Writing Or Recording Javascript Output?	View Content

i have borrowed a java script to produce a weather forecast using data from my weather station.

Quote:
//code to get your variables goes here
//I've assumed they a
// $sager_wind = wind direction
// $sager_rumbo = wind change
// $sager_hpa = Baro value
// $sager_trend = Baro trend
// $sager_nubes = Sky condition

//now we can prepare them for the Sager script

//the sager script wants uppercase, so just to be sure...
$sager_wind = strtoupper($sager_wind);

//has to be uppercase
$sager_rumbo = strtoupper($sager_rumbo);

//allow for either of mB or Hg input
if ($sager_hpa > 50) { $sager_hpa = $sager_hpa * 0.0295300;}

//enumerate the Baro
switch ($sager_hpa) {

case ($sager_hpa > 30.4):
$sager_hpa = 1;
break;

case ($sager_hpa > 30.1):
$sager_hpa = 2;
break;

case ($sager_hpa > 29.9):
$sager_hpa = 3;
break;

case ($sager_hpa > 29.7):
$sager_hpa = 4;
break;

case ($sager_hpa > 29.5):
$sager_hpa = 5;
break;

case (sager_hpa > 29.2):
$sager_hpa = 6;
break;

case (sager_hpa > 28.:
$sager_hpa = 7;
break;

case (sager_hpa > 28.0):
$sager_hpa = 8;
break;

}

//enumerate the Baro trend
if (strcasecmp($sager_trend, 'Rising Rapidly') == 0) { $sager_trend = 1; }
if (strcasecmp($sager_trend, 'Rising Slowly') == 0) { $sager_trend = 2; }
if (strcasecmp($sager_trend, 'Steady') == 0) { $sager_trend = 3; }
if (strcasecmp($sager_trend, 'Falling Slowly') == 0) { $sager_trend = 4; }
if (strcasecmp($sager_trend, 'Falling Rapidly') == 0) { $sager_trend = 5; }

//enumerate the Sky condition
if (strcasecmp($sager_nubes, 'Clear') == 0) { $sager_nubes = 1; }
if (strcasecmp($sager_nubes, 'Partly Cloudy') == 0) { $sager_nubes = 2; }
if (strcasecmp($sager_nubes, 'Mostly Overcast') == 0) { $sager_nubes = 3; }
if (strcasecmp($sager_nubes, 'Overcast') == 0) { $sager_nubes = 4; }
if (strcasecmp($sager_nubes, 'Rain') == 0) { $sager_nubes = 5; }

?>

<html>


<script src="sager_cast.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<body>

<br />
Sager =
<span id="forecast">forecast will appear here</span>

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

</script>

</body>
</html>
this basically turns my PHP variables intoa forecast by using the script above and also sager_cast.js (which crunches the numbers).

my question is how can i record the output to a text file

ie. this bit

Quote:
<br />
Sager =
<span id="forecast">forecast will appear here</span>
i know how to run a cron job on my host server but whenever i try to use php to geta at it, it fails.

i understand that php and JS and side server / client server / host server different, but surely there must be a way to record the output using my host and the script that i have.

my goal is to catch the forecast every 15 mins (with a time stamp) and then look back at the (text) file to see how it has changed.

can anyone please help?

one suggestion is to turn the number crunching JS script into php so i can 'get at it' but there are thousands of lines of code!

thanks in advance, and hello from a newbie poster!
