When the user clicks a link on our backend, a popup page is to interrogates a local MySQL database for the order information, and then 3 seperate, but identically layed-out supplier's websites to report back the buy price, supplier's inventory level and eta (if known).
First step, a simple MySQL query will provide the program with the product models for a particular order.
Eg. Order #3234 has 2 x 740B-BL and 3 x 740B-SL:
*SELECT products_model, products_quantity FROM orders_products WHERE orders_id = '3234'
*will return:
products_model products_quantity
740B-BL 2
740B-SL 3
Second step, the program then curls another page (using a cookie to login) and "reads" through regular expressions the buy price, inventory level and eta (if available).
Third step, same as the second, but for another supplier - it's actually the same supplier, but a different branch - the layout of the site is all EXACTLY the same, but the password, buy price, inventory level and eta are all (probably) different.
Fourth step, same as the third, but for another supplier - it's actually the same supplier, but a different branch - the layout of the site is all EXACTLY the same, but the password, buy price, inventory level and eta are all (probably) different.
Lastly, the information is shown in a grid, with colour coding to show any stock problems. Similar to picture shown.
