Getting Started

Usage

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/andydeforest/nasr-airport-parser.git

Create a file and import the parser. The parser takes the location of the APT.txt file as a parameter. Example:

require './src/Parser.php';

$parser = new Parser('./APT.txt');

$parser->forEach(function($airport) {
	$name = $airport->getName();
	$runways = $airport->getRunways();
});
