Okay, I've re-written the application that retrieves product data so it now uses curl, but I'm stumped on the password section.
The way the vendor site is written, it doesn't require a password to get search results. If our salesmen are logged in, they get: Retail Price: 2.02 Your Price: 1.21 But, if they aren't logged in, they get: Your Price 2.02 The login screen is embedded in the search screen and every other screen on the site. Help? Thanks!
