Re: [PHP] How to get PHP to do a POST??

2001-06-28 Thread Richard Lynch

 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.

Search the archives for Rasmus' posttohost function from way, way, way
back when.

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. Thanks again, you're a lifesaver!

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.
