Project Description:

I need a new option in the OSCommerce admin section that read the prices for products from an external website and updates the prices of the corresponding products in OSC.

The instructions below are the detailed requirements for this development. It is long, but really simple. An experienced programmer used to OSC can most probably do it in a working day.

The new feature will be a new page linked from Tools. The new page will have the next options:
- Read the external site and store the information (in a new table in OSC)
- Produce report of what needs to be updated.
- Report of new products (products in the external site but not in OSC)
- Report of obsolete products (products in OSC but not in the external site).
- Load production products table into a temporal products_table
- Execute price updates on the temporal products_table (not in the production table). The swap between the temporal products table and the production products table will be done manually and therefore is not part of this project.

All reports need to have a format compatible with .csv (doing copy/paste of result webpage).

The information that needs to be read from the external site are:
- product code: this is what links the products in OSC with the products in the external site.
- Description of the product
- Minimum Units of the product
- Type of unit
- price

There are two prices in our customisation of OSC, the purchase price and the sell price. To update the prices in OSC the following formulas need to be used:

new_cost_price = new_cost_price_read_from _external_site
new_sell_price = old_sell_price/old_cost_price * new_cost_price



Newly added descriptions:
This is quite a simple project for an experienced php developer with knowledge of OSCommerce.

It is just scrapping the external webpage and update price information is OSC.

I'm a programmer myself but without the time to do it, but I could do the coding in one day and complete the testing/fixing in another day.

I'm looking for bids up to 100$
