Hello, I am having a small issue which I think is just a simple problem but I can't seem to solve it. I have a small simple script that parses a text file of data sorts it through an array and creates variables to display the data in a table.
Problem I am having is when I call the script inside the page for it to be displayed with include statement it is showing duplicate data from a single variable. In this case $tnumber[1]. As you can see from this screen shot it shows "Tracking 1 active thunderstorms" twice.
If I call the script directly in the browser it displays it correctly as shown below. So I am not sure as to why when I include the script in my page it shows duplicate data or if there is something I am doing wrong.
Here is the code that parses the text file then creates the table to display the data. The variable that is being duplicated is on line 93 but I don't know why.
<?php
// The TRACreportshort takes Nexstorm's full TRACreport and shortens it to a more
// managable size for displaying.
//
// It chops up the vital storm cell info, places it in arrays, and redisplays it as we wish
//
// Set some default values
$measure = "mi"; // km, nm, or mi depending on your Nexstorm measurements
// Load the TRACreport and remove carriage returns, change the word 'no change' to 'steady'
$trac = implode('', file('lightning/nexstorm/TRACReport.txt'));
$tracnopara = preg_replace( '|\n|', '=', $trac );
$tracnopara = preg_replace( '|No change|', 'Steady', $tracnopara );
// Intialize values
$tracreport = "";
$tnumber = 1;
$alertflag = 0;
$tracwarning = "";
// If there aren't any thunderstorms, then say it
