Auto-Readout SNR levels from your Dreambox

This PHP script automatically lists all received SNR levels from the transponders of the current satellite. These are the results for my place in North Germany.

You need a connected Dreambox and the "services" file on your harddisc.

generally for PHP scripts: Install and launch XAMPP
start the Apache server with the Xampp Control Panel
download the services file via FTP (DM7000: var/tuxbox/config/enigma/) or with Dreamboxedit (FTP, Receive Files from Dreambox)
copy the script below, open it with a text editor
modify the first lines with satellite position and path to the services file
and save the script it in the xampp/htdocs folder as snr.php
the Dreambox must be in TV or radio mode (not HDD or inside the menu)
now you should be able to execute the file by typing http://localhost/snr.php into your browser. Processing can take up to 1 minute.

And this is the script:
