Hello everyone,
I've just joined this list, so I thought I'll introduce myself. I won't
bore you with the long life story, so here's the quick summary:
-Electrical + Computer Engineering student
-web development for 6+ years (started out with the VI editor)
-HTML,C/C++,PERL,PHP,ASM,Jscripts,...I learn them as I need them...
and forget them until I need them.
My questions:
I want to make an e-commerce like transaction with a remote file,
similar to how a merchant account process a credit card. The concept is
very similar.
Basically, I have two servers in two different cities.
I have a web interface on server A, and DB on server B.
Server A is a membership site.
If someone tries to access a members-feature from site A, then site A
will
contact site B, run a cgi script (which returns YES or NO), then proceed
according to the answer from B.
[It's not possible for the user to connect to site B, then transfer to
site A]
I want this to be invisible to the user, so I'm using
$fp = fopen(http://.../file.cgi?var=value);
to run the remote script.
Now, if the remote script returns a value, like
return ($va1, $var2);
=================
How can I read these value, from site A?
=================
If the function was in the same file, then it would be no problem.
For example, with
$var1 = function_name();
$var1 would contain any value returned by function_name().
=====================
Does that same concept holds, if the files are different?
====================
=== How can I capture the returned value of the remote file?
=== Is there a better way to do this?
Any and all suggestions are welcome. I would appreciate any help,
comments, directions, that can provide.
Thanks in advance.
-John M.
