Just to follow up and document the fix, after scrutiny I found that UPS
changed the parameter from:

49_residential=2 (for commerical)

to

49_residential=NO

Having the '2' in there broke the whole thing.  I'd like to find a better
way to do this, but at least it now works.

Thanks,

Tom

Hello All,

I have been using the following PHP code (found on the net somewhere) to
connect to the UPS site to calculate shipping.  The code now returns "error"
for the shipping quote.  When I assemble the string myself, I can see that
the program on the UPS site has in fact stopped working.  Does anyone have
any information about this (when did it stop working, did they 'move' the
program, new code to use, etc.)?

Also, has anyone tried intershipper (www.intershipper.net) with PHP?  What
are your experiences?

Thanks,

Tom

    UPS Shipping calculator.  Much of this is re-organized stuff that was
    borrowed from shawnblue at radiotakeover.com.  I fixed a couple of bugs,
    and optimized much of the code for speed (ie switch(), rather than
    a bunch of if() statements, join(), rather than a lot of .=
    statements, etc..  I tested this using the sample code below (using
    various values for my paramaters), and it works pretty well.  Happy
    shipping.

    Sample usage:
    $rate = new Ups;
    $rate->upsProduct("1DM");    // See upsProduct() function for codes
    $rate->origin("08033", "US"); // Use ISO country codes!
    $rate->dest("90210", "US");      // Use ISO country codes!
    $rate->rate("RDP");        // See the rate() function for codes
    $rate->container("CP");    // See the container() function for codes
    $rate->weight("2");
    $rate->rescom("RES");    // See the rescom() function for codes
    $quote = $rate->getQuote();
    echo $quote;
