I work as a senior programmer for a web development company in India. This being my first post, Iwould like to thank you all for your contribuations which educates countless many (including myself!) about PHP Programming
Recently we have been told to work on application which will rank medical products from diffrent web sites based on prices. The examples that I have been provided are:
http://www.pillrank.com
If you see this website, it lists several products in diffrent categories. Upon selecting any product, a details page which contains prices from many websites are shown. On clicking the order button the user a taken directly to checkout page of that website for which the price has been selected. Much like an affiliate program !
Now for the clients website, he wants the prices to be updated automatically if the pricing is changed in any of the supplier website. Can this be done ?
I was thinking of using XML but I have no idea of whether these sites use XML for providing data. Do I have an alternative here ?
I am in a fix. Please do check pillrank website to understand what do I mean.
Thanks,
Shou
