Great Circle Mapper & Flight Bids

"What! He's asking another question?"

Yes. He is. Don't judge him, he doesn't know anything. :rolleyes:

Moving on.

I came across this snippet a few days ago that will allow me to display recent flights underneath a map (GCMap), and it works like a charm. I sized it down and added it to the sidebar on my home page.

Now, the question is this. And please understand that I do a lot of wingin' it when it comes to code, and while I can generally understand how things work and how to change them, I just don't understand this map thing quite yet. I have a list on my home page as well, that shows upcoming flights (pulled from pilot bids), and I want to display a similar GCMap to display these results, too. Any idea as to how I might approach that?

I appreciate your help. I really do. You complete (the virtual aviation enthusiast looking to start his own VA part of) me.

Ummm, Well. I tried and I'm not sure what's up.

It's not returning me the latest bid and I must missed something here for pilots.

<?php
if(!$lastbids)
{
  echo '<p>Sorry No recent bids have been found</p></div>';
  return;
}
        $flights = SchedulesData::getLatestBids($userinfo->pilotid, '5');                                                                     
       $string = "";
       foreach($flights as $flight)
       {       
               $string = $string.$flight->depicao.'+-+'.$flight->arricao.',+';
       }
?>
