ImportCumulusFile

This is a PHP script designed to run on your web server and will import Cumulus log files into a MySQL database table on your server. 
= Applicability to Cumulus 1 and MX =
This script was originally written for Cumulus 1, and all versions (except 4.x and later) will work with Cumulus 1. Please only use the latest version (currently 4.x) of the script with Cumulus MX. 
Please be aware that for Cumulus MX the daily and monthly tables in the database can also be updated with rows for past dates by using ExportMySQL.exe. For information on how Cumulus MX updates the database tables using that instead of the script on this page please see the admin interface article.
=Requirements=
The web server must have..
*PHP
*MySQL
*A My SQL database, username and password
*a Cumulus Log already uploaded
This script will create a table if no table exists for the selected log file. 
Be aware that as the schema varies for different script versions, if a table already exists it must already have the number of columns in the table to match the number of columns populated in the version of the script you choose to use. 
It does not matter if the table has more column than the number of fields in the Cumulus log file, because from version 1.3(b) of the script all schemas only prohibit nulls in the columns that are present in log file for all cumulus versions. Columns for fields only present in newer Cumulus versions permit nulls, so any columns where no filed is available will be populated with a null.
The requirements state that you must use MySQL, because the syntax used to specify the required type for each column in the CREATE syntax is specific to that database. If all you are doing is updating an existing table, then the code will work for other database types as well because the INSERT syntax works with most databases accepting SQL instructions.
=IMPORTANT NOTE FOR VERSION 4.0+=
Designed for MX.
Version 4.0 changes the SQL table structures from version 2 & 3. If you are currently using version 2 or 3 and wish to upgrade, then you should DROP the existing tables and let the version 4 script recreate them, or alter the table structures to add the new columns.
= Schema for version 4.0 and later =

== Monthly table ==
It has been pointed out by "water01" in the support forum, that the specifier for the RG-11 field should match the other rainfall fields, and allow 2 decimal places for those using inches as their unit for rainfall, but this script (checked at version 4.1) restricts that field to just one decimal place.

= IMPORTANT NOTE FOR VERSION 2.x and 3.x =
Designed for Cumulus 1.
Version 2.0 changes the SQL table structures from version 1.x. If you are currently using version 1.x and wish to upgrade, then you should DROP the existing tables and let the version 2 script recreate them. If this is unacceptable DO NOT UPGRADE, stay with version 1.x
The new table formats use a combined date/time field instead of separate, this makes constructing queries much simpler, it is worth making the change.
Of course if you do change, then any existing queries you are using will also have to be rewritten - take this into account. It may be possible to create VIEWs of the new tables that mimic the old table format, and for you to use those views with your existing queries, that is an exercise for you!
You could of course run 1.x and 2.x in parallel whilst you made the switch over gradually. Just alter the table names in v2 of the script slightly to avoid name collisions.
= Schema for versions 2.0 to 3.0 =
== Dayfile table (old) ==
The database table that mirrors dayfile.txt (with its fields as at Cumulus version 1.9.4) has the following schema at version 1.3 to 3.2 inclusive (column names and their format), for earlier Cumulus 1 versions with fewer fields, the schema will also work because all columns after 'TotWindRun' can default to null values:

== Monthly table (2.0 version) ==
For versions below 2.0, the first combined column as shown with both date and time did not exist, instead there was one column for date and one column for time.
As pointed out by Water01 in the support forum, the RG-11 field in the code and in the schema below is wrong, it should have 2 decimal places for those using inches like the other rainfall fields.

=Installation=
*Download the PHP script ... there are download links beside each version in the version history below.
*Edit the downloaded file using a text editor -- there are five entries to be edited
:servername, username, password, database and security key
:these are documented in the file at the top.
:There are three further variables to consider and may require editing. Look at the text file you are importing. How is each field separated/delimited? How is the date delimited? How is a decimal number shown? In the UK there is nothing else needs changed. If for example your delimiter is a semi-colon and a dash then change the lines $field_delimiter and $date_delimiter accordingly.
:if your decimal separator is a comma this also needs to be changed in the file using the $decimal_separator variable
*save the file as ImportCumulusFile.php (or whatever name you prefer) and upload it to your web server which is where it should be run.
*you will also need to upload any files it reads to your web server.
=Using the script=
Currently you can import two file types from Cumulus -- the dayfile and the Monthly log files.
Firstly decide the table to be populated in your SQL database. If the table does not exist the script will create it. Typically you have one table for the dayfile, and one or more for the
Monthly Logs. You could import every monthly log file into one large SQL table. 
If you re-import existing data the script will update the data in the table so you can run the import every day on the same file, dayfile, for example
You must pass several options with your URL...
(They can be in any order but the first one must start with ? other with &)
*type=xxxx
::this must be either the phrase dayfile, monthly or realtime
*file=xxxxx
::the location on your webserver, relative to this script location, of your Cumulus File
::example file=dayfile.txt or file=../data/Jan10log.txt
*table=xxxx
::the table within SQL to import the data. If it does not exist the script will create it
*key=xxxxx
::A security key, unique to you, to pass as part of the URL. This stops others from running the script on your server if the do not know the key. 
An example URL...
 http://www.myserver.com/ImportCumulusFile.php?type=dayfile&key=letmein&file=./data/dayfile.txt
=The result=
If all goes well it will create or update the table with the relevant data and report back the word "Done". If the script fails there are a number of outputs it could return to explain the problem.
=Further automation=
Using the above script, in combination with the Toolbox you could set an automated FTP rule to upload the dayfile.txt from Cumulus each day at 00:15 and then run an HTTP remote command (this script) to import it into the SQL database
Version 2.0 of the script can also be invoked from a command line. So for example importing the realtime file from the command line would look like this:
 php importcumulusfilev2-0.php file=realtime.txt type=realtime key=secretKey retainVal=7 retainUnit=day
This allows you to run the script as cron job on a Linux server, or as a scheduled task on a Windows server.
Version 4.3 of the script allows you to automate the generation of the monthly log file name rather than passing it as a variable.
You need to edit the following entries to enable this feature...
 $auto_month = false; // True: generate from date, false: read from params
 $month_file_dir= './data/'; // Directory where monthly log file is stored
