FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

IVAO-Data
The IVAO data library is a very simple PHP class to download IVAO whazzup data.
IMPORTANT
This is work in progress! This is not the best code you will ever see. But it might help you. Good luck.
IVAO API Information
You can find more information on the IVAO API and the retrievval of the whazzup data in the IVAO wiki: IVAO WIKI auf.
Usage
- Clone this repo or composer-require it
git clone https://...orcomposer require chrishaensel/ivao-data - Create a new instance of the IVAO class
$ivao = new \chrishaensel\Ivao("My app name v.1.1"); - Download the data
$ivao->downloadIvaoWhazzupData();
Options
When instantiating the Ivao class, you must pass your application's name as the first parameter.
$ivao = new \chrishaensel\Ivao("My app name v1.1"), otherwise it will fail with an exception. IVAO requires you to pass your application name as User Agent string when downloading the data.
As second parameter, you can pass an array with other options.
Currently, the only supported option is create_json. When set to 1, the library will create a JSON file of the ATC and PILOT data contained in the whazzupt.txt file.
When calling the downloadIvaoWhazzupData method, you can pass a parameter (string) with the target path / filename for the whazzup data.
$ivao->downloadIvaoWhazzupData("my_whazzup.txt"") will cause the script to save the data in the file my_whazzup.txt.
IVAO Rules
IVAO does have some rules regarding the download of whazzup data.
Most importantly:
These files may only be obtained after an official clearance from the IVAO Development Operations Department!
- Always set your user agent to the name of your application, including the version.
- The whazzup file may only be downloaded once every 5 minutes.
- The status.txt file may only be downloaded once a day
IVAO-data does take care of the timing - you need to ask for permission :)
Some sample code
This way, you can use the Ivao class. We're using naspaces, so there won't be conflicts with other libraries you might use.
Sample output of the JSON file
The whazzup data will be split in two parts within the JSON. "PILOT" and "ATC" - both are arrays of the connected parties.
