This is probably not the right place, but I did not know where to place it. Sorry if it is in the wrong place.

How does one get the output from a third part script to output the output from the script into a drupl page.

Like you want to have a script that outputs a form and the results of that form back into that page. Say you have a PR checker or a backlink checker.

Thanks in advance for all your asistance.

If you have the script on the same server, it should be possible to create a node, set input format to php-code, and write a bit of code, namely include_once() to get it in. (Assuming there's no collision in - for example - function names, and that the script is safe.) The node will then show the output of that script. I did it a few times already :-)

Check the script first, to see how (and if) this is possible. Some basic knowledge is advisable here.

Hi I'm wondering if this was worked out as I need to do the same thing. I have heard of using Curl but I don't quite get my head around how to make it work?

The code I currently have is below in HTML that creates a link that when clicked triggers a javascript opens a page with the 3rd party order form (step 1). What I would like is for the for to appear in the same drupal node which is why I was thinking of using an IFrame however the Iframe won't let me put code in just a URL.

However if the IFrame pointed to a URL that I made that somehow automatically triggered the javascript then I think that would somehow work?! but sounds too complicated

The situation I have is that I have a panel page with panes set up a tabs and 1 of the panes containing a View as its content. I was try with the view to display the node with the IFrame.

My question is how can Curl help this situation?

thanks
