Newbie question : Using PHP to to receive and forward xml
Posted: Tue Jun 18, 2002 5:19 pm
Hi,
Totally new to PHP so please forgive any ignorance.
I have a Flash built eCommerce website which needs to send/receive xml requests/responses from a banks server. My problem is that Flash can only send and load xml data from its own webserver.
My idea is to use a PHP script as sort of a proxy server that will sit on my webserver and receive the xml request from the client...pass it on to the bank server, receive the xml response from the bank and pass it back to the client.
Can this be done with PHP? If so, does anyone have any good advice and were a PHP newbie should start to try and figure this out?
Much Thanks in advance!
