php API

[George Botley]

It may sound a stupid question but I have no knowledge of API's using PHP.

 

Could you guys perhaps explain to me how to do it?

 

Sorry in advance.

 

Basically the script is to implement Parcel2go.com into an E-commerce solution so stores can hire shipment in one click.

 

They have provided the API but its not implemented into PHP.

You can always use dreamweaver, I'm sure that would work :/

Without seeing the API its hard to say how to implement it!

I would have to agree.. It all comes down to depending on the API and what its capable of so to speak

There is the API directory. Ideally, it would be the place order and tracking service I will implement.

Hi,

 

The API referred here is a webservice. Try creating a webservice client and call the methods as described in it. Try SOAP extension in PHP.

 

Thanks

Ok... That is what I mean.. lol - I don't actually know how to do that or have no knowledge of doing so. Are there any tutorials you know of?

Just for a basic heads up,

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('log_errors', '0');

// Werservice URL
$endpoint = "http://www.parcel2go.com/api/Parcel2GoApi.asmx?WSDL";

// Create SOAP Client Object
$client = new SoapClient($endpoint);

// Get all the methods from the webservice
print('<pre>');
print_r($client->__getFunctions());
print('</pre>');
?>

 

Try reading these URLs:

 

http://www.php.net/soap

http://www.herongyang.com/PHP/php_soap.html

http://www.phpbuilder.com/manual/en/function.soap-soapclient-construct.php

 

You can always do Google for lot more tutorials.

 

Hope this will help.
