Pass Form Variable to Another Web Page

risingPhoenix

I'm trying to create a form in PHP that pulls data from a web service and displays it under the form in XML.

This project is for my internship and the web service pulls info from a DVD rental company.

So far my form has one UPC number hard-coded into it and when you click submit you another get one result (see http://mondo247.com/rndb/rndbTEST/xmlEX/index14.php).

I want to set any UPC number entered into the form (on index14.php) to be passed as a variable into the XML web page (like "<UPC>".$upc."</UPC>" for example) named data14.php.

My code for both pages is below (everything is real except for the web services URL):

<?php
//index14.php

session_start();

$_SESSION['rnid']='2341';

$_SESSION['rncert']='5E95798A20D9745B67FAFC3661A3EE5C0C5BDF95';

$_SESSION['transType']='GETUPCINVENTORY';

//$_SESSION['upc']='014381501322';
//$_SESSION['upc'] == $_POST['upc'];
$_SESSION['upc'] == $upc;

$_SESSION['itemDetails']='TRUE';

?>

	<br />
	<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

<?php 
$queryString = $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"];

if ($queryString == 'go') { ?>

<?php
function postHttps($url, $request) {
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1) ;
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        return $result;
}
?>

<?php
echo postHttps("https://webservice.exe", utf8_encode(file_get_contents("data14.php")));
?>

<?php } ?>

</body>
</html>

<?php
//data14.php

session_start();
?>

<?php

$xml_output = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";

$xml_output .= "<TRANSACTION>";

$xml_output .= "<RNID>2341</RNID>";

$xml_output .= "<RNCERT>5E95798A20D9745B67FAFC3661A3EE5C0C5BDF95</RNCERT>";

$xml_output .= "<TRANSACTIONTYPE>GETUPCINVENTORY</TRANSACTIONTYPE>";

$xml_output .= "<UPC>014381501322</UPC>";

$xml_output .= "<SHOWITEMDETAILS>TRUE</SHOWITEMDETAILS>";

$xml_output .= "</TRANSACTION>";

echo $xml_output;

?>

Thanks for the help!:p
