WD NOAA HTML PHP Parsing Script
The following code snippet, shows how I took the default WD generated NOAA daily report and parsed it into a formatted table. I then intergraded it into my own web pages using my own style sheet settings.
The code below is provided AS-IS and requires that you have PHP on your website, and that you are uploading from your WD workstation the dailynoaareport.htm file to a known location (you need to modify the path in the script to find it).
