Getting an Integer from a URL

[Guest benlogan]

Hi,

I have a url, which works out postage accoring to destination, weight etc..

here is the url

$url = "http://drc.edeliver.com.au/ratecalc.asp?Pickup_Postcode=$frompcode&Destination_Postcode=$topcode&Country=$dest_country&Weight=$sweight&Service_Type=ECONOMY&Height=$sheight&Width=$swidth&Length=$slength&Quantity=$shipping_num_boxes";

entering this in your browser

http://drc.edeliver.com.au/ratecalc.asp?Pickup_Postcode=3793&Destination_Postcode=3867&Country=AU&Weight=5&Service_Type=STANDARD&Height=100&Width=100&Length=100&Quantity=1

will diplay

charge=3.6 days=2 err_msg=OK

.

I would like to integrate that into the flat rate part of cube cart. bu i dont know how to store the "charge" integer.

thanks.

function getPostCharge($posturl)

{

	$all = file_get_contents($posturl);

	$bits = preg_match('/charge=(\\d*\\.?\\d*)/',$all,$out);

	return $out[1];

}



$postcharge = getPostCharge("http://drc.edeliver.com.au/ratecalc.asp?Pickup_Postcode=3793&Destination_Postcode=3867&Country=AU&Weight=5&Service_Type=STANDARD&Height=100&Width=100&Length=100&Quantity=1");

PS: 3.6 is a double or floating point number, rather than an integer.
