Current Pilots Online Info

phpVMS Legacy Support
1

I want to make a bar at the top of the page with the current flights online.

Info I want with it:

Dep Airport

Arr Airport

Status

Pilot Name

Flight Number

phpVMS version 1.2.700 (will be updated in the next coming days)

Thanks in advance,

You’ll have to call:

$pilots = ACARSData:GetACARSData();

And that’ll be the list of pilots with all that information you need. See my signature for the link to the API docs

I get the word ‘array’

How do i fix this?

Code:

<?php echo $pilots = ACARSData::GetACARSData($cutofftime = '720'); ?>
      <td>
		<?php echo $pilots->pilotname; ?>
		</td>
		<td>
      <?php echo $pilots->flightnum; ?>
		</td>
      <td>
      <?php echo $pilots->depicao; ?>
      </td>
      <td>
      <?php echo $pilots->arricao; ?>
      </td>
      <td>
      <?php echo $pilots->phasedetail; ?>
      </td>
      </tbody>

You need to extract your data from the array with a foreach command. How about something like this…

<table>
  <?php 
$data = (ACARSData::GetACARSData($cutofftime = '720'));
    foreach ($data as $pilots)
      { ?>
      <tr>
              <td>
                  <?php echo "$pilots->firstname $pilots->lastname"; ?>
            </td>
            <td>
                  <?php echo $pilots->flightnum; ?>
            </td>
            <td>
                    <?php echo $pilots->depicao; ?>
            </td>
            <td>
                    <?php echo $pilots->arricao; ?>
            </td>
            <td>
                    <?php echo $pilots->phasedetail; ?>
            </td>
          </tr>
    <?php  } ?>
</table>

It should be looping through all the data that is available- Is there more than one pilot using ACARS within the timeout period you are setting in the command?

The cutoff time is in minutes. If you don’t enter a time, it takes the default you entered in the local.config.php

In addition, you can just do:

$data = ACARSData::GetACARSData(720);

No need to include the variable with it

Can someone explain in it, i am confused  ???

I want to make the online pilots appear in a list (table)

The data is returned as an array:

You need to use a loop like this:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php

simpilot put an example up there of exactly how it would work.

11

Can someone give me a code example?

I was really confused on the links you gave me (sorry, im pretty new to php)

12

The code simpilot posted before in this thread is it

13

Just left out the { and } and didn’t notice.

Will report back when two people at once are doing a flight.

Well, if there’s one person, it’ll still output correctly. It’ll return that same format in either way (an array)
