create booking button within PHP

[alltech]

Have a website that i am developing http://www.wheels4rent.net and need help with PHP. when the dates etc and location is entered i have a deep link into another site and i have done this with PHP. This displays cars etc and prices. However i want to have a "book" button in the list_car.php page next to price of cars so that when this is selected it will give customer another page to book but unsure how to do this. The <book> section i have in XML generated from another site and it is CDATA i need to know how to create a button with the CDATA info within as each car will have different CDATA info within the "book" section. Please assist

What i am missing and require is the CDAT which is in the <book> section and for example please see below on different CDATA as i need this info for final booking which will go to thriftys booking page although i still want my logos to appear on my web page if possible. below is info from thrifty but i cannot seem to have a "book now" button and link to final booking page???

You can get a quotation with a call like this: location UK001 (Heathrow) 10/10/2011 09:00 - 12/10/2011 10:00 Manual cars only
http://www.thrifty.co.uk/cgi-bin/gen5?runprog=thxml&xsrc=7qhfqou3&mode=quote&xloc=UK001&xpuyear=2011&xpumonth=10&xpuday=10&xputime=09:00&xdbyear=2011&xdbmonth=10&xdbday=12&xdbtime=10:00&xclass=M xclass can be left blank for all, or
M - manual
A - automatic
B - estates and 4x4
P - people carriers
I - minibus
Z - prestige
V - vans and trucks (Heathrow doesn't have these)
X - everything except vans/trucks/minibuses
If xlocdrop is given it should send an appropriate location code (same field codes as used for loccode) eg xlocdrop=UK002
You should use the location call to decide whether this one-way is permitted. ie UK002 should have onewayend=Y
and UK001 should have onewaystart=Y
The xml returns the following formatted reply with a deeplink within the <book> section which jumps in at the quote stage at www.thrifty.co.uk
<Quote>
