5 Day forecast and the 'Value of the Rep Object'

[Russ Hore]

I am using the 5 day forecast data and it is mostly working apart from getting the time offset for the readings.

The API Docs say "The value of the Rep object($ in the JSON representation) denotes the number of minutes after midnight UTC on the day represented by the Period object in which the Rep object is found."

How do you get the value of the Rep object?

I am using PHP and the rest of the code look something like this;

$obj->SiteRep->DV->Location->Period[$the_day]->Rep[0]->V)

Obviously;

$obj->SiteRep->DV->Location->Period[$the_day]->Rep[0]->$)

does not work. What am I missing?

Hi,

I've already had to tackle this.

Each element of the Rep array is actually a member of the standard class in PHP, which I isolated as the variable $repStd
I then accessed the $ value as follows:

            $classProperties = get_object_vars( $repStd );
            foreach( $classProperties  as $key => $value )
            {
                    switch ( $key )
                    {
                     case '$':

Many thanks Liz, worked a treat.
