Hi,

I really know very little about php.

I am wanting to find a way check a specific number on a foreign website.

Two websites are involved Site A (Mysite) and Site B (external Site)

Site A - user gets a random code

That user adds this random code to site B

The user then comes back to Site A and clicks next

Site A script goes to Site B and checks the page for that random code

If that code has been added then open another page on Site A.

...

I have asked around but no one has been able to help me.

I was suggested to use file_get_content to get the data
and function rand() for the random code.

...

From my understanding I would create a form that provides the user with the random code
and a button they press after adding the code to site B.

When the button is pressed file_get_content is used to check the code is there and if it is moves to next page of registration,
and if fails an error message.

...

I am not afraid of trying to make this code I really just have no idea where to go to get the information I need to do this.

I would really appreciate any helpful information you may be able to assist me with.

Kind Regards
Kiwi Chris.
