Who is online?

[Brendan Samson 1070087]

This is not a hardware question, but since it didn't fit into any other category I decided to put it here,

 

Does any body know of a way for me to display if any of the following ATC positions our on (for our website):

 

FRG_TWR FRG_GND FRG_DEL,

TEB_TWR TEB_GND TEB_DEL,

DXR_TWR DXR_GND DXR_DEL,

ISP_TWR ISP_GND ISP_DEL

 

Also, what about a way to display all pilots online with www.NewYorkFlyingClub.net in their flight plan?

Have you tried ServInfo yet?

[David Klain 874106]

What you are looking for is a script that p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]s the VATSIM data feed to extract the data you want. Do a forum search for data feed and it will start you in the right direction. There are a number of scripts out there people have offered, but they all require modification to extract just the data you want. Also be aware you need to configure your pull script correctly or you will be slamming the VATSIM server and get blocked (there are several posts about this as well).

I tried VatsimPHP (bbflights.com) but to be honest, I don't know anything about PHP and got lost

[Brian Fuller 973577]

Looks like you can just pull the

 

$VatsimPHPdata['USER'][#]['CALLSIGN'] - the callsign of the client. It's the name the client is recognized on the network

 

array data, do a IF statement for your 4 Prefixes.

So would this work (while not overloading the network)?

 

 

<?

$url="http://www.bbflights.com/VatsimPHP/download/";

if(!file_exists("VatsimPHPgenerator.php"))

{

copy($url."VatsimPHPgeneratorupdate.php", "VatsimPHPgenerator.php");

}

if(!file_exists("VatsimPHPoptions.txt"))

{

copy($url."VatsimPHPoptions.txt", "VatsimPHPoptions.txt");

}

?>

$VatsimPHPdata['USER'][#]['FRG_TWR']

$VatsimPHPdata['USER'][#]['FRG_GND']

 

 

Thanks for all your help

You want to have VatsimPHPgenerator.php on your Webhost, and use INCLUDE to call it in your page, that makes the variables accessible to your code.

 

You can do a printr on the $vatsimPHPdata['USER'] array to see how it uses the data, from there do a IF statement or Switch/Case on your Prefixes.

It might not be easy to custom design your site without learning some perl or php programming experience. You might consider looking at a PHP tutorial and doing some of the lessons and sample code, then suggestions given to you might start to make more sense (while you wait for someone to possibly do the custom design for you).

 

If you make a few hello world sample codes and add a little conditional routines such as "if" and "then" statements you might soon start to understand it.

This is a bit rough, but it will get you started, and I have it on my host here

 

http://bdcpaging.com/vatsim/test.php

 

<?PHP
include ("VatsimPHPgenerator.php");

foreach( $VatsimPHPdata['USERGET']['CALLSIGN'] as $key => $value){

$first = substr($key, 0, 3);
			 IF ($first == "FRG" || $first == "TEB" || $first == "DXR" || $first == "ISP") {
			 			echo "Callsign: $key<br />";
						$none = 1;
       }
			 else {
			 			$none = 0;
						}
}
IF ($none == 0){ echo "No controllers found";}

?>

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

Doesn't seem to be working for me, also, do you know how can I show flight plans that have www.NewYorkFlyingClub.net in them?

 

Thanks again!

[Brian Fuller 973577]

Looks like you never ran the initial setup to create the VatsimPHPgenerator.php file on your webhost.

 

And in regards to your 2nd question, depends on where that data is, and if it's pulled from that script or not.

 

But you can pull the Pilot prefix.

[Brendan Samson 1070087]

Where do I get the VatsimPHPgenerator.php?

[Brian Fuller 973577]

http://www.bbflights.com/VatsimPHP/download.php

 

Follow the Text File instructions there.

[Brendan Samson 1070087]

Okay, I did that, you can see what I have installed at http://nyfc.site90.net/ I put all of the files in the VATPhp folder.

[Brian Fuller 973577]

And which file has the code I entered above?
