I'm having some problems sending an API call and parsing the XML result. Right now I have a form with all the required data as hidden input fields and the action of the form going to the url of the API. But what happens is it goes to the page displaying the XML results. How would I go about calling the API, sending the required information and simply parsing the XML to gather the response?
you could use [man]fsockopen[/man] or [man]curl[/man] to send http post requests the the remote server, and then read back the response into a string, which you could then parse with whatever functions you will be using.
