Retrieving Variables

One of my clients uses a software program called 1shoppingcart for credit card processing etc. I need to retrieve some variables from their site, after approval of transaction, and pass them to our db. I talked with their support, and they told me that they pass certain variables to the "thank you page" and he gave me a list. he said that they use a "post" to do this. My problem is that when they go to the thank you page, I need to retrive them and them insert them into my db. Can anyone help...I need this clients page up by thursday (long story...just one of those clients that markets before they have a product).

well.. the provider says the information is in $_POST.. so look for your information there. :?

most providers encode the data.. they often have their own encoding algorithms that they (normally) tell you about as a developer.

If the information is stored on your side, kick it into the local database as a tentative order (unconfirmed) that you keep for... 6 hours or something..
