    Any examples how to do that? In a php script..

    I know they're (BMT) doing a HTTP request on the correct php file; and I'm just E-Mailing the _POST array back to myself, just to test. But it's empty!

    Maybe it's something to do with that newfangles xml malarky..

    Anyway, does anyone have an example of how to get at the data they send?

    Thanks,
    Jamie. :)

    do a $xml = var_dump($_REQUEST);

    email that and see what's there.

    I had to use:

    Code:
    $xmlString = file_get_contents("php://input");
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlString);
    To get the POST variable.
