Re: Help building VIN decoding website

Jun 3rd, 2008

i was thinking of using a database (mysql,ect.) to store the meanings of each piece of the vin number. (for decoding the vin) i don't know the specifics so this may not be needed.

$vin = '4H27F2G111111';
$part1 = substr($vin,0,1);//returns 4
$part2 = substr($vin,1,1);//returns H
$part3 = substr($vin,2,2);//returns 27
//i think you can figure the rest out.
 
//after you get each piece. run them through a database to find what they stand for.
$vin = '4H27F2G111111';
$part1 = substr($vin,0,1);//returns 4
$part2 = substr($vin,1,1);//returns H
$part3 = substr($vin,2,2);//returns 27
//i think you can figure the rest out.
