Royal Mail Tracking Question

[alex]

I use Royal Mail's Recorded and Special delivery services to send goods sold through my eCommerce site. I then add the tracking code to a database and it is automatically sent to customers who then manually check it on the Royal Mail site.

Is there a way, that anyone knows about, to incorporate the tracking code in a link that the buyer can click instead of manually entering the code?

I have asked Royal Mail's customer service and as yet no reply, so I thought I'd see if anyone here knew.

You could download this and see how it's been done in the code:

Cheers Grant, I'll have a look through it now.

Actually, this looks like it works:

Where X is the tracking number.

Perfect, works exactly as needed and saves me looking through the code

Many thanks,
