how do i send the information via html call

[wynddrop]

I am trying to send basic information to an external site for CC processing where the CC company will collect and process the payment and information from the customer.   They require the request to come via an HTML call only, is there away to do that?   I have set up the backend to set my  account, the URL that needs to be called, and the userid/password.  That appears to be working, but not sure that the call is going out via HTML which is the only way they will accept it in order to collect the information, instead of us collecting the CC info and passing it all to them.   Any help would be great. 

Thanks,

are you coding this yourself?

look at the authorize.net plugin.

it will show you a little more.
Its not html, but you can get an idea

Yes, coding this myself.  I finally figured out how to do the HTML, but now having issues trying to pull the info I set on the Payment screen for the merch acct and so such to use as a variable in the html code in the php file.   The only way I have been able to get to the external CC site is to hard code our merchant id, and pins into the PHP file, but not sure how secure that would be as a short term solution until I get the variables figured out.  Any ideas on the security of setting those with in the php file ?

thanks,

have you looked at how authorize.net gets the plugin parameters?
