What script to use the xml-file?

[WS Grave]

I'm not used to work with xml, but could anyone tell me how to convert a line in the all-sensors.xml into actual data for me to put on my site?

I guess it's something like this:

Code: Select all

<?php 
$dataUrl = 'http://domainname/all-sensors.xml'; 
$data = simplexml_load_file($dataUrl); 

and than what???

} 
?>

Appreciate any help !

I would do it the other way round...

Give your html-page to Meteohub as a template and let Meteohub fill in values and loading the resulting HMTL up to your web server.

It seems that one minute the data are filled in OK, but the other minute not and I get to see the code instead of data for some.

That's why I was looking for the xml-way to do it.

I would prefer the html-way however :)

PS.
Could this be due to low "Hold time for live data"?
I had it set to 60 seconds, but it should be higher?

It can be handy to include

[blank_the_unknown]

somewhere near the top of your html file. That tells Meteohub to just leave a blank if it can't provide a substitute for a particular value.

60 seconds is very tight. Just one missed reading for a lot of sensor types? Mine is set to 300, which is I think the default?

Thanks for that tip Skyewright.

But I probably found it.
I've set the "Hold time for live data" to the original 300 seconds, and since than all data is filled in OK.

I had it set to 60 seconds, and mostly the UV gave an error, which is because of the 1.5 minute update I guess...

Actually, I forgot to mention that there is also a newer, fancier, technique available too. Maybe you've already spotted it?

With the newer technique you can specify what you want to appear if the value is not available, e.g.

[actual_rain0_rate_mm:-]

would each give either the current actual rain rate, or a dash if actual_rain0_rate_mm wasn't available.
