Determine Whether Aircraft is Flying or Not

[freshJet]

I've been playing around with this for a while:

<?php
$mystring = ACARSData::GetACARSData($aircraft->registration);
if( strpos( $mystring, '$aircraft->registration' ) !== true )
{
echo '<div style="border-radius:50px; height:10px; width:10px; background-color:green;">';
}
else
{
echo '<div style="border-radius:50px; height:10px; width:10px; background-color:#cccccc;">';
}
?>

I want it to display the green dot if it's flying and grey if not. Simples. But how?

[freshJet]

Anyone?

itrobb,

$mystring = ACARSData::GetACARSData($aircraft->registration);

There is no class on getting the aircraft by registration.

You would have to create a new data class to pull the aircraft info by registration.

Maybe you might want to create a new data class file so it won't get overwritten in updates.

Title the file something like ACARSAircraftData.class.php

And then you would have to create a WHERE function with the aircraft registration.

NOT TESTED

public static function GetACARSDataByAircraft($registration, $cutofftime = '') {
	//cutoff time in days
	if (empty($cutofftime)) {
		// Go from minutes to hours
		$cutofftime = Config::Get('ACARS_LIVE_TIME');
		//$cutofftime = $cutofftime / 60;
	}

	$sql = 'SELECT a.*, c.name as aircraftname, c.registration,
p.code, p.pilotid as pilotid, p.firstname, p.lastname,
dep.name as depname, dep.lat AS deplat, dep.lng AS deplng,
arr.name as arrname, arr.lat AS arrlat, arr.lng AS arrlng
FROM ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'acarsdata a
LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'aircraft c ON a.`aircraft`= c.`registration`
LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'pilots p ON a.`pilotid`= p.`pilotid`
LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'airports AS dep ON dep.icao = a.depicao
LEFT JOIN ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'airports AS arr ON arr.icao = a.arricao
WHERE a.aircraft = '.$registration.' ';

//$sql .= DB::build_where($params);

	if ($cutofftime !== 0) {
		$sql .= 'WHERE DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL ' . $cutofftime . ' MINUTE) <= a.`lastupdate`';
	}

	return DB::get_results($sql);
	DB::debug();
}

Once you done that. then change the $string code that your trying to do.

$mystring = ACARSAircraftData::GetACARSDataByAircraft($aircraft->registration);

Give this a go and see. The code wasn't tested.
