Just used your code (modified for my needs) to send my WX station data to the APRS server. Thanks for posting this for other to use. I'll add a link to my code once it's ready to publish.
My revised code used to transmit weather data.
const APRS_CALLSIGN = "your callsign";
const APRS_PASSCODE = "your passcode";
const APRS_COORD = "2801.61N/08037.90W"; // example lat/lon
const APRS_COMMENT = "DLDesigns";
const APRS_URL = "noam.aprs2.net"; // change to match your location's most suitable APRS server
const APRS_SOCKET = 14580;
$socket = socket_create( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP) ;
if ( $socket )
{
$result = socket_connect( $socket, APRS_URL, APRS_SOCKET );
if ( $result )
{
// Authenticating
$tosend = "user " . APRS_CALLSIGN . " pass " . APRS_PASSCODE . "\n";
socket_write( $socket, $tosend, strlen( $tosend ) );
$authstartat = time();
$authenticated = false;
while ( $msgin = socket_read( $socket, 1000, PHP_NORMAL_READ ) )
{
if ( strpos( $msgin, APRS_CALLSIGN . " verified" ) !== FALSE )
{
$authenticated = true;
break;
}
// Timeout handling
if ( time() - $authstartat > 5 )
break;
}
if ( $authenticated )
{
$tosend = APRS_CALLSIGN . ">APRS,TCPIP*:!" . APRS_COORD . "_000/000g000t" . sendTemp() .
"r000p000P000h" . sendHumd() . "b" . sendPress() . APRS_COMMENT . "\n";
socket_write( $socket, $tosend, strlen( $tosend ) );
echo "<br><br>". "<b>Data sent to APRS Server is: </b>" . $tosend . "<br><br>";
}
}
socket_close( $socket );
function sendTemp()
{
global $value1;
$temp_str = sprintf( "%03d", (int) ( 1.8 * $value1 + 32.0 + 0.5 ) );
return $temp_str;
}
function sendHumd()
{
