I think my understanding of what counties are covered by which NWS 'Alerts' would have avoided most of this thread if I had seen one of the maps from <this NWS page>. I was under a erroneous impression (I think) that I needed to list any and all counties that I wanted 'alerts' for in an array.

Although I still don't see the exact words, it appears that the maps from the NWS County Warning Forecast Area maps will cover exactly the counties I want with only one 'city' named in "$myZC" array in /nws-alerts/nws-alerts-config.php. While the <NWS CWFA map> uses an ID of "MEG", I'm leaving the array set with nothing but "Memphis". They have a contact link, but I may have a difficult time explaining what I want, that would not be the first time this year, month, day [blush] [runoff] [banghead]... Now I'll have to wait for some real NWS alerts to appear...

Not so fast xABD! [lol] Thanks to the debug still being active, when I returned to my wx page I found warning. Although the file and line number pointed to a particular php file, I suspected it was actually a problem about the array thing. I edited that array to have the city name and one zone code. Uploaded, refreshed, and the error report went away. [cheer] I guess that's why there is a comment saying, "LOCATION|CODE...". You need at least one of each, minimum.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system
