Lightweight library for parsing METAR message

METAR is a format for reporting weather information. A METAR weather report is predominantly used by pilots in fulfillment of a part of a pre-flight weather briefing, and by meteorologists, who use aggregated METAR information to assist in weather forecasting.

metar-php's Issues

PHP fatal error in PHP 8

The code uses curly brackets to access byte offsets of a string. PHP does not support curly brackets for this any more and instead requires square brackets. So for the code to work in PHP 8 and in older versions of PHP, just use square brackets.

PHP Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /metar-php-0.1.1/src/Message.php on line 88

Offset errors

Notice: Undefined offset: 3 on line 104
