Hi,
I can currenlt program in php, fairly well, but my boss has just said he wants to link with a supliers database, they have provided some information, and they use XML, with some java database. Now I know nothing about XML, i work with php and mysql.
So they've given me example XML code, and the script that needs to be submitted to their database, where we pull the information from. I thought it would be easierst, and fastest (he wants it in a week or 2) to use drop down menus, and php to pull the information from our database, then submit it to theirs in XML format.
But I'm not sure how to submit it in XML. Is it as simple as having a form, with the information pulled from our mysql databse, then rather than using $PHP_SELF use request.xml and filling in the variables. I.e. we pull $order_id from our mysql database, and submit to request.xml in xml as <OrderID = "$order_id"/>
Cheers
Ben
