Thank you very much for your replies! I have 1 more question. Is there any better solution for my problem? or Do you guys have any suggestions for me?

Hi guys! I start to learn PHP and MySQL in the recent month because I intent to launch an e-commerce website. There are two things I want to achieve when I start to learn PHP and MySQL: 1. I want to be able to set up a database to manage my sale (receive order, track order...). 2. I want to be able to place order AUTOMATICALLY with my suppliers website. Until now, I have already figured out most of the stuff in my first goal. But I have no idea how to start with the second one. You know, after my customers order from my website, I will need to figure out: What item did my customers order? and The quantity of each item. When I have all these information, I place order with my suppliers (also through a website). I do it at the end of the day. This is where I get stuck. I don't know how can I automatically place an order. This involve automatically logging to my suppliers website, adding the item I want to order into the shopping cart, automatically fill in the quality. Then select a payment method. (I usually pay by paypal) Then automatically logging to paypal and pay. Some people said that I need to know how to use a web service. In my case, I can use web service with Paypal but there is no way for me to place order on my suppliers' website because they don't have web service. So this is my question: Is it possible with PHP and MySQL to: logging to a site, place order, logging paypal and pay? If it's not, what I need to know to be able to do so? Thank you very much for your time!
