=== PHP scripts ===
'''IMPORTANT''' - ''Be aware if you use PHP scripts written by someone else .... These scripts may use "include ..." or "require ..." to bring in variables (such as those for accessing the database) or functions (to do standard actions) or templates (shared headers, navigation menus and footers) or text (any other common content) that is used with a number of pages on author's site. If you don't comment out those references to external scripts, or replace the references with your equivalents, the PHP parser may fail to produce a HTML page and nothing will be available to the browser. Thus you do need a simple understanding of PHP, a PHP book, or the ability to look up PHP instructions on the web if you are to be successful with tailoring these scripts to your site.''

* [http://saratoga-weather.org/legacy-scripts/dayfile.txt Source: Parse dayfile.txt PHP no database] - This script by the late Kevin Reed who ran the web site TNETweather.com, it is a no frills reader written in PHP (change '.txt' into '.php' when you download it) that parses dayfile.txt and produces an output table with headings. The script can be downloaded on Ken True's site from the link quoted, but see the forum reference [http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2419#p20155 Forum: Parse dayfile.txt PHP no database] for the only further information still available.
*[http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5319 'Annual Data Summary - Coloured Values'] - An extensively coloured version of David's original script with some useful discussion on the trade-off between testing values and efficient code here.
