Posting to authorize using the transact dll method directly

Alix — Thu, 30 Jun 2016 21:13:09 GMT

I've inrehited some legacy authorized code that proccesses payments in a non-optimal way. I need to fix the script so that it issues a post request (it's currently doing get).

The script does not use the api and instead it just uses this url https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll, and string building with concats to send data to authorize.net

for example this is what processes the payment.

$sPaymentURL = "https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll?" . $sParams;

$ResponseText = file_get_contents($sPaymentURL);

$sParams itself is a concatenation of many vars below

$sParams = "x_test_request=FLASE";
$sParams .= "&x_login=" . urlencode($AUTHORIZE_LOGIN) . "&x_password=" . urlencode($AUTHORIZE_PASSWORD);
$sParams .= "&x_card_num=" . urlencode($x_Card_Num);
$sParams .= "&x_delim_data=TRUE";
$sParams .= "&x_delim_char=|";
$sParams .= "&x_relay_response=FALSE";
$sParams .= "&x_exp_date=" . urlencode($EXPIRATION_DATE);
$sParams .= "&x_invoice_num=" . urlencode($ORDER_NR);
$sParams .= "&x_amount=" . urlencode($tCAmt);
$sParams .= "&x_first_name=" . urlencode($x_first_name);
$sParams .= "&x_last_name=" . urlencode($x_last_name);
$sParams .= "&x_city=" . urlencode($x_city);
$sParams .= "&x_zip=" . urlencode($x_zip);
$sParams .= "&x_address=" . urlencode($tCCAddr1);
$sParams .= "&x_state=" . urlencode($x_state);
$sParams .= "&x_country=" . urlencode($x_country);
$sParams .= "&x_email=" . urlencode($tBEmail);
$sParams .= "&x_email_customer=FALSE";
$sParams .= "&x_email_merchant=TRUE";
$sParams .= "&x_ship_to_first_name=" . urlencode($tNameBuyer);
$sParams .= "&x_ship_to_address=" . urlencode($tShpAddr1);
$sParams .= "&x_ship_to_city=" . urlencode($x_Ship_To_City);
$sParams .= "&x_ship_to_state=" . urlencode($x_Ship_To_State);
$sParams .= "&x_ship_to_zip=" . urlencode($x_Ship_To_ZIP);
$sParams .= "&x_ship_to_country=" . urlencode($x_Ship_To_Country);

what I'm trying to do is use a post request like the example below, where the mData array captures all the variables I need. The problem is I'm not sure how to form the login variable

since it seems it's not an atomic value.

Because login contains two parts (login_id +pasword) how do i form it in the array? as a subarray? or is there another way I can execute this post without using the api?

$mData = array('x_test_request' => 'FALSE', 'x_login' => $ready_x_login,
'x_card_num' => $ready_x_card_num, 'x_delim_data' => 'TRUE', 'x_delim_char' => '|',
'x_relay_response' => 'FALSE', 'x_exp_date' => $ready_x_exp_date,
'x_invoice_num' => $ready_x_invoice_num, 'x_amount' => $ready_x_amount,
'x_first_name' => $ready_x_first_name, 'x_last_name' => $ready_x_last_name,
'x_city' => $ready_x_city, 'x_zip' => $ready_x_zip, 'x_state' => $ready_x_state,
'x_country' => $ready_x_country, 'x_email' => $ready_x_email,
'x_email_customer' => 'FALSE', 'x_email_merchant' => 'TRUE',
'x_ship_to_first_name' => $ready_x_ship_to_first_name, 'x_ship_to_address' => $ready_x_ship_to_address,
'x_ship_to_city' => $ready_x_ship_to_city, 'x_ship_to_state' => $ready_x_ship_to_state,
'x_ship_to_country' => $ready_x_ship_to_country);

$mOptions = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($mData)
)
);

any help will be greatly appreciated
