UPS Integration

I've been looking for a couple hours and I can't find a single decent script. I need a PHP script that will allow someone to enter a UPS tracking number on a website, and then display the tracking information. Like how newegg.com does it, if you've ever shopped there.

Anyone used one before? Any recommendations? I'm using PHP 5 btw.

Your going to have to go through UPS's API. Do you have an account with them? A quick Google search shows that you need a "Developer's Key" and an "Access Key".

Timothy Luoma has a web form for looking up all kinds of data. This is the code he uses on that form for looking up UPS tracking numbers:

<form action="http://wwwapps.ups.com/etracking/tracking.cgi" method="get">
	<p class="search">
		<input alt="Track UPS" type="submit"  class="submit" value="UPS tracking" />
		<input type="hidden" name="tracknums_displayed" value="5" />
		<input type="hidden" name="TypeOfInquiryNumber" value="T" />
		<input type="hidden" name="HTMLVersion" value="4.0" />
		<input type="hidden" name="sort_by" value="status" />
		<input alt="Tracking Number" type="text" class="text" name="InquiryNumber1" size="24" maxlength="48" />
	</p>
</form>

Cordially, David

I have both pr0g. I downloaded their XML integration stuff, and the readme files are full of mumbo jumbo that doesn't make sense (to me). So I looked around for some scripts and only one looked promising, but it used PHP 4 and the OO stuff in it didn't work in PHP 5 (well, that's what I think was the problem, but I don't really know OO or the difference between 4 and 5).

webwiz, that's not really what I'm looking for. It's just a form that goes to UPS, I want something that integrates with my site. Thanks for trying though

http://us2.php.net/oop will tell you the difference. PHP5 is backwards compatible with PHP4 OOP methods.

http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/13897.html is probably the best I found from Google.

You may also want to consider searching for mods for known scripts like OSCommerce.

I hired pr0gr4mm3r to create one for me and I'll put it out there for you guys to use. Free of course

Here's the zip

Only works with PHP 5.
