(97) This transaction cannot be accepted

pierini1 — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:26:24 GMT

Hello,

i have got a free TEST AUTHORIZE account to process credit card transactions but i always get this final error:

The following errors have occurred.

(97) This transaction cannot be accepted.

My hosting server is www.eshost.es

I read solution reported here:

http://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode97/

but i do not understand these 3 things:

1) Your timestamp = 97 seconds.
The Authorize.Net system timestamp is 1364404392 seconds.
The difference is -1364404295 seconds.

HOW DO I CALCULATE MY TIMESTAMP ????

2) Solution always reported here:

http://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode97/

tells this:

PHP
In the simlib.php file, replace the following line:
$tstamp = time ();
with this:
$tstamp = time () - (time difference in seconds); or $tstamp = time () + (time difference in seconds);

but in my TEST AUTHORIZE ACCOUNT installed folder named "anet_php_sdk" there is any simlib.php file.

So where is my simlib.php file ?

3) Verify that the time on the Web server that hosts the SIM script is configured correctly to the GMT time zone. You can also modify the SIM script to format UTC.

How do i verify that my web server (www.eshost.es) is configured correctly to the GMT time zone ?

Goodbye.

2) http://developer.authorize.net/integration/fifteenminutes/#hosted

simlib.php is in the sample code

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

pierini1 — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 08:37:12 GMT

No.

I downloaded sample code and it is the same file i had already downloaded with test authorize package.

So any more suggests about my problem ?

EXCUSE ME, I DOWNLOADED SIMLIB.PHP BUT NOW I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO PUT IT IN MY AUTHORIZE PACKAGE.

SO WHERE DO I INSTALL SIMLIB.PHP ??

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

RaynorC1emen7 — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:19:01 GMT

Oop. look like there is the old sample code. Where did you see

PHP
In the simlib.php file, replace the following line:
$tstamp = time ();
with this:
$tstamp = time () - (time difference in seconds); or $tstamp = time () + (time difference in seconds);

Just change the code in step 3 of the http://developer.authorize.net/integration/fifteenminutes/#hosted

$fp_timestamp = time();

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

pierini1 — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 07:58:58 GMT

i changed the step 3 code like you said but i still get that error:

The following errors have occurred.

(97) This transaction cannot be accepted.

Anyway, how do i find out my web server time ?

My web server is www.eshost.es

And what is default time zone for Authorize.net displayed here ?:

https://sandbox.authorize.net/UI/themes/sandbox/Settings/TimeZone.aspx

I mean, which one of time zone shown in this pic ?:

From http://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode97/

This error is received when the timestamp value submitted in x_fp_timestamp is either 15 minutes ahead, or 15 minutes behind in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) (this is the equivalent of 900 seconds ahead or 900 seconds behind in Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC).

From http://php.net/manual/en/function.time.php

The function time() returns always timestamp that is timezone independent (=UTC).

From your orginal this is not right

1) Your timestamp = 97 seconds.

pierini1 — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:01:59 GMT

but how do i check my web server time ?

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

RaynorC1emen7 — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:16:30 GMT

but how do i check my web server time ? contact the server administrator

That shouldn't matter as

From http://php.net/manual/en/function.time.php

The function time() returns always timestamp that is timezone independent (=UTC).

pierini1 — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:09:46 GMT

it still does not work.....

i put right server time but it is not working...

How come ?

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

RaynorC1emen7 — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:04:40 GMT

does it match? http://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode97/

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

pierini1 — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 06:03:54 GMT

Well, you can see my web server time here:

http://digitalsoftware.eshost.es/horario.php

and yes sure, it matches in http://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode97 because its value is -10

Anyway can you tell me what do I have to edit in my sim.php scritps in order not to get this error:

The following errors have occurred.

(97) This transaction cannot be accepted.

This is my script to be edited in TIMESTAMP values:

<?php
require_once 'anet_php_sdk/AuthorizeNet.php'; // Include the SDK you downloaded in Step 2
$api_login_id = '2eGa3jT3V';
$transaction_key = '4wPT8m36C3G682kH';
$amount = "5.99";
$fp_timestamp = time() - ();
$fp_sequence = "123" . time(); // Enter an invoice or other unique number.
$fingerprint = AuthorizeNetSIM_Form::getFingerprint($api_login_id,
$transaction_key, $amount, $fp_sequence, $fp_timestamp)
?>

<form method='post' action="https://certification.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll">
<input type='hidden' name="x_login" value="2eGa3jT3V" />
<input type='hidden' name="x_fp_hash" value="<?php echo $fingerprint?>" />
<input type='hidden' name="x_amount" value="<?php echo $amount?>" />
<input type='hidden' name="x_fp_timestamp" value="<?php echo $fp_timestamp?>" />
<input type='hidden' name="x_fp_sequence" value="<?php echo $fp_sequence?>" />
<input type='hidden' name="x_version" value="3.1">
<input type='hidden' name="x_show_form" value="payment_form">
<input type='hidden' name="x_test_request" value="false" />
<input type='hidden' name="x_method" value="cc">
<input type='submit' value="Click here for the secure payment form">
</form>

Run to the form post page, and look at the web broswer page source. See if the hidden x_fp_timestamp input field value is set correctly.

Yes, the x_fp_timestamp value is correct but the problem is every second it changes.

I mean, my webserver time DIFFERENCE changes every second so i am not sure i checked the DIFFERENCE correctly.

I checked DIFFERENCE here:

http://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode97/

In Enter your timestamp (in seconds) box i entered this value:

1365399141

because my web server time shown here:

http://digitalsoftware.eshost.es/horario.php

told me it.

but when i click again in my web server time link:

http://digitalsoftware.eshost.es/horario.php

the value changes all the times infact now it tells me:

1365399198

so that difference cannnot be set in sim.php

What is right time difference ?

Yes, the x_fp_timestamp value is correct but the problem is every second it changes.

I mean, my webserver time DIFFERENCE changes every second so i am not sure i checked the DIFFERENCE correctly.

So, did you actually look at the form post page source of the x_fp_timestamp value or just http://digitalsoftware.eshost.es/horario.php ?

"is either 15 minutes ahead, or 15 minutes behind", so if it close, it would be ok.

Also, for test account, form post to https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

pierini1 — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:47:50 GMT

input type='hidden' name="x_fp_timestamp" value="-10" />

Where is the error ?

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

RaynorC1emen7 — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:52:53 GMT

the value should be like what you have in http://digitalsoftware.eshost.es/horario.php

e.g. 1365771149

and not -10

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

pierini1 — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 10:53:06 GMT

so why they told to insert the DIFFERENCE in seconds ?

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

RaynorC1emen7 — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:46:09 GMT

no, they tell you to make it close to what authorize.net

http://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode97/

is getting by subtracting or adding to what your server time is.

Re: (97) This transaction cannot be accepted

pierini1 — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 19:55:26 GMT

Ok so this is the result:

Your timestamp = 1366055474 seconds.
The Authorize.Net system timestamp is 1366055480 seconds.
The difference is -6 seconds.

so i have go tto put 1366055474, right ?

But the problem is my timestamp (1366055474) changes every second.....so is it right to put 1366055474 ?

For example now it is:

Your timestamp = 1366055685 seconds.
The Authorize.Net system timestamp is 1366055690 seconds.
The difference is -5 seconds

So do i have got to put 1366055474 or 1366055685 ?
