    For both sets of files, you ** may ** need to do the following:

    1.  Acquire and install a copy of NuSoap.

        Try http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/index.php to download a copy.

    2.  Change the location of NuSoap in the code to its local path.

        change the following line to reflect your local setup:
 
        require_once('/var/www/html/nusoap.php'); 

    3.  Change "localhost" to "www.weather.gov" in the following line of code:

        $soapclient = new soapclient('http://localhost/forecasts/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLserver.php');
