Custom PHP cURL receives NULL Response

phpjayhawk — Fri, 20 May 2016 19:50:51 GMT

Hey everybody!

This is probably a very simple problem, but I don't know how to fix it. My client wants a custom report of transaction data generated with the system and I don't have access to the server to be able to load up the SDK. I think this is going to be no problem, but for some reason all I can get back from the sandbox is "NULL."

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

<?php
$cert_path 	= dirname(__FILE__).'/ssl/cert.pem';

$test_url 	= "https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api";
$prod_url 	= "https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api";
$url 		= $test_url;

$api_id 	= "MY_LOGIN_ID";
$account_key 	= "MY_TRANSACTION_ID";
$request_type 	= "getSettledBatchListRequest";

$string 	= '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><'.$request_type.' xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd"></'.$request_type.'>';
$xml 		= @new SimpleXMLElement($string);
$merchant 	= $xml->addChild('merchantAuthentication');
$merchant->addChild('name', $api_id);
$merchant->addChild('transactionKey', $account_key);
$as_xml 		= $xml->asXML();

$ch 		= curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $as_xml);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 45);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
if( file_exists($cert_path) ){ 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, $cert_path); 
}
$result 	= curl_exec($ch);
echo curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$result 	= json_decode($result, true);
var_dump($result);
?>

I'm guessing it might be that I can't find the .xsd file in the SDK.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks, @RichardH .

I will leave this up in the hopes that someone knows the answer, but I did resort to using the SDK and an answer to this issue is no longer neccesary for me.

Hi,

I realize you have resorted to using the SDK, but for anyone who may be interested, below is what works for this particular API call and language:

<?php

$xmlContent = '<getSettledBatchListRequest xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd">
  <merchantAuthentication>
    <name>YOUR_API_LOGIN</name>
    <transactionKey>YOUR_TRANSACION_KEY</transactionKey>
  </merchantAuthentication>
  <includeStatistics>true</includeStatistics>
  <firstSettlementDate>2017-05-01T16:00:00Z</firstSettlementDate>
  <lastSettlementDate>2017-05-31T16:00:00Z</lastSettlementDate>
</getSettledBatchListRequest>';

  $url = 'https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api';
  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml'));
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlContent);
  $result = curl_exec($ch);
  echo $result;
  curl_close($ch);
