UPS Tracking Script

I am looking for a script that would allow our
customers to track their UPS package with the tracking # that they
receive from us after their order was processed and scheduled for
shipment. Our website is PHP/MySQL based. That way they can comeback to
our website and input the tracking # and track their package as well as
view any of our new or sale item products.

to their order number. The e-mail you send to the customer contains the
link to the tracking page on your website. You could include the order
number in the URL or just display a list of their current orders and
let them pick the one they want to track. If you wanted to get fancy
you could have your server query the UPS server, parse the XML returned
and display the tracking information on your website. The easier route
would be to just construct a link to the UPS server with the tracking
number in the URL. The link below contains a fictitious tracking number
but should demonstrate what you need.
Track your package.
Good luck.
If you use or plan to use multiple carriers such as the US Post Office or FedEx, then things become much more complicated if you decide to do this yourself. There are also web services that do all this for you that you can link to your web site. Whatever choice you make you need to know that the URL links you put at your web site directly to the carriers are subject to change without notice and they do change. You should also make sure you understand and follow the carrier use policies with whatever you do. This is usually handled automatically when you use a web service or software package.
I hope this helps and good luck!
