    Posted: 04 August 2008 at 3:09pm
i'm confused and need help.  i'm not too XML savvy.
 
i'm developing a new website.  i'm an ASP guy who has partnered with a guy who is PHP so we talk different languages but we each have information that complements the other.  a rewrite of either side is not a consideration.
 
i would like to pass the UID and Member Name from my ASP side so he can use the values in certain situations.  i know Session variables are out of the question and Cookies can be modified so i'm looking at the HTTP API interface for a solution.
 
i just don't get it.  i don't see how or what i should do to pass him UID and Member Name or even where to start.
 
Can/will someone point me in the right direction to just get me started please?
 
Confused

If you are using ASP do a search on Google for Microsoft.XMLHTTP or MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.

This can be used to send a POST or GET request to another server which then returns an XML response.

You can then parse the XML response using something like Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument to get the data you need from the response.

thanks Bruce.
 
i think i may be trying to do the seemingly undoable. 
 
if a member comes to my asp side first i want to be able to pass UID and Member Name to the PHP side.
 
if a member comes to the php side first i want the php side to be able to determine the UID and Member Name by using the facilities of the asp side.

The API should allow you to talk to Web Wiz Forums from ASP, PHP, ASP.NET or any other language which can use HTTP and XML.
