isError seems to always return true

alanm123 — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 03:24:42 GMT

Switched to using AuthnetXML.class.php for all api calls. When I add a payment profile to a customer profile, I'll get a response like this:

<createCustomerPaymentProfileResponse>
  <messages>
    <resultCode>Ok</resultCode>
    <message>
      <code>I00001</code>
      <text>Successful.</text>
    </message>
  </messages>
  <customerPaymentProfileId>8227492</customerPaymentProfileId>
</createCustomerPaymentProfileResponse>

but even though it's successful, I find that $xml->isError() always returns 1. Am I missing something?

Does this happen with any other APIs calls? Or only this one?

Seems to happen with others as well. I haven't tried all, of course, but here's another example. If I run

$xml->createTransactionRequest($my_request_array);

per the example in authnetxml\examples\aim\createTransactionRequest_authCapture.php, I get the following odd result:

Results

Response	Ok
code	I00001
Successful?	no
Error?	yes
authCode	YRZ26K
transId	2177473315

The php for the Successful? and Error? values is this:

<?php echo ($xml->isSuccessful()) ? 'yes' : 'no'; ?>
<?php echo ($xml->isError()) ? 'yes' : 'no'; ?>

And the raw $xml Input/Output shows this:

Weird, no?

I'm running under a sandbox/test account, of course. Would that matter?

So I need to know:

1. Am I doing something wrong?

2. Is there a problem with AuthnetXML?

3. Should I ignore the isError and isSuccessful values and just test for messages->resultCode == "OK" ?

4. Is AuthnetXML the official Authorize.Net recommended way to go, or should I go back to using the individual api classes?

Thanks

I was able to verify this bug. It's kinda odd since all I did was change comparison operators from === to == and it works properly now. In this case === should work so I'm going to see if i can figure out why it doesn't out of curiousity.

If you go to github you can get the updated code or just edit your Authnet.class.php file like so:

    public function isSuccessful()
    {
        return $this->response_xml->messages->resultCode === 'Ok';
    }

    public function isError()
    {
        return $this->response_xml->messages->resultCode !== 'Ok';
    }

becomes

    public function isSuccessful()
    {
        return $this->response_xml->messages->resultCode == 'Ok';
    }

    public function isError()
    {
        return $this->response_xml->messages->resultCode != 'Ok';
    }

Thank you!! I've corrected my copy of the file. Hey, I'd love to know why the === doesn't work, if you ever figure that out!
