How it works ?

Where is the outpout file?

How I can call it?

It accepts an xml file the acars program sends the site, and it reads the data in the xml file, and turns it into code php can read and sends that code to the db. That is what I think it does anyway.

Ok Thanks Strider,

Why this question ? In my fleet page I put aircrafts and airports I have in my DB. So you can see it in action here http://www.skydream-airlines.com/index.php/vFleetTracker

Like my Routenetwork I would like to put lines from (ex LFPG and all arrivals route from this point) you can see my routenetwork http://www.skydream-airlines.com/index.php/routenetwork

So I would like to make an xml output file like in my first post to have <markers> in xml file How can do that please ?

Regards Fred
