Gathering info from Shipping Tracker

[lilith2014]

Hello ppl! new in here and in php.

 

I need to create a php file where a customer can track 4 shipments instead of one. I meant "instead of one" because right now the site has capability for only one tracker.

The thing I need to know is how to pull out the information from the tracker and how can I make 4 trackers instead of one. I dont know where to start.

the website is www.cglship.com and you will see the tracker at the right bottom corner. Basically my job is to re skin the website using Joomla! as a CMS, so In a module I will include this 4 trackers.I thought was only creating 4 input box calling the tracking.php file but Im not sure whatsoever.

 

Thank you all

Make four different input boxes and call post data for each. Assign each input a different name, like "track1", "track2" and so on. In the dhl or fedex sites ive seen the option to enter several track ids seperated by comma. So a simple script should be:

 

<?php
$track = $_POST['track']; //a dump value like: "123,133,444, 576"
$track = explode(',', $track);
foreach($track as $val){
    $val = intval(trim($val));
    $results = mysql_query("SELECT place FROM tracking WHERE trackid=$track");
    if(mysql_num_rows($results) == 0){
         echo 'We dont have a shipment with the track number: ' . $val;
    } else{
         $values = mysql_fetch_array($results);
         echo 'The package is in: ' . $values['place'];
    }
}
?>

 

Hope this helps.
