Acars posting help - new

[fleanbilly]

Hi everyone, ( I posted this in the wrong place before so please forgive me in advance for the dup)

I am new to programming vmsPHP so please bear with me. I am looking for some help. 

I have created a Xplane acars. there seems that there are not many of them that work with Xplane. My work  uses DATAREFs and not XPUIC.

Is there a standard way of interfacing with vmsPHP ?  or do you need a custom php page to accept input from an acars app?  I have played with spoofing other module's webrequests and that seems to work fine. My VA's site gets all my input, position reports and PIREPS but I dont want to "come through" someone else's pages (work)

I am looking to do my posts from my app.  I don't know PHP well and I am hoping there is a standard (.net or XML) based way to communicate with vmsPHP.  

 

Can anyone point me in the correct direction or some advice?  

 

here is a sample Acars log from one of my flights... and it does live reporting also...
