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 bomradar

BOMRadar

This package fetches images from the public ftp server of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology for their RADAR service for repackaging onto your own website.

Installation

Installation is very easy with composer:

composer require cognito/bomradar

If you don't have composer, download the Radar.php file and include it into your project.

Setup

Setup is simple, go to the Radar site http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/radar/ and choose a radar to fetch. Next get the radar size, e.g. 64, 128 or 256km radius and take note of the URL.

For example the 128km Brisbane Loop is IDR663.

We use just the number part, so in this case 663.

Cron to get the images

Set up a regular call through a cron or similar every 10 minutes, to sync and clean the local files.

<?php
// Call this every 10 minutes through a cron or similar
$radar = new \BOMRadar\Radar('663');
$radar->sync(__DIR__ . '/assets', 2);

The sync() command takes the full path to the folder to store the files, and the number of hours to keep the files there for. Set the number of hours to 0 to keep them forever.

If you make the number of hours 1, you will continually download some files as the BOM seems to keep files on their ftp for just under two hours.

Output

To output the radar to the browser, you can use the built-in renderer or make up your own.

<?php
// Call this to render the radar to the browser
$radar = new \BOMRadar\Radar('663');
echo $radar->render(__DIR__ . '/assets', '/assets', 6);
