Next step in my problem(re: earlier post Dynamic URL)

[ziggy00001]

Now that I am able to submit my request to the appropriate URL, I have no idea how to take the information that is returned and INSERT it into a db.

This is an example of what would be returned....

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> 
  <RESULTS>
    <INFO>
      <VERSION>1.6</VERSION>
      <STATUS>OK</STATUS>
      <SEARCH_ID>53453299</SEARCH_ID>
      <SEARCH_TYPE>Find_Person</SEARCH_TYPE>
      <COUNT>2</COUNT>
    </INFO>
      <LISTING>
        <NAME>
          <FIRST>Dan</FIRST> 
          <LAST>Austin</LAST> 
        </NAME>
        <ADDRESS>
          <NUM>1440</NUM> 
          <STREET>11 Ave</STREET> 
          <CITY>Longview</CITY> 
          <STATE>PA</STATE> 
          <ZIP>98632</ZIP> 
        </ADDRESS>
        <PHONE>5551234567</PHONE>
        <LATITUDE>46.139546</LATITUDE>
        <LONGITUDE>-122.942446</LONGITUDE>
      </LISTING>
  </RESULTS>

As you can see it returns a standard HTTP response with XML formatted data.

If anybody has worked with this type of setup and has a input that would be greatly appreciated.

You would need to use a server-side language to do this, so maybe ASP (in VB), ASP (in JS), PHP, JSP, CFM, CGI, etc.

Does your ISP / hosting company offer any server-side languages?

The thing is this is a client side application.
The HTML page is run from inside a POS application.
I am writing an integration module that sends requests to the URL in order to find new customer data.
The URL then returns the sample code that is automatically populated to the db.

Because I am using an <object> that can only be run from inside the POS application it has to be run from the clients machine.

Any ideas as to how I can pull this off?
