Need to receive orders produced from a shopping cart on another server.
Each will have name/address order & shipto info, plus 1 to many detail records.
No CC stuff. No $$ for edi software.
I'd like to sound halfway intelligent talking to a php developer on the other end as
to how we could handle this (web service pgm?) or simple ftp...
Many orders a day but we a not talking huge volumes. Currently getting it via email.
This then will feed into an inhouse entry system, v6r1 & strictly a RPG shop.

Here's a php script that I use to submit a request to a copy of the w3c
html validator that I host on a local server. I use it for validating
all of the html pages in a local directory.

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$page = "http://validator.invalid/check?uri=$argv[1]";;
if ($fp = fopen($page, 'r')) {
$contents = fread($fp, 100000);
// Find 'Passed validation' or 'Failed validation'
if (preg_match("/\bPassed validation/",$contents)) {
echo(1);
} else {
if (preg_match("/\bFailed validation/",$contents)) {
echo(0);
} else {
echo(-1);
}
}
fclose($fp);
} else {
echo(-1);
}
?>

You could also check out the examples at paypal.com. They have an html
interface, and examples of how to use it from php.
