I am not clear in what you want to do. I think the simplest solution is to
build a table in your favorite database with the tracking number and the
vendor. Make another table or switch statement that points to the URL for
the vendors tracking mechanism. Now you can just write a function that
links to the vendoes tracking mechanism passing along the tracking number to
their form. I am not sure if this is legal or they allow permission to do
this on their site.
Otherwise you need to get their data via XML and write whole set of
functions and what not to do something that already exists. This is not
trivial.
