You want a foreach formula for each item contained in the array. Something
like this:

$lastcalls=$mystic->lastcallers(10, true);
$lcr = array_reverse($lastcalls, true);
foreach ($lcr as $lc){
$lc['city']=$mystic->decode($lc['city']);
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width='25%'>".$lc['user']."</td>";
echo "<td >".$lc['city']."</td>";
$ldate=date("d/m/y",$lc['date']);
echo "<td align='right'>".$ldate."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
;

Something like this:

Yeah, what he said. =) Anything to loop through each row, and you can format
it in HTML however you want it displayed after that.

I'm afraid I'm a non programmer Is there any existing software to do this I have looked at mysticphp website and the info is nicely displayed I want to do something similar. Sorry to be a pain but I have been struggling for days An alternative ive I have
been pursuing is to directly display the mystic data file in a web page.

I'm the original creator of the mysticphp library and unless you have some understanding of using php I don't know of any other way to display the info you are looking at displaying.

Awesome, I finally get a chance to thank you for indirectly helping me with a formatting issue I was having when I wrote my own PHP script to display Mystic's last callers with custom image and formatting.

Getting the info to display right was a bitch, so I "cheated" and used your example just to get the data to show correctly. I even thanked you and
credited you in my script.

So, seriously, thank you again =)

Can you point me to the example. I have seen the web page at mysticphp where the array has been formatted nicely but I cannot fathom how it was done. I've
looked at the page source

No worries. It's not cheating at all, it's called learning, lol.

I'm just glad that after all these years, before returning to bbsing, someone has kept the damn thing alive.

I've got round my lack of program skills by pulling in the callers.dat file for
display in a web page Not very pretty but readable Still hoping for a way to format the array created by mysticphp

Hey Richard. Netsurge gave an example in response to your question a few days ago. Here's his example:

$lastcalls=$mystic->lastcallers(10, true);
$lcr = array_reverse($lastcalls, true);
foreach ($lcr as $lc){
$lc['city']=$mystic->decode($lc['city']);
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width='25%'>".$lc['user']."</td>";
echo "<td >".$lc['city']."</td>";
$ldate=date("d/m/y",$lc['date']);
echo "<td align='right'>".$ldate."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
;

Hi I'm afraid I'm very much a non programmer Where do I place your code to use with mysticphp Do I place it within mysticphp or immediately after An example would be useful Sorry about my lack of knowledge I'm 70 and still remember the old days of
acoustic modems and dial up at 300 each way My main interest is with BBC micros
to use them to play online adventure games linking to my bbs via via a hayes software modem on a pc My web site would be a gateway to my bbs using ftelnet I
have got the
array to display ok
Thanks again

You will need some basic understanding of PHP and HTML in order to achieve
what you are looking for.

May I suggest googling some PHP/HTML examples in order to get you headed in
the right direction.

HI RICHARD , interested in how you have a BBS . did I understand correctly
you run it from a BBC micro? I am attempting to create a BBS for my BBC. In fact I am using it to write this message. Hope too hear back from you.

This can be done by extracting the data (ANY data) directly from Mystic BBS through websockets.

I wrote an Mystic Webmail client proof of concept by using websockets and a custom Mystic connect.mpx and startup.mpx.

See proof of concept here: https://thawk.nl/mystic-webmail/.

This shows that you can directly retrieve _any_ data live from any mystic board instantly without delays.
