Here are the details you should use for sending messages to a test version of the gateway that you can use to develop your system:

URL= http://81.105.223.86:80/cni
SourceSystem= KVCARS
SourcePassword= Ketchup96

You can use any SourceAccount name, except blank. If you use SourceJobType=Account, you will book an account job, anything else is mapped to Cash.

There are test target system called TARGET1 that is configured to receive jobs. target systems has a simulator running that will simulates a fleet of vehicles (one of around 100 vehicles the other around 50). The simulated vehicles should accept and progress jobs sent to them.

Here are the details:

Target1 URL= http://86.17.13.109:81/Webbooker
Account= *KV001*   (including the asterisks)
User= KVCARS
Password= Ketchup96

Answer 1

$url = " http://86.17.13.109:81/Webbooker ";

    //setting the curl parameters.
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

// Following line is compulsary to add as it is: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "xmlRequest=" . $input_xml); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 300); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);

    //convert the XML result into array
    $array_data = json_decode(json_encode(simplexml_load_string($data)), true);

    print_r('<pre>');
    print_r($array_data);
    print_r('</pre>');
