Current Pilots Online Info

[AFVA | Mitchell]

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?

[Nabeel]

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)

[Nabeel]

The data is returned as an array:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

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.

[AFVA | Mitchell]

Can someone give me a code example?

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

[Nabeel]

The code simpilot posted before in this thread is it

[AFVA | Mitchell]

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

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

[Nabeel]

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