METAR script

mgx_virtual

Hello all,
I have trouble finding a script that would display a line of METAR (Meteorological Aeronautical Report) for a few airports.
http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml Here is a link to where METAR can be retrieved from, and I need a script which would pull info of that site, and put it in a marquee line, which would move along a line on the site. If anyone knowing php and java can help I would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance,

Slobodan.

I'm not sure what data you are trying to pull from that site exactly, but try searching for something called screen scraping, you should be able to find a lot of information about this type of thing there.

Unless METAR runs some kind of a free web service where you can request a php script or something that they run that returns some sort of xml information of what you are looking for. Then search for information on how to use their web service.

Hope this helps

I didn't quite understand what you are saying, what I need is something which can be seen here: www.scgvacc.net The line, on top which is moving, showing METAR for different airports. How to make that, is my question Smile
