PHP - Newbie

[toby007]

HI there

 

I have been handed a PHP program and asked to convert it to ColdFusion - unforunately I am not a PHP expert so am struggling with understanding the PHP code fully.

 

I can post/attach the PHP code if anyone is able to shed some light on what is happening in the code.

 

Thanks in advance.

It's heavily commented and PHP's syntax isn't too far off of 90% of other programming languages.. there's really not much we can tell you. Post some code chunks here, some syntax examples, etc and we'd be glad to answer specific questions.

OK

 

Here is what I understand the code to do:

 

initially calls the include file

 

The include file as far as I can tell is used to add a customer record to the file on the other server, just trying to acertain what format the file is passed to the other server

 

I think it is in a comma delimited format.

 

The data being passed to the other server MUST contain the UserID, Password and endpoint, then it may contain any of the fields below. 

 

Really trying to work out what format the file will be in when it is passed to the other server, so I can create a file using ColdFusion that is in identical format.

 

So wondering what the public functions are actually for and do.

 

The file to go to the other server I'm thinking will look like something like Firstname|Stephen, Lastname|Fraser etc

 

Also wondering about the arrays.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance given.
