[Pro] Freeway / Mal's Ecommerce and php script

Has anyone out there applied the php script by Chris Chaudruc (free) that saves Mal’s Ecommerce cart orders to a mysql database? I need more direction than the instructions listed on the script read me file. I have a site that uses Mal’s cart but have no method of saving cart orders to a database.

Having had a quick look at this it looks pretty straightforward.

There are 4 files

Read me - Instructions

config.php - sits on YOUR server and contains the user/pass and connection details for your MySql database to store the Order details (you will need MySql on your server)

cartorders.sql - a file to help you set up the DB on your server

cart_insert.php - the file on YOUR server that is contacted by Mals to instigate the DB population by ‘call back’

Once you have created the database on YOUR server and uploaded the php files (config.php, cart_insert.php) to your server then you will need to set up Mals by
logging in to your Mal’s E-Commerce account and choose the http remote call option. There you will enter the path to cart_insert.php ie

Let us know how you get on.

Even easier is a program Mal’s offers called mOrders. That downloads your orders from Mal’s and puts it in a SQL (DB) format for you. The only catch is that you have load up your program every once in a while to download them, but I do it once a week and it catches them.
