Re: [PHP] How to get PHP to do a POST??
tried it on my own server and found that php assigns the values 'name_x' and Those are really name.x and name.y in HTTP, but since . is not allowed in a PHP variable name, you get _ instead. So UPS is using, almost for sure, name.x and name.y in their variables. (Well, they probably have something else as well, but if you give them name.x and name.y, they'll convert it like they always do.) button on my form, then all works fine, except for the fact that I can't intercept the data comming back from UPS so that I can adjust the prices.

AH! Thank you for this info! This was exactly the problem! When I changed the name_x to name.x, it worked, and UPS' site gave me back what I was looking for.

Or they're using an image input named name; for instance, as a graphic
button. When the user clicks on it, HTTP automatically passes the click's
x and y coordinates as {input's name).x and {input's name}.y.
Before spending too much time hassling over this, it might be worthwhile to
check with UPS about whether they're even using these two values. If
they're being passed from an image map or something, they may care (click
on the shipping center nearest you, etc.); OTOH, if it's just a standard
submit button, they may be ignoring that variable anyway.

[PHP] How to get PHP to do a POST??
Hello all! Here is an interesting problem that I can not solve, maybe one of you know?? Here is what I'm trying to do. I sell a lot of items on eBay, and lots of people ask me for a quote on shipping. We ship via UPS and I go to their site a lot to lookup rates. I decided to make my own web page that links into UPS' with most of the fields already pre-set, and all I want to do is give the user back a total for shipping. I need to manipulate what comes back from UPS first, so I can add to the shipping price to cover materials, etc, then give the final numbers back to the end user. This is where I have a problem. I was able to have my page act as a user-agent, and do the submit itself, however on UPS's site, their submit button is not a button, but rather an image. Since a button is easy to know what values are getting set (ie name=Submit value=getinfo), I did not know what vars the image-submit was setting, since there was no 'value' variable, only a 'name' variable. I tried it on my own server and found that php assigns the values 'name_x' and 'name_y' giving us the xy values of where the user clicked, but UPS does not use PHP, so I don't know what their software sets the submit values to hence it does not work correctly. Their form just thinks something went wrong and displays the beginning again. If I just include their submit button on my form, then all works fine, except for the fact that I can't intercept the data comming back from UPS so that I can adjust the prices. Any idea on how to do this???
