amount

Hi, I'm trying to set up a messageboard/blog where people can log surfing sessions. As part of this I would like to have a generic form where people can enter their comments as well as give a specific time of their session. With the given time, I would like to have a script that would automatically retrieve data from an NOAA buoy feed (particularly, this one: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/41002.spec ) and have the relevant data pasted onto the text of their blog entry. For example, if somebody went surfing at 1:00 PM on February 16, I would want the script to access the buoy feed, find the relevant line (for the time) and column (for the category, such as SwH for "Swell Height") and past text to the post (such as: "Swell Height = x"). This is also in the very early development stages, so I'm not sure what kind of bulletinboard/blog software I should use (preferably something free!). I'm a bit of a newbie at this, so any information (and simple language) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch! --Andre
