I am not clear in what you want to do. I think the simplest solution is to build a table in your favorite database with the tracking number and the vendor. Make another table or switch statement that points to the URL for the vendors tracking mechanism. Now you can just write a function that links to the vendoes tracking mechanism passing along the tracking number to their form. I am not sure if this is legal or they allow permission to do this on their site. Otherwise you need to get their data via XML and write whole set of functions and what not to do something that already exists. This is not trivial. /dkm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Sheble (Wizaerd)" <JustForMailingLists@wizaerd.com> To: "General PHP List" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 1:47 AM Subject: [PHP] Tracking shipments UPS, FEDEX, etc... > has anybody written any routines or functions they'd care to share for > parsing the tracking information out of UPS, FEDEX, or other shipping > carriers tracking pages? > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
