  1. Without some code it is hard to tell what you are doing. If you are trying to include phpVMS functions in a page outside of phpVMS you will have to include the core config file and use native phpVMS functions to get the data you want, or connect directly to the database using php/mysql and make your data calls from there.

  2. Great to see you taking on vacentral as well.

    As for the xml feeds, I got a "The remote name could not be resolved: 'api.vacentral.net'" using a custom VA rather than phpvms. Is this still down?

    There has not been a api.vacentral.net for some time. All api calls should be going to api.phpvms.net for pirep reporting. The xml feed should be structured like this (using your airline specific address)

  3. My first guess on the top two are that you (or your host) have upgraded to a newer php version which has broke these functions, second guess would be that some files have been deleted or corrupted on the server. Take a good look at the error log for the server and see what is going on right before these errors.

    The vaCentral issue is not a problem with your site but an issue with vaCentral. More details here -> http://forum.phpvms....us-as-of-83015/

  4. The current situation with vaCentral is as follows;

    I took over the hosting and maintenance of both the phpVMS and vaCentral sites in January of 2015. Nabeel's career has continued to move him to higher positions requiring more and more attention which in turn made it very hard for him to maintain any consistency with these projects. My intentions in taking over were (and still are) to continue the development of a version 3 and keep the websites up and running. As they say, good intentions never go unpunished. Since taking over, the database for phpVMS has been hacked and corrupted, the site has been the victim of 2 major DDOS attacks, and I have received close to 100 hate mails about all things phpVMS and vaCentral.

    Currently the main web pages for vaCentral are down. Why? In order to try and save a little money and avoid future DDOS attacks I have moved both sites to a new server instance which also included an upgrade in terms of OS and PHP versions. For some reason this has broken the front end of vaCentral although data is still being received and recorded through the phpVMS API server, which runs the same system and setup.

    I am working toward a resolution and do have the basic stats pages working for those that want to review them, they are all linked on the vaCentral.net home page. The airline stats are updating hourly and are correct. The XML feed for VA ranking is down at this time, it is next on my list of repairs.

    I hope this helps explain what is going on and where vaCentral stands as of the writing of this post.

  5. I have had a few emails in regards to members profiles being deleted and hope this explains the why and how; there was over 33,000 users in the database, the vast majority were spam signups and it was just weighing on the speed of the forum. I deleted all the users that never posted anything in the forum, and that had no login activity on the site since January 1st, 2014. Meeting one condition or the other kept your profile in the system.

    No one that ever posted on the site was deleted and if you had logged in since January 1st, 2015 your profile was not deleted. I am sorry if you did not meet these conditions and now noticed your profile gone, but never posting and not logging in for 18 months tells me that you were not using it. You are welcome to sign up again for a new profile if you would like.
