The advforecast2.php file has been updated to handle forecasts for multiple locations.

This is very useful with micro-climates in your area or if you want to expand the forecast range.
It can be used as standalone page or for templates like the Carter Lake set.

Available at Saratoga-Weather.org
Standalone use: http://saratoga-weather.org/scripts-carterlake.php#advforecast
Template use: http://saratoga-weather.org/wxtemplates/updates.php

Thanks for any help on this, Doug

Yep… simple. The default $NWSforecasts array in the distribution is actually inside a multi-line comment (deliberately) so it would work with all the single-forecast configurations without change. To enable the multi-forecast inside the script (when you aren’t using the AJAX/PHP template set), just change

/*
$NWSforecasts = array(

to

//*
$NWSforecasts = array(

and the array as you have it will be defined, and your dropdown list will be produced :slight_smile:

Best regards,
