I'm developing a website that has the unlucky situation of being situated on a host that does not have CURL installed on it.
This is basically what I'm trying to do: $ch = curl_init(); /// initialize a cURL session curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate";); /// set the post-to url (do not include the ?query+string here!) curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); /// Header control curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); /// tell it to make a POST, not a GET curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$y"); /// put the query string here starting with "?" curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); /// This allows the output to be set into a variable $xyz $xyz = curl_exec ($ch); /// execute the curl session and return the output to a variable $xyz curl_close ($ch); /// close the curl session Basically what this will do is send an XML file to UPS, to get shipping rates which are returned as an XML file from UPS. The script has to sit and wait for an answer from the UPS servers. Does anybody know of a way of doing this without using CURL? Jason Cathcart
