Code Spacing

[shaun105]

I have top 5 pilots on home page, however the callsign and total hours show like this ... callsign is EIN1234 and the hours are 67 there isnt a space. Could you tell me how to do this. I have added the code below. Thanks in advance.

EN123467

<?php
$year = date("Y");
$month = date("m")-1;
if($month == 0) { //If it's january, previous month is december.
						    $month = 12;
						    $year -= 1;
}
$pilot = TopPilotData::top_pilot_hours($month, $year, 5);
echo '<table>';
foreach ($pilot as $top) {
						    $pilot = PilotData::GetPilotData($top->pilot_id);
						    echo '<tr>';
						    echo '<td>'.$pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname.' - '.PilotData::GetPilotCode($pilot->code, $pilot->pilotid).'</td>';
						    echo '<td>'.$top->hours.'</td>';
						    echo '</tr>';
		    }
echo '</table>';
?>

    </div>

You set a percentage width for each <td>. For example:

<td width="50%">

This will give specific "space" for each table column.

One more ref the code above that is for the previous month pilot hours total. What would be the code for showing the present month please.

Do not expect everything "on your plate". If you check the code it is obvious. On the second line we store the current year on the $year variable. On the third line we store the current month-1(which means the previous month) on the $month variable. As soon as you remove the -1 from the $month, the whole if statement is useless and it can be removed too (lines 4-7).

Customize the above code based on what i wrote, and you will have the present month stats ready.

Yeah thanks for the pointer and the attitude. Is this a support forum ? Some of us not as clued up with codes ect. Please accept my plate for any further issues.

I know that some of you do not know a lot of things about coding. As you have noticed, i am always trying to help the community members as much as i can, whenever i can and wherever i can. The thing is that we are not here to serve you ready codes to build your website. I did not say it to offend you. I fully explained you how to do it with three fully comprehensible steps. It's not that bad to run it, experiment and make a few tests. It might take you some time but in the end, you will learn much more things than just copying it.

I appreciate that and the help. Website is already built i am just tuning it a bit. I am not a webmaster with PHP

I will try yo sort myself

This is something quite simple and that is why i just described you how to do it. Read what i said above and i am sure that you will manage to do it. Post the code for us as soon as you complete it.

It was staring me in the face thanks

  <?php
$year = date("Y");
$month = date("m");
$pilot = TopPilotData::top_pilot_hours($month, $year, 5);
echo '<table>';
foreach ($pilot as $top) {
						    $pilot = PilotData::GetPilotData($top->pilot_id);
						    echo '<tr>';
						    echo '<td>'.$pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname.' - '.PilotData::GetPilotCode($pilot->code, $pilot->pilotid).'</td>';
						    echo '<td width="10%"><td>'.$top->hours.'</td>';
						    echo '</tr>';
		    }
echo '</table>';
?>
