Hi guys,

I have a need to run a script in the order confirmation process which sends an order through to a supplier via fput after creating an xml file.

I already have the code working to do the job but currently it is not automated.

I wish to include the script somewhere like
includes/classes/order.php

after the order confirmation email part as I assume at this point the order has already been confirmed etc so that it is done automatically.

What I am a little concerned about is my lack of knowlege of the current script I am using for fput. For example, when connecting to the ftp server I use the code:

PHP Code:
// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); 
this is fine running on a script on its own in isolation, but if I used this as is, would the
or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server");
part affect the rest of the process running normally in the case that the ftp server wasn't available??

any advice would be appreciated or any better suggestions on how I could implement.

Cheers

Phil
