Can the creation of an Event make a call to a PHP routine passing parameters and ingesting results?

I am creating a simple Reservation Booking site using JEvents. I want the user to select dates from the calendar and when the event is saved I'd like to trigger a PHP script that makes API calls to a pricing site and return the results for user approval.

I've got the API and am working on the module to support it. What I need to know is does JEvents have a way to make the call to my code when an event is created?

Thank you....
Hello,

Is this post creation or pre-creation? In essenance yes, you can create a Plugin and hook it in. See:

For pre-creation



		$dispatcher     = JEventDispatcher::getInstance();

		JPluginHelper::importPlugin("jevents");

		$res = $dispatcher->trigger( 'onBeforeSaveEvent' , array(&$array, &$rrule, $dryrun));


For post-creation:



		$dispatcher     = JEventDispatcher::getInstance();

		JPluginHelper::importPlugin("jevents");

	        $res = $dispatcher->trigger( 'onAfterSaveEvent' , array(&$vevent, false));



Many thanks
Tony
