New Mod: Embed Products onto third Party Site

[systemagic]

Hi All,

I have made this mod to embed products onto third party sites.

Ideally the 3rd party site will use file_get_contents or just file and read the output.

I have created a file embed.php and this is the code I have used:

  require('includes/application_top.php');


  $pID = zen_db_prepare_input($_REQUEST['products_id']);
  $product = $db->Execute("select * from products where products_id ='" . (int)$pID . "'");

while (!$product->EOF){
$image  = "<img src='http://********.com/shop/images/";
$image .= "{$product->fields['products_image']}' width=150/>";

$url  = "http://***********.com/shop/index.php?";
$url .= "main_page=product_info";
$url .= "&products_id={$product->fields['products_id']}";
$url .= "&action=add_product";


print "<form method='post' ";
print "action='$url'>\n";

print "$image\n";
print "<br />Price: $";
print sprintf("%.2f",$product->fields['products_price']);

print "<input type='hidden' name='cart_quantity' value=1>\n";

print "<input type='hidden' name='products_id' ";
print "value={$product->fields['products_id']}>\n";

print "<br /><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Buy Now!'>\n";
print "</form>";

break;
} 

Any reviews, suggestions, critiques?

Thanks,

Leonard

not sure how easy this is to implement.
if I put this file on each of the other sites and call it, it will then do as as I ask, but would need to be a constant update by each site.
would be nice if it was always updated and easy to manage for each of the other store owners, like in admin, and choosing which categories (1 or more), then submitting that to the main site.
So in Admin of a particular site, the owner could choose the categories and hit submit...

Leonard-

Where will I be uploading this module, as I have been trying to find the right file to upload it into. Can you give some steps on how to do this for the zenners who are not php, website savy.

Instructions:
Upload this file to domain.ext/zen/cart/path/embed.php
Then execute http://www.domain.ext/zen/cart/path/...?products_id=3

The instructions is the txt file states this above, but I don't know where to look first.
