Interfacing with PHP and MySQL


Recommended Posts

Good morning,

I own a small VA all coded in PHP. Till a couple of months ago we used to check exams for airplane qualification via FS2002's videos. Now we are trying to find the way to make the examination automatic.

What we wanna reach for is getting flight datas from the plane flying online and check 'em via a PHP script. If altitude, speeds and so on are within the standards the pilot gets the qualification for that plane else not.

Does FSUIPC output variables "PHP readable"? Is there a paper that could teach me what variables and how to "fetch" their values?

Thank you in advance.

FSUIPC does not output anything. It provides an interface for programs to read and write values. The same interface is duplicated on Networked PCs via WideFS.

Full details and tools for using this iterface in C/C++, Delphi, Visual Basic or even Assembly Code are included in the FSUIPC SDK ("Software Development Kit").

Interfacing with PHP/SQL sounds like a noble challenge - but you've got a bit coding to do (and FSUIPC SDK to learn;)

We've been using flight validation for the past three years at AeroTexas.com - first with APLC adventure file coding and later using Pete's FSUIPC and VB6. I must admit the latter is alot easier, and we're using a text file for the main database of user's flights. I'd suppose it to be rather straightforward to interface with PHP/SQL, but I'm not that familiar with it.

Send me an-email (garen@aerotexas.com) if you'd like more details - I've got some code that could probably save you alot of time if you're using VB6.
