rt-2 / canotapi Goto Github PK

Yeah basically I'd create a Notam objects that could be played with.

I think I would add that in the background of the existing 2 functions and add CANotAPI_GetNotamsObjectList to get an array of NOTAMs objects.

Looking at the website http://www.zuluforpilots.com/Map it appears they pull all NOTAMs directly from NavCanada through AFTN... and I believe there has to be an API directly from NavCanada somewhere to pull this data from. Foreflight is doing it, other organizations are doing it. The problem is this limits us to 6 airports it would be great to figure a way to get as many airports or a region if we wanted.

I will star and follow the code :)

The regular expression on line:

preg_replace('/(Local NOTAM only\s+C[A-Z]{3})/',' ', $html);

should be replaced with:

preg_replace('/(Local NOTAM only\s+C[A-Z0-9]{3})/',' ', $html);

To allow NOTAMs for smaller airports (like CNZ8 and CNC4) to not include the "Local NOTAM only" string.

Basically CANotAPI_GetNotamsString would return an associative array with all kind of separated information including the whole line of text.

The usefulness of API is limited as it returns a concatenated string of the NOTAMs with HTML interspersed. The formatting and presentation should not be dictated by the API, this should be done by the application calling the API. The suggestion is to remove all HTML from the response and return an array of the NOTAMs instead to the application.

For example, the following line:

$ret .= '<span class="'.$classes.'">'.$this_notam_text.'</span><br><br>';

should be changed to:

$ret[] = $this_notam_text

And $showfooter should be permanently set to false and/or removed.

Hello. I see in the code you're directly accessing a plan.navcanada.ca API. Do you have docs for this API? I would like to use it as well.

You don't have to do all these issues yourself, when I get around to it I would be happy to help you. In the meantime, I think you should stop using the find/replace method with using the DOM. With a script this size we could probably evaluate exactly how much more efficient the two methods are but I am going to guess the DOM method will be much faster.

In the fall of 2019, NAV CANADA will transition to
the ICAO NOTAM format. All Canadian NOTAMs
will be distributed using this format, and the
information will be divided into eight sections:
