I've designed a website Im running for a sports team I coach in Wordpress (more specifically PHP). For the past few years we have used an online web service that runs a stats based program in Coldfusion. They recently opened up a feed so users can use there own customized websites with their data implemented in it.
They provided me with a feed like so (not going to provide my details for security reasons):
<cfhttp url="http://datafeed" method="post" result="result">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="seasonID" value="29725">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="codekey" value="mycodekey">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="showGameType" value="RS">
</cfhttp>
I have no experience with Coldfusion what so ever and I've tried to do some reading about using this in a PHP environment but everything I tend to find is PHP to Coldfusion, not the opposite.
Because of this I come to stack, Im not entirely sure how this would work within PHP but would cURL be the answer? Ideally Id like to just create a couple wordpress functions and call them on my template pages.
