gps tracker ... code modifying problem.

Hello everyone ...
I want to implement the project demonstrated here:
https://www.cooking-hacks.com/projects/arduino-realtime-gps-gprs-vehicle-tracking

I have already assembled the parts inculding the battery and sim card, just few question because I recognized that I need to edit the code in order to fit my requiremtnts, the code is attached to this post ,, in the attachements , , I couldn't post it here because it is exceeding the max 9000 character allowed.

my doubts about the code are:

1- the phone number in my country is 10 digits so I need to edit the code to fit to 10 digits number insted of 9.
2- the phone service provider do not include username or password to connect to GPRS network, only APN, do I have to leave the user and pass character in the code empty ? or I have to do something about it ?
3- I want to include printed message containing ID ahead to the langtitutde and attiude inforamation in the message received from the module for example, the message should be like :

Car ID : KAB 675
Langtitude: XXXXXXXX
Attitude: XXXXXX

4- the site above mentioned that I can even receive the location as a google map on the computer, however, I didn't understand what he ment by apache server- php code it said ...

thank you all so much in advance.

any one can help ? please ?

1- the phone number in my country is 10 digits so I need to edit the code to fit to 10 digits number insted of 9.

This is a trivial change. Why are you having difficulties?

2- the phone service provider do not include username or password to connect to GPRS network, only APN, do I have to leave the user and pass character in the code empty ? or I have to do something about it ?

Yes, you'll have to do something about it. Exactly what is something that your provider should be helping you with.

3- I want to include printed message containing ID ahead to the langtitutde and attiude

Again, quite trivial. Just add another Serial.println() statement.

4- the site above mentioned that I can even receive the location as a google map on the computer, however, I didn't understand what he ment by apache server- php code it said ...

Then you will have problems making the mapping part work. Work on that on the PC first. Don't even try doing it on the Arduino until you understand the process inside out.

Hello mr.Tom ...
I am an undergradute electrical power engineering student .. but I am weak in programming, I can call myself as noob if you want .. that is why my questions seems to be "trivial" to other experienced users..
I really appreciate your point .. thanks.
