6. Front end function reference for version 1.1 These functions do not conform to proper style guidelines CreateKillTable($NextKill, $PlayerID, $CorpID, $Mode, $NumberToShow) –Draws the fancy kill tables that are used on the homepage and the player corp details page, you can specify how many kills you want to be drawn. –Example: CreateKillTable($kn,$PlayerDetails[0],NULL,"kill",10); $kn is a parameter from the URL, $PlayerDetails[0] is the players ID, we use NULL for CorpID because we are doing a player based search, the mode is kill, as this function can draw tables for kills or losses for a specific person/corp. ShowPlayerStats($PlayerID) –Draws the table for the player stats, at the top of the player info page. ShowCorpStats($CorpID) –Draws the table for the corp stats.

7. Parser function reference for version 1.1 These functions have been updated as of version 1.1 to conform to proper style guides getPlayerID ($playerName) –Gets the player ID for a specified player name, if the name does not exist in the database it will be created and the new ID passed back getCorpID ($corpName) –Gets the corp ID for a specified corp name. getShipID ($shipName) –Gets the ship ID for a specifed ship name, does not create a new record if ship is not found in table. getItemID ($itemName) –Gets the item ID for a specified item name, creates new records if not found. getSystemID ($systemName, $systemSecurity) –Gets the system ID for a specified system name, security is passed to this function so if a new record has to be created we dont need a new function call. updateCorp ($playerID, $corpID) –Changes the recorded corp ID for the player to the one specified in this killmail, makes sure all corp lists are as up to date as possible.

8. Limitations of the killboard for version 1.1 Killmail tampering can cause unexpected results in the parser, the parser is simple code that assumes correct killmails will be passed to it, future version should improve error checking. Internet Explorer and Opera dont like some of the CSS/XHTML supplied in the code, it can probably be simplified. Search can only be accessed from the homepage, limitation of where the code to check if you are searching was originally placed. Would require some work to move it. Cant handle drone kills at all. This is a semi-serious problem that will be addressed in the near future.
