thanks for your help, finally cracked it :-), i was a long the right lines before but not quite there so your example really helped me to figure out the structure.

It looks like it is the if isset($_post[*] that is causing the issues, i took one of the shortcodes out and it displays fine – any ideas how I would fix this/get around it?

yes this is from my outer shortcode handler function, I have updated the code but still nothing seems to be happening, could it be the input buttons themselves? Can’t figure out how I could set up a debug to figure out why it’s not working here is my extended code:

thanks, it doesn’t seem to be working though am I missing something?

Just in case anyone else comes across my post while looking for help, it turns out it was a problem with the way the ssl was set up on the server, if you have the same issue add ‘sslverify’ => false in the remote get array and this should solve the issue.

thanks for your help, I still seem to be returning no data when I call the api though 🙁 really don’t know what I am doing wrong…
