Retrieving XML, provider changed...

[Kristoff1875]

I was retrieving XML from a remote server using the following from a form:

 

ob_start();

//extract data from the post
extract($_POST);


//set POST variables
$url = '***';
$fields = array(
            'ESERIES_FORM_ID'=>urlencode('**'),
            'MXIN_USERNAME'=>urlencode('**'),
            'MXIN_PASSWORD'=>urlencode('**'),
            'MXIN_VRM'=>urlencode($regHome),
            'MXIN_TRANSACTIONTYPE'=>urlencode('**'),
            'MXIN_PAYMENTCOLLECTIONTYPE'=>urlencode('**'),
            'MXIN_CAPID'=>urlencode('**')
        );


//url-ify the data for the POST
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string,'&');

//open connection
$ch = curl_init();

//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);

//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);

//close connection
curl_close($ch);

$str = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

 

But now I need to use a new provider and I think the service is being handled a different way. I've swapped the necessary values in the form to send to the remote server, but i'm not having any joy in receiving anything back, so wondering if it handles a different way?

 

I've been provided the following:

Thanks in advance

This new service isn't offering XML. It's either a SOAP request for $_POST / $_GET.

The new service does provide a remote XML when the details are completed in the form, which is what the old service did also. I think it's just the way it handles it is different?

Sorted, I missed out a value where the xml values are called in to PHP values.
