Getting a country flag

[HighFlyerPL185]

Hi,

I'm sure it was asked before, but I'd like to make it in a different form. How do I display a country flag onto a departure/arrival airport? Basically, I'm getting a list of departures from the database, and listing them one by one. Inside my foreach I have:

   foreach($deps as $departure)
   {
       $dep_airport = OperationsData::getAirportinfo($departure->depicao);
   ?>
   <tr>
           <td width="10%"><?php echo $departure->depicao; ?></td>
           <td width="10%"><img src="<?php echo Countries::getCountryImage($dep_airport->location); ?>" /></td>
           <td width="60%"><?php echo $dep_airport->name; ?></td>
           <td width="20%"><?php echo $departure->total; ?></td>
   </tr>

If you look at row 2, I'm trying to generate an image for the country that the airport is in. Example: if Dublin, display Irish flag etc. I've tried depicao too beside location but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

I think I have a vague idea of what it's doing, it's basically getting a full name of the country, but we'd like it only to be two chars for the file name, i.e GB etc.

Try this:

$dep_airport->country

Hope this works.

[HighFlyerPL185]

Try this:

$dep_airport->country

Hope this works.

Nope. Does not display anything. Any other suggestions?

I am assuming you are gonna used this in the schedules so I am passing $route->depicao for the ICAO you want to search for. Change this to reflect your script if using anywhere else.

<?php
$country = OperationsData::getAirportInfo($route->depicao); //or change to pass in the departure icao of the airport...
   	 $imgicao = array_search($country->country, Countries::$countries);
?>
<img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strlower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo $imgicao;?>"

the end result something like this for me

Thanks Sava, you're a star again.

I discovered it actually worked before, but it was getting the full country name and applying it to find an image i.e /united_kingdom.png and not /uk.png. But your suggestion has sorted it, thanks a lot!

Glad I could help out.

Just noticed, if anyone ever encounters such an issue, I think my host uses linux, because it could not find the files, which it could find on my system. As it happens with Linux, it is case sensitive, unlike Windows, so it needs lowercase characters in our case.

Adding a strtolower(string) function fixes it all

<img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strtolower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo strtolower($imgicao);?>" />

[Sava]

I added that to the code just minutes after initially posting, (as I also tried on a Linux server after the initial code dev on Windows) so I thought you included that but it seems you got my code before I updated it If you check, there is actually the strlower function already there

<?php

 $airports = OperationsData::getAllAirports();
 $imgicao = array_search($country->country, Countries::$countries);
?>
<img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strlower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo $imgicao;?>"

In that file edit this? Location?

very interesting but where to place that code? did not get it to work!

[Parkho]

You can use it in your default schedule search.

[Sava]

You place it where you need the flag to show up. If you are using it somewhere else then in the schedules, you will probably need to adjust the variable passed as mentioned.

[Txmmy83]

thanks did it slight diffrently

you can view it here:

http://www.flyeurope-va.org/index.php/schedules/view

[imnemina]

I do not understand where to put code.

In schedule_details.tpl? or in schedules_result.tpl?

i try, but not work for me.

Any help more?

Regards

[Sava]

It should be placed in schedule results .tpl

<td>
<a href="<?php echo url('/schedules/details/'.$route->id);?>"><?php echo $route->code . $route->flightnum?>
(
<?php $country = OperationsData::getAirportInfo($route->depicao);
 $imgicao = array_search($country->country, Countries::$countries);
?> <img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strlower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo $imgicao;?>" />
<?php echo $route->depicao;?> - <?php $country = OperationsData::getAirportInfo($route->arricao);
	 $imgicao = array_search($country->country, Countries::$countries);
?> <img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strlower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo $imgicao;?>" />

<?php echo $route->arricao;?>)</a>
<br />

Change your current code that display the DEPICAO - ARRICAO to this. I can't be more specific.

What about doing this for airport info, i.e not using data from the schedules? I tried it using $airport->icao but got nothing...

[Sava]

Which module for airport are you using? I don't know which variables you are working with.

[imnemina]

Almost

the flags icon shows broken.

[Sava]

Just copy over the code again, I've changed it a bit. Sorry for that, used my old code w/o strlower()

[imnemina]

No case. There is something wrong.

Thanks

Forgot I posted this, it was just a simple case of forgetting the strtolower()

[imnemina]

something I'm doing wrong.

With the original code on scehdules result tpl file:

<tr>

<td>

<a href="<?php echo url('/schedules/details/'.$route->id);?>"><?php echo $route->code . $route->flightnum?>

<?php echo '('.$route->depicao.' - '.$route->arricao.')'?>

</a>

<br />

my flights are shown:

If change the code for this:

<tr>

<td>

<a href="<?php echo url('/schedules/details/'.$route->id);?>"><?php echo $route->code . $route->flightnum?>

(

<?php $country = OperationsData::getAirportInfo($route->depicao);

$imgicao = array_search($country->country, Countries::$countries);

?> <img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strlower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo $imgicao;?>" />

<?php echo $route->depicao;?> - <?php $country = OperationsData::getAirportInfo($route->arricao);

$imgicao = array_search($country->country, Countries::$countries);

?> <img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strlower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo $imgicao;?>" />

<?php echo $route->arricao;?>)</a>

<br />

<strong>Salida: </strong><?php echo $route->deptime;?>         <strong>Destino: </strong><?php echo $route->arrtime;?><br />

<strong>Aeronave: </strong><?php echo $route->aircraft; ?> (<?php echo $route->registration;?>) <strong>Distancia: </strong><?php echo $route->distance . Config::Get('UNITS');?>

<br />

<strong>Dias Activo: </strong><?php echo Util::GetDaysCompact($route->daysofweek); ?><br />

<?php echo ($route->route=='') ? '' : '<strong>Ruta: </strong>'.$route->route.'<br />' ?>

<?php echo ($route->notes=='') ? '' : '<strong>Notes: </strong>'.html_entity_decode($route->notes).'<br />' ?>

<?php

# Note: this will only show if the above code to

# skip the schedule is commented out

if($route->bidid != 0)

{

echo 'Este vuelo ha sido asignado';

}

?>

</td>

The schedules screen change and the info show bad

It can not be that hard.

I must be close.

Any ideas.

Can anyone help?

There are cash! :D :D

[freshJet]

It should be strtolower(), not strlower()

<img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strtolower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo $imgicao;?>" />

[imnemina]

It should be strtolower(), not strlower()

<img src="<?php echo SITE_URL;?>/lib/images/countries/<?php echo strtolower($imgicao);?>.png" alt="<?php echo $imgicao;?>" />
