Re: GridMap WS - why can't I get species Latin name?

Hi

If I do (in PHP):

$Species = $response['Species'];

print '<p><b>Grid map for '.$Species['Spp'].'</b></p>';

I get nothing. Can anyone explain why?

$Species['CommonName']  on the other hand seems to work (though I've had some odd examples - e.g. "Multi-fruited Cryphaea", which should be "Multi-fruited River Moss" - Latin Name "Cryphaea lamyana".

Thanks

Ah, I see. "Spp" has  changed to "ScientificName"  - sensibly. But this leaves the PHP Tutorial and some of the online documentation out of date.

Hi Alan,

could you tell me which pages (tutorial and documentation) you were looking at and I'll update them.

Thanks, Jon

Hi Jonathan

In the "Annotated PHP Grid Map Tutorial" there is a line :

print '<p><b>Grid map for '.$Species['Spp'].'</b></p>'

The example XML Response given under GridMap also refers to "Spp"

I haven't checked out the examples for other NBN webservices.

Incdientally, I cannot get the datasets to display using the code given in the PHP tutorial fro GridMap - haven't fully looked into it yet, but I woner if soemthing has changed there too?

Thanks,

I've finally got round to making those updates - I'll check for others at some point (I'm sure there are more edits that need doing).

Not all binomial nomenclature is Latin.
