Very basic setup returning invalid merchant ID or password

dvelguru — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:29:23 GMT

I'm starting out by trying to get a successful connection to "https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll"

<?
function MerchantAuthenticationBlock()
{
	global $g_loginname, $g_transactionkey;
	return
	"<merchantAuthentication>".
	"<name>" . $g_loginname . "</name>".
	"<transactionKey>" . $g_transactionkey . "</transactionKey>".
	"</merchantAuthentication>";
}

function send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content)
{
	$posturl = "https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll";
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $posturl);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $content);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
	$response = curl_exec($ch);
	return $response;
}

function send_xml_request($content)
{
	global $g_apihost, $g_apipath;
	return send_request_via_curl($g_apihost,$g_apipath,$content);
}

$g_loginname = "5mZ4x3eAU";
$g_transactionkey = "9pSyRY9c46be57FQ";

$content =
"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" .
"<createCustomerProfileRequest xmlns=\"AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd\">".
MerchantAuthenticationBlock().
"<profile>".
"<merchantCustomerId>12345</merchantCustomerId>".
"<description></description>".
"<email>test@email.com</email>".
"</profile>".
"</createCustomerProfileRequest>";

echo "Raw request: " . htmlspecialchars($content) . "<br><br>";
$response = send_xml_request($content);

echo '<pre>'; var_dump($response); echo '</pre>';
?>

Response:

string(434) "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

Are you using your live account credentials? They won't work with the test server. You'll need a developer test account.

These are my developer test account credentials.

Try using this URL instead: https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api

Wow, I don't know what is going on with documentation on the internet.

Totally outdated information everywhere.

Thanx Stymiee.

This is how it should be using the John Conde variables, if having trouble using a test account:

    public function __construct($login = '', $transkey = '', $test = true)
    {
        $login    = trim($login);
        $transkey = trim($transkey);
        if (empty($login) || empty($transkey))
