Live map - ACARS flight data not showing correctly

[kelinu]

I'm having a problem with the live map on my VA. Whenever somebody is flying, the information does not appear correctly in the table under the live map and in the tooltip bubble. I've tried using both KACARS and XACARS with the same results.

This is what happens:

I did a bit of digging around in the phpVMS source code and I found acarsmap.tpl which seemed relevant to the problem. This is the code that prints the table:

<script type="text/html" id="acars_map_row">
<tr class="<%=flight.trclass%>">
<td><a href="<?php echo url('/profile/view');?>/<%=flight.pilotid%>"><%=flight.pilotid%> - <%=flight.pilotname%></a></td>
<td><%=flight.flightnum%></td>
<td><%=flight.depicao%></td>
<td><%=flight.arricao%></td>
<td><%=flight.phasedetail%></td>
<td><%=flight.alt%></td>
<td><%=flight.gs%></td>
<td><%=flight.distremaining%> <?php echo Config::Get('UNITS');?> / <%=flight.timeremaining%></td>
</tr>
</script>

I haven't edited any of the code in the template file. What's happening?

Thanks so much for your help,

Mike

You have a problem here.

Your php asp tags is off. It needs to be turned on in order to display the flight info.

I would contact your host if you are on a shared hosting. Tell them to see if they can turn on php asp tags on.

[kelinu]

Nope, it seems that ASP-style tags are on.

[Kyle]

<% %> is an ASP Tags, if it wasn't working and not parsing the flight info, then it's still off.

Double check your php settings. Are you on a shared hosting, VPS or dedicated?

[kelinu]

Shared hosting. The PHP info page said that ASP tags are on. I will double check with my host about it and report back.

Ah. They told me that ASP does not run on Linux servers. It's a Linux server. Is there any workaround to it that you know of? Thanks for all your help up until this point. Do you know if this is the only time where ASP tags are used in the phpVMS code? I don't fancy running into this problem again.

i don't think it has to do with the linux server as i am running on a linux with no problems.

but now comes the question again are you on free or paid hosting

and could you provide us with a url to your website.

only working with you telling us what and how is verry difficould

They need to turn off the PHP asp_tags setting in the PHP config.

[kelinu]

I am on paid hosting. They need to turn PHP asp_tags OFF? I thought the problem was that they needed to be ON. I will contact them again.

[kelinu]

Is anyone still there? Must the ASP tags be on or off?

I am having the Same Problem with my Website its giving off the same error

But here is my PHP config infomation

Sub Section Directive Info Value

Language Options asp_tags Allow ASP-style <% %> tags. On

File Uploads file_uploads Whether to allow HTTP file uploads. On

Paths and Directories include_path Windows: "\path1;\path2" c:\php\includes" .:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php

Resource Limits max_execution_time 30

Resource Limits max_input_time 60

Resource Limits memory_limit 200M

Data Handling register_globals You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily lead to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of. Off

Language Options safe_mode Off

main session.save_path Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this variable in order to use PHP's session functions. As of PHP 4.0.1, you can define the path as: session.save_path = "N;/path" where N is an integer. Instead of storing all the session files in /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and store the session data in those directories. This is useful if you or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions. NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically. You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose. NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to use subdirectories for session storage /tmp

File Uploads upload_max_filesize Maximum allowed size for uploaded files. 100M
