Help with IF statement

Good day, I am new to this site, and would like to know if I could ask for help?

I have a website that run a virtual Air Force, and one of the modules is to file a pilot report. Now the condition of the aircraft is a add on that was not initially incorporated by the phpvms developer.

The module to fiel a report is a php module, that simply write the info garthered by a application( connected to the flight simulator) to a table in the mySQL database.

My idea is to add into that php module a piece of script that read the current condition from the aircraft in use in a database named “MySQLAircraft”. The table is “cond”
Now the script must take that condition ( it is a percent value), and depending on the landing rate, subtract certain value from the condition, and write it again to the table.

the calculations I have in mind:
with a landing with a rate between -200 and -300 to subtract 7% from the condition. From -300 to -400 to subtract 15% from the condition and -400 to -500 subtract 30%. any landing harder than -500 subtract 50%.

I am new to php, but if I am correct, here are the code snippet that write to the DB:
[php]$data = array(
‘pilotid’=>$pilotid,
‘code’=>$code,
‘flightnum’=>$flightnum,
‘depicao’=>$xml->pirep->depICAO,
‘arricao’=>$xml->pirep->arrICAO,
‘aircraft’=>$ac->id,
‘flighttime’=>$xml->pirep->flightTime,
‘submitdate’=>‘NOW()’,
‘comment’=>$xml->pirep->comments,
‘fuelused’=>$fuelused,
‘source’=>‘kACARS’,
‘load’=>$load,
‘landingrate’=>$xml->pirep->landing,
‘log’=>$xml->pirep->log
);[/php]

any help will be appreciated!

[php]

<?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","password"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("my_db", $con); mysql_query("INSERT INTO TABLENAME (FIELDNAME, FIELDNAME, FIELDNAME) VALUES ('VALUE1', 'VALUE2',VALUE3)"); mysql_close($con); ?>

[/php]

hope that helps you

Thank you for the quick response, but no, it does not help at all?
If I am corrct this is a plain form of writing to a table using php. I want to know how I can use IF statements for the conditions described

with a landing with a rate between -200 and -300 to subtract 7% from the condition. From -300 to -400 to subtract 15% from the condition and -400 to -500 subtract 30%. any landing harder than -500 subtract 50%.

there is already a php module connecting (and writing) to the tables.
below are the existing php script:

It already write landing rate. I just want it to use the value it write to the landing rate, and according to the aircraft registration, to overwite teh condition absed on teh calculations.

ok now I am confused :slight_smile:

with a landing with a rate between -200 and -300 to subtract 7% from the condition. From -300 to -400 to subtract 15% from the condition and -400 to -500 subtract 30%. any landing harder than -500 subtract 50%.

[php]
if( $landing > -200 && $landing < -300 ){
$landing = $landing -7%
}
else if ( $landing > -300 && $landing < -400 ){
15%
}
else if ( $landing > -400 && $landing < -500 ){
30%
}
else if ( $landing > -500 ){
50%
}
[/php]

thank you sir, I have tested it, and in principle it should work I think.

I am learning here, so please bear with me:
I am going with this now step for step:

How do I look up info from a database, the table name is “MySQLaircraft”, the field to lookup is ID and the field value I need is in the column named “cond”
for example in my Table "MySQLaircraft, there is 20 aircraft. I need condition value from aircraft ID 2

any help is appreciated
Cheers, Jakes

hello Jakes, find below code for getting record from database table based on aircraft ID. [php] <? // replace dbuser and dbpassword with you connection detail. $con = mysql_connect("localhost","dbuser","dbpassword"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } // replace dbnaem with your database name mysql_select_db("dbname", $con); // here aircraftvalue is database field name which is your looking. // MySQLaircraft is table name in which data is store. //aircraftID is field in MySQLaircraft table whose record you want to fatch. //NOte you can use * instead of aircraftvalue to get all field data belongs to aircraftID=2. $selsql = "SELECT aircraftvalue FROM MySQLaircraft where aircraftID=2"; $result = mysql_query($selsql); $no_record = mysql_num_rows($result); if($no_record > 0) { echo ''; echo ''; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo ''; } echo '
Aircraft Value
'.$row['aircraftvalue'].'
'; } else { echo 'There is no record found'; } ?> [/php] i hope this will helpful for you. Reply your feednback ~~SR~~

Thank you Sarthak Patel,

Now I have the following, if it works as I want, it should read the ‘cond’ from a certain aircraft, and it must write the new condition according to a landing rate

[php] $selsql = “SELECT cond FROM MySQLaircraft where aircraftID=$ac”;

				$result = mysql_query($selsql);
				$no_record = mysql_num_rows($result);
				if($no_record > 0)
				while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
				{
					echo '<tr><td>'.$row['cond'].'</td></tr>';
				}
				
				if( $landing > -200 && $landing < -300 ){
				$cond = $cond -7%
				}
				else if ( $landing > -300 && $landing < -400 ){
				$cond = $cond -15%
				}
				else if ( $landing > -400 && $landing < -500 ){
				$cond = $cond -30%
				}
				else if ( $landing > -500  ){
				$cond = $cond -50%
				}[/php]

The aircraft ID is from the ‘aircraft’=>$ac->id, in the existing script

what do I miss?

tested it, and the above code give me a syntax error on line 285, unexpected {

Am I on the right track at least?

you have missed the ;'s at the ends of $cond = $cond -7% etc should be $cond = $cond -7%;

Didn’t help. Now I get this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/jdsarcco/public_html/uvsaaf/core/modules/kACARS_Free/kACARS_Free.php on line 283

I have tried another approach (by using examples already in the code.

I now have this for a start just to get the info retrieved:
[php] /**
* Get information about a specific aircraft
*/
public static function getAircraftInfo($id)
{
$id = DB::escape($id);

    return DB::get_row('SELECT cond FROM ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'aircraft 
						WHERE `id`=' . $id);
}

[/php]

but it also give me a parse error (unexpected T_Public on line…etc)
funny, because it is copied right from another php module
