Direct Post Method - Switching from test to live?

raspberryh — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:58:27 GMT

Hi,

I am using the Direct Post Method.

<?php
require_once 'anet_php_sdk/AuthorizeNet.php'; // The SDK
$url = "http://www.....com/direct_post.php";
$api_login_id = '...';
$transaction_key = '...';
$md5_setting = '...'; // Your MD5 Setting
$amount = "5.99";
AuthorizeNetDPM::directPostDemo($url, $api_login_id, $transaction_key, $amount, $md5_setting);
?>

It seems to be working, but I am not sure what I need to do to switch from test mode to live mode (other than changing the option in my account).

I tried setting the constant in AuthorizeNet.php:

define("AUTHORIZENET_SANDBOX", false);

...but this did nothing (it still submitted to test.authorize.net).

I also tried changing the line

protected $_sandbox = true;

protected $_sandbox = false;

in AuthorizeNetRequest.php, but that also made no difference :(

Finally I just changed the actual values in AuthorizeNetAIM.php and AuthorizeNetDPM.php:

const SANDBOX_URL = 'https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll';

const SANDBOX_URL = 'https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll';

...that at least made the URL change ...but I know that is the wrong way of doing it, and also, I don't know if there is something else that also needs to be changed in the code. There must be an easy way of switching this code over to live, but I can't seem to find it in the documentation.

Help?

Thanks!
Heather

Inside AuthorizeNetDPM.php:

public static function getCreditCardForm($amount, $fp_sequence, $relay_response_url, $api_login_id, $transaction_key, $test_mode = true, $prefill = true)

As you can see, $test_mode is passed after the transaction key.

public static function directPostDemo($url, $api_login_id, $transaction_key, $amount = "0.00", $md5_setting = "")
...
            echo AuthorizeNetDPM::getCreditCardForm($amount, $fp_sequence, $url, $api_login_id, $transaction_key);

Just add yourself a new argument for $test_mode and then pass it. Something like:

public static function directPostDemo($url, $api_login_id, $transaction_key, $amount = "0.00", $test_mode = true, $md5_setting = "")
...
            echo AuthorizeNetDPM::getCreditCardForm($amount, $fp_sequence, $url, $api_login_id, $transaction_key, $test_mode);

Then call the function like so:

AuthorizeNetDPM::directPostDemo($url, $api_login_id, $transaction_key, $amount, false, $md5_setting);
