PHP SDK for AIM is only for legacy method?

winternet — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 14:51:40 GMT

Is it really true that there is no PHP SDK for the latest AIM XML implementation and only for the legacy method described in AIM NVP documentation?!

I can't figure out how to use what is described in http://www.authorize.net/support/AIM_guide_XML.pdf in the PHP SDK...

If you doing your own coding with the pdf documentation.

Start with the sample code, not the SDKs.

Can certainly code it myself - but I was just hoping to save some time by using the SDK.

And then I was surprised to see that the SDK doesn't support XML and the new features it brings (like automatically create a customer profile based on a submitted transaction).

But I guess I will have to just do it from scratch with XML. XML is annoying though - I wish they had used JSON instead - so much easier for everybody!

Hello @winternet

I can confirm we do plan to convert the PHP SDK to use XML instead but we don't yet have a time line from the product team for delivery.

As a follow-up, we just release JSON support in Beta. Read more about it here: http://community.developer.authorize.net/t5/The-Authorize-Net-Developer-Blog/JSON-Beta-New-Product-Ideas-Forum/ba-p/48721
