UPS Shipping

Hi,

I have a client who is wanting to compute UPS shipping charges for his
orders.
I believe it is possible to query a UPS service (well, something online, be
it a normal cgi ro real web service) to compute actual shipping costs of
parcels from within ones shopping cart script.

Am I correct in this, does anybody know where I can find information
regarding how this is done? I'm busy searching the UPS website, but not
turning up much?

Thanks,
Mark

(script is in PHP btw, which is why I posted here, not sure where else it
would be more relevant!?!)

A couple minute of Googling turned up this:
http://www.ec.ups.com/ecommerce/solutions/index.html

That should be a starting point but since I've never done this kind of thing
before that's the best help I can give..
