//$resultcsvString = stampwantsFileCommand("temp.csv");
//echo $resultcsvString;


function stampwantsRequestSold(){
	GLOBAL $username,$password;
	
	// We submit the request to stampwants
	
	$FileCommandURL = "http://www.stampwants.com/filecommand.php?username=".$username."&password=".$password."&type=sold&FCdateFrom=lastdownload";
	
	$ch = curl_init(); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $FileCommandURL );
