Display Live ACARS data for a specific flight number

[Kishshey]

Hello,

I need to create a page that will show the live flight information with the ACARS data, for a specific Flight Number

I also need the ability to GET the flight number from the url (test.php?flightnum=1533)

Can anyone give me a push in the right direction for this. I'd appreciate it a lot.

Thank you,

Kishshey

Inside your module function create a variable to get the number from url passed through submission of the form.

public function whatever()
{
 $var = $_GET['name of the form'];
}

Then use your variable to pass it to ACARS DATA matching the flight number

$sql="SELECT * FROM phpvms_acarsdata WHERE flightnumber = '$var'";
$flight =  DB::get_row($sql);

Then use $flight to show the columns

<table>
  <tr>
  <td>Flight Number</td>
  <td><?php echo $flight->flightnumber ;?></td>
  </tr>
</table>
