I can't say what kind of reliability you're going to want, as most free hosts are not that reliable, but I haven't had many problems with 000webhost. There are a couple of things that you have to configure that I suggest you do after installation. If you want those instructions, search "000webhost" or "000webhost.com" here and it should pull up my post.

No problem; I love doing this kind of stuff! You should be able to bring your domain over, but you'll need to have that domain point to the two 000webhost nameservers: ns01.000webhost.com --AND-- ns02.000webhost.com You might have to call customer service to switch them for you. As for 000webhost, it should come with both. You should get a webserver with PHP and the ability to have 2 MySQL databases when you create your site. You'll need to create a database and user for phpVMS, and make sure they are associated with full priveleges. I'[m not sure where you came up with the two options, but the registration form at http://www.000webhost.com/order.php doesn't seem to have that. Both servers should be available to you right away via your cPanel. You shouldn't need to configure PHP at all.

That's not all that hard either. Check what Nabeel already added into the template for the pilot list: /* To include a custom field, use the following example: <td> <?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID'); ?> </td> For instance, if you added a field called "IVAO Callsign": echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'IVAO Callsign'); */ You can find this in the your core/templates/pilots_list.tpl.

Use the custom fields option in the administration panel under Site & Settings/ Profile Fields.

You really don't need to know much PHP to get phpVMS running. You do need to know a thing or two about web hosting and computers, however. 1) Find a PHP and MySQL hoster. I suggest 000webhost as it makes it easy to maintain and you don't have to pay unless you expand A LOT. Just remember to disable the tracking code at http://members.000webhost.com/analytics.php in order to keep everything in worker order before you start. 2) Use the Site Restore feature to upload the phpVMS package to your 000webhost account. It doesn't count against their pesky FTP quota. 3) Use the online FTP client to chmod the correct folders and files. If the website complains about "Access Denied," make those files writable as well. Removing the set_time_limit on the admin page will also help 000webhost users. 4) Run the installation wizard per instructions. You're good to go!

Creating a fork/mod might be another option if there is enough demand- the military system is just different enough to warrant that kind of project. It might be another thing to add to my to-do list.

Sure can. Once logged into PHPMyAdmin, browse (select) the table you want to export (schedules, right?) and then click the export tab toward the top. The rest is pretty self-explanatory; you can use the template file found in the administration panel as a guide for the format (i.e. comma field seperation, and you'll need to get rid of two or three fields)

Ah, ok. Thank you. It helps to know what it does and does not support; it's hard to tell when you broke the search function on your primary development computer...

Nabeel, I've been working on a solution to the mass-mailing feature, but I need to know if Util::SendEmail supports sending multiple e-mails (i.e. separated by a comma like Outlook or GMail, for example).

Oh- make sure when you're using 000webhost to disable their analytics code- It causes major issues with AJAX and sometimes with PHP. Make sure you set it to disabled for your site at http://members.000webhost.com/analytics.php

Looks like it's related to creating new airport entries while it imports the routes. In the meantime, enter the problem airports manually and see if that helps. EDIT: Well, the easiest way is above. What PHP version are you running? It sounds like a configuration issue to me, and sometimes that is best resolved by trying another configuration or version of PHP. Gotta love PHP bugs.

Excellent work so far! I would like to see a dispatch release generator though- something I can print and then use to take notes on and stuff like that- and calculating fuel and max payload and all that wonderful stuff that most of us dread. United Virtual's (www.united-virtual.com) spreadsheet does this well. All you would need is a couple of extra optional fields on the aircraft screen and a lot of annoying math to do when you generate the page. Maybe I'll look into building the modification. A cross between vroute's generated sheet and UVA's would work perfectly for most people.
