FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package noaa

Build Status

Overview

This library provides a PHP client for NOAA's forecast and current weather services.

Current weather data is provided by NOAA's XML Feeds of Current Weather Conditions. Forecast data is provided by the NOAA's National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) REST Web Service. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a United States federal agency, so the data they provide is only available for US locations.

Requirements

Current Weather Conditions

To find your current weather conditions you'll first need to know a local NOAA Weather Observation Station ID. You can search for your local station ID here: http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/. There is also a list of stations in XML if you'd like to do something with the station data: http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/index.xml. Here is some sample code for getting the current weather conditions:

You can find more sample code in the example/current.php file.

Forecast

A latitude and longitude are required to retrieve forecast data. There are many APIs that will convert addresses and zip codes into latitude and longitude, but those conversions are outside the scope of this library. The data provided by the API is 24-hour summarized data from 6am-6pm (local time for the supplied location). The precipitation probabilities provided are 12-hour summaries for day and night, running from 6am-6pm and 6pm-6am respectively. Here is some sample code for getting the 7-day forecast starting from the current time:

You can find more sample code in the example/forecast.php file.

Nightly Forecasts

For forecasts made at night (after 6pm local time), the first day in the forecast result will be for "tomorrow." The doesStartAtNight() method will tell you if a forecast is a "night time" forecast:

There will also be one item of information that's still of value for "today," and that is the precipitation probability from 6pm-6am. That probability can be retrieved like so:

Caching

NOAA suggests that consumers of their API ask for new data only once per hour. This library offers a simple to use FileCache class that only requires a writable directory in which to store the cached data. It will handle cache invalidation on its own based on file modification time. The directory you set must exist and be writable.

If you prefer to use a different cache other than the supplied FileCache it's easy to create your own. Just create a class that implements the \noaa\weather\cache\Cache interface. Use the setCache() Configuration method to set your own custom caching class. See the noaa/weather/cache/ArrayCache.php file for an example.

To instantiate a Forecaster object without a caching mechanism (not recommended!):
