[PHP] How to get PHP to do a POST??
Hello all! Here is an interesting problem that I can not solve, maybe one of you know?? Here is what I'm trying to do. I sell a lot of items on eBay, and lots of people ask me for a quote on shipping. We ship via UPS and I go to their site a lot to lookup rates. I decided to make my own web page that links into UPS' with most of the fields already pre-set, and all I want to do is give the user back a total for shipping. I need to manipulate what comes back from UPS first, so I can add to the shipping price to cover materials, etc, then give the final numbers back to the end user. This is where I have a problem. I was able to have my page act as a user-agent, and do the submit itself, however on UPS's site, their submit button is not a button, but rather an image. Since a button is easy to know what values are getting set (ie name="Submit" value="getinfo"), I did not know what vars the image-submit was setting, since there was no 'value' variable, only a 'name' variable. I tried it on my own server and found that php assigns the values 'name_x' and 'name_y' giving us the x&y values of where the user clicked, but UPS does not use PHP, so I don't know what their software sets the submit values to hence it does not work correctly. Their form just thinks something went wrong and displays the beginning again. If I just include their submit button on my form, then all works fine, except for the fact that I can't intercept the data comming back from UPS so that I can adjust the prices. Any idea on how to do this???

AH! Thank you for this info! This was exactly the problem! When I changed the name_x to name.x, it worked, and UPS' site gave me back what I was looking for.

[PHP] POST to port 443 (SSL)
Hello,
I am trying to use the UPS Online Tools, the XML version. This requires you
POSTing an XML document to their Tools server, which is SSL enabled. I am
having a problem getting this to connect in PHP (4.0.6) on my server (Apache
1.3.20). In my scripts, I use
$Socket = fsockopen (www.ups.com, 443, $errno, $errstr);
if (!$Socket)
die ("Error bla bla bla");
fputs ($Socket, "GET /ups.app/xml/Rate HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n");
...
...
If you point your browser to https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate you will
see a response. But this code seems to just time-out. If I change the port
443 to port 80, I will get a response. What am I missing for it to talk to
an SSL port??
Thanks!
Patrick

[PHP] Re: begginer needs help
Sure, you should just (for Windows) download the Apache web server for windows, and get the PHP for windows off of php.net. Then you can run a 'local' server that processes your PHP code. Or do the same for a Unix machine... -- Patrick Calkins OEMSupport.Com, Inc. ** please remove the _ to reply ** "Nikola Veber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I have been doing some amateur web-design by now, but I decided to learn > something like php.
