hi there again, have not been able to go to the host PC to change the file, but been thinking about it and not sure you are on the same page as I am regarding this.
the script i am writing is on my server, and i am addressing a clients PC. they are running a point of sale system which is addressed using that IP number. I need to address the client PC on the fly through my script using CURL and obtain the XML. I dont think the 'test' url will work if the script on my server is trying to address the client's PC... let me know if you understand what I am trying to do...
