sending information collected from our database to another site in XML format either via http or FTP
This program will query data from the database using standard select statements and our existing database subroutines, then process that information into XML and automatically send it out to the other server.
This is actually two programs, one will be run from the web browser or from the command line on an as needed basis, and the other that will run on a regular basis as a cron job.
The http one will be run every time someone pushes a particular button on our site.
The ftp program will be run once a week via cron.
It will be two different servers talking to each other over the internet
If sent http then it is interfacing with their site which has multiple pages back and forth dynamically generated.
The response will be stored in our database, and errors or unsuccessful submissions should also send an email alert to our admin.
This is a PERL project using a MySQL database that has been normalized to the 4th normal form. Please use the word UNDESTOOD in your bid so I know you actually read it. And please do not try to sell me on php or some other language.
A perl style sheet will be provided for the final submission to facilitate easy integration with our existing software.
This bid is for the completed project in addition to the source code. This is a "work for hire" and we will retain all copyrights and other rights to the software.
This is a very simple project for a programmer who knows what they are doing.
