changing weather maps

hjhjhgjgjh · October 29, 2009, 9:52am

Hi,

ok this is what i want to do…

we are on the pilot briefing page.. the departure icao is EDDT and the arrival doesnt matter for now. the weather map should now automatically show a map of europe instead of one from america or whatever. BUT if the icao is like KJFK, it should show a map of america of course. i started like that

<?php

if (substr(‘$schedule->depicao’, 0,1) == ‘E’)

{

echo ‘<img src=“map for e.g. europe” />’;

}

elseif(substr(‘$schedule->depicao’,0,1) == ‘K’)

{

echo ‘<img src=“map for e.g. north america” />’;

}

else

{

echo ‘no map available’;

}

?>

but somehow it always shows “no map available”.. what did i do wrong?

okay it works 8)

replace the code with the weather maps in that schedule_briefing.tpl with the following codes

/rmk: you can add/change the dedicated maps,.. i also dont have maps for asia and something included, because i didnt find some good ones.. This code will automatically show the weather map for departure and arrival airport(lets better say continent/country) on FL300. If the flight is longer than 3400nm, NAT maps are also included ! (Updated 12:20Z 29.10.09: Now the dep and arr maps are not the same. the dep map is a 6 hours forecast and arr is a 24 hours forecast but can be changed to 12 hours if required)

Alot of code.

A few things, instead of substr(), you can do

$schedule->arricao[0] == ‘A’

That’s faster than calling substr().

You could also convert this into a function. Just some pseudocode, but the basic idea:

<?php
function getMap($letter, $type)
{
    $letter = strtoupper($letter);
    if($letter == 'A')
    { 
          // Show map info
          echo "{$type} map..... <img src=....." // etc
    }
    elseif($letter == 'B')
    {
        // Do only the letters which have maps
    }
    else
    {
        // For all others, just do the echo "no map available"
        echo "{$type} has no map available";
      }
}

// Then just call
getMap($schedule->arricao[0], 'Arrival');
getMap($schedule->depicao[0], 'Departure');

Generally, if you’re repeating any code more than once, you should be using a function
