This is Weird

[Kingy]

In my php irc bot i have made a weather script for it, but the weird thing is, when i output it into the browser it appears as

 

Palmerston North, New Zealand Forecast

 

Temperature: 75 °F (24 °C )

Humidity: 40%

Wind: 9 mph (15 km/h) West

 

but using the same thing when i output it in irc it comes out as

 

Palmerston North, New Zealand Forecast

Temperature: 75 °F

Humidity: 40%

Wind: 9 mph

 

as u can see i get the stupid   and °F but it also cuts off half of what is being outputted? is this a php fault or irc?

Basically your IRC client doesn't know how to interpret those special characters.

 

  = space

$#176; = degrees

 

You might be better served to just have it say the word instead of using the symbols.

 

°F = degrees Farenheit

   = try using just a keyboard spacebar

Well it gets the space and deg sign straight off the weather website, so what would be the best way to go about it?

thats the thing it gets it off the website like that.

if sent to a browser it will look fine, sent anywhere else ya will see the actual page coding without interpretation.

 

use htmlspecialchars_decode function to convert it into a displayable src

that didnt work but thanks for the suggestion never actually thought about it

 

i have simply made a str_replace which is doing the job but the problem i have now is... its still only showing half the line.

 

echo "Temperature: $tempfar($tempcel)\n";

echo "Humidity: $humid\n";

echo "Wind: $windmph($windkph) $winddir";

 

as u can see it should echo more than the one variable, but it outputs..

 

Temperature: 63°F

Humidity: 78%

Wind: 2mph

 

where it should be

Temperature: 63°F(17°C)

Humidity: 78%

Wind: 2mph(6km/h) NW

 

why is it doing this, if i put everything on seperate lines it works

[Kingy]

I still can't seem to get it all showing on one line??
