Re: ARB Subscription IDs Available Through Transaction Details API

I am using the XML approach. I am using the example get subscription status code against my authorize account. I am confident my authorization aspect is working as I can successfully create subscriptions. I am now adding the ability to check the status in my application.

I should have done this sooner, simply echo'd out the response string...(I know what to do now, parse it differently)

Here is the $response I got back from the curl call when providing the ARBGetSubscriptionStatusRequest xml string.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2014 17:04:01 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727 Cache-Control: private Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 461 ï»¿ OkI00001Successful.expiredexpired

The correct status of the supplied subscription Id is at the end of the returned response ...

The root of the issue I was/am facing is the format of what is returned is not as expected by the example PHP code I am using. This example code uses the parse_retrun function/method in authnetfunctions.php which looks like the following....

//function to parse Authorize.net response
function parse_return($content)
{
$refId = substring_between($content,'<refId>','</refId>');
$resultCode = substring_between($content,'<resultCode>','</resultCode>');
$code = substring_between($content,'<code>','</code>');
$text = substring_between($content,'<text>','</text>');
$subscriptionId = substring_between($content,'<subscriptionId>','</subscriptionId>');
return array ($refId, $resultCode, $code, $text, $subscriptionId);
}

It is obvious what the example code expects back format wise is not what is being returned.

Here is the example get sub status code....

That doesnt look like just the response.

what did you use the echo this?

You could change the parse_return to include the subscription status
