQL-2019-01.pdf, it says to import the file w34_util_weatherstation_mysql. I don’t have that file in pwsWD. I only have w34_util_weatherstation_sql. I can see my table has been created in phpmyadmin but it is empty. In WD when I run mysql, it says “no database” selected. So I selected the database, but the List of Tables field is blank, so I can’t select “weatherstation” as the table. See pic.
@jzinckgra: Your screenshots would be easier to capture/post and a lot easier to read if you use the Windows Snipping Tool* which is included in Win 7/8/10. Also .png is usually a better format to use for graphical pages than .jpg which uses data compression optimized for real photographic images.
Now called Snip 'n Sketch in latest Win 10 I’m told…
