Script for Posting Orders

[Dubya008]

I've found the following PHP code from the ShopSite forum. I was told that it could be changed to post all of the data it is getting to a new URL. I'm not a PHP master so i'm having trouble following it. Can I get some help on where I'd post all of the data to a new URL??

 

<?PHP 

// Note: $_POST variable not available since this script is called as a 
// CGI script, so we have to read in our params from stdin, with length 
// determined by the CONTENT_LENGTH environment variable. 

// Read in POST parameters sent by ShopSite 
$stdin = fopen("php://stdin","r"); 
fscanf($stdin,"%{$SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH']}s",$query_string); 

// And now we split the params into the $params array. 
parse_str($query_string,$params); 

if ( $params['cust_country'] && $params['item_total'] ) 
{ 
// You would normally include code here for determining 
// your shipping rates and options. Remember that all input 
// parameters are in the $params array. 
// 
// The variables to set for the output (assuming you use the 
// output code included in this example) are $status, $options, 
// and $prices. $options and $prices are arrays. 
} 
else 
{ 
$status="fail"; 
$error=urlencode("Params are ".var_export($params,true)); 
$option_count=0; 
} 

// Output data to ShopSite 
echo "status=".$status."\n"; 
echo "option_count=".$option_count."\n"; 
if ($status="fail") 
{ 
echo "error=".$error."\n"; 
} 
for ( $option = 1; $option <= $option_count; $option += 1 ) 
{ 
echo "s".$option."option=".$options["$option"]."\n"; 
echo "s".$option."price=".$prices["$option"]."\n"; 
} 

?>

I would give this a shot:

I'm not sure how CGI-mode changes things... but if you must send it as a POST, you can use sockets to form how your browser would send it, then send it to your new PHP script at the other side of the cloud. Not that difficult, look for some tutorials. If you were an intrepid explorer, you could always make a proxy and catch your own POSTs, but if you could do that, you might be able to do this!!!

$SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH'] should be $_SERVER['CONTENT_LENGTH']

 

if ( $params['cust_country'] && $params['item_total'] ) should be if ( isset($params['cust_country']) && isset($params['item_total']) )

 

if ($status="fail")  should be if ($status=="fail")
