I am trying to do the following:
A form on one server is being posted to a PHP script (yet to be written) in XML format on another server. I want the PHP script to take the post data and parse it, then insert it into the MySQL database.
Other things that I would like the PHP script to do is:
Make sure that the post is coming over a secure SSL connection.
Authenticate the post before installing to the MySQL database using the username and password passed in the XML stream.
Has anyone done this and can guide me to a place where I can learn this quickly?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
