AIM API method returning errors with no codes

mathceleb1 — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 15:39:15 GMT

I'm working on the AIM API method. It makes it to the process_sale page, but returns errors with no codes. Any idea where I went wrong?

Without showing us process_sale.php code, your guess is as good as our.

Make a modified version of the page that on error does print_r($response); exit; Then paste us that response. Should tell us what's going on.

EDIT: Also put any code or output in a code box - see the fifth icon from the left in Rich Text mode.

I need to include AuthorizeNet.php as well as other files. Let me add this and repost after re-running this fix.

Aha! Error connecting to Authorize.net. So yes, it's not the code - either the test server is down at the moment (this occasionally happens), or you're not including the correct file.

My latest response is posted above. I'm not getting any include errors anymore. I see that the variables are coming down from the POST, but I think it may be going wrong on authorizeandCapture(). Any thoughts you could provide would be helpful. Below is my code for AuthorizeNetAIM.php

Not going to read the huge wall of code. Here's my implementation for AIM, should work with the SDK right out of the box unless they made some major changes in the last few months.

NOTE: This is for the production server. If using with sandbox, set sandbox to true and use a CCV of 900.

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/library/globals.php');
// Includes my Authorize.net ID and key

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/library/anet_php_sdk/AuthorizeNet.php');
// Path to main file of Authorize.net PHP SDK

    $authorize = new AuthorizeNetAIM(
        $GLOBALS['_authorize_id'], $GLOBALS['_authorize_key']);
    $authorize->setSandbox(false);

    $fields = array(
        'first_name' => $_POST['first'],
        'last_name' => $_POST['last'],
        'company' => $_POST['company'],
        'address' => $_POST['address'],
        'city' => $_POST['city'],
        'state' => $_POST['state'],
        'zip' => $_POST['zip'],
        'country' => 'US',

        'phone' => $_POST['phone'],
        'email' => $_POST['email'],

        'customer_ip' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],

        'description' => "{$_POST['type']} initial fee for " . count($_POST['zips']) . " zip codes with {$population} total estimated population",
        'amount' => $_POST['initial_payment'],

        'card_num' => $_POST['card_number'],
        'exp_date' => sprintf('%02d%02d', $_POST['card_exp_month'], ($_POST['card_exp_year'] % 1000)),
        'card_code' => $_POST['card_ccv']
    );
    $authorize->setFields($fields); 

    $result = $authorize->authorizeAndCapture();

    if ($result->error || $result->{'response_code'} != 1)
        $errors[] = "Initial charge declined - {$result->response_reason_text}";

I had to set VERIFY_PEER = false. Do I need an SSL cert when it's time to go live?

Also, I now get this response after doing that:

Response Code: 3 Response Subcode: 2 Response Reason Code: 13 Response Reason Text: The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is inactive

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

mathceleb1 — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:20:36 GMT

I found this documentation for reason code 13:

http://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsereasoncode/

Do I need to point to the live url? I have sandbox set to true right now.

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

TJPride — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 06:24:20 GMT

If you're using a production account, you have to set sandbox to false. If you're using a sandbox account, you have to set it to true.

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

mathceleb1 — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:54:59 GMT

I read on this thread that I need to change the test URL:

http://groups.google.com/group/activemerchant/browse_thread/thread/c31387593ddc6015?pli=1

self.test_url = "https://certification.authorize.net/gateway/
transact.dll"
rather than
self.test_url = "https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll"

When I did this, it returns a 405 HTTP error.

The response returned is:

AuthorizeNetAIM_Response Object ( [_response_array:private] => Array ( [0] => !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

I made sure from the documentation to copy and paste my api login and transaction key into the code directly.

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

TJPride — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 21:05:01 GMT

The Authorize.net SDK should point to the correct URL right out of the box. Are you using a recent, unedited version of the SDK? If not, I suggest redownloading it and this time not editing anything. All the config options can be set in your transaction code, as in my example (see back a few posts).

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

mathceleb1 — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 21:28:25 GMT

I downloaded the AIM PHP SDK from the bottom of this page:

http://developer.authorize.net/downloads/

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

TJPride — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 05:01:41 GMT

Well, that should contain the correct URL's by default regardless of whether you're in sandbox mode or not. Unless the test server is having problems or something, I would think it would have to be a problem with your server connecting via SSL. What happens if you try to send a POST request to yourself at an https:// URL?

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

Trevor — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 22:19:28 GMT

https://certification.authorize.net used to represent an altenative way of connecting to a production account in test mode, but we retired that URL over 3 years ago and it now just points to our sandbox environment. The only two currently valid URLs are:

Production: https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

Sandbox: https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

You should be using secure.authorize.net for a production account, even if that account is in test mode.

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

mathceleb1 — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 05:37:15 GMT

I was sucessfully able to connect using the production server, and turning off my test account.

Last question before I go live: I purchased an SSL and got my certificate. however, I need to make a file out of that certificate so the Authorize.net code can find it. Is it simply a matter of making a text file, pasting in the certificate, and saving it as a .pem file?

My host is not answering my question on this. This might not be the right thread for this, but nobody else can seem to answer my question with my host.

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

TJPride — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 06:03:00 GMT

All the hosting I've used has a control panel of some sort for setting up the SSL. Are you saying there's absolutely no control panel for your hosting?

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

mathceleb1 — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 14:04:55 GMT

They finally created the file and directory for me. Thanks for staying with me on this. Everything worked.

Last Question: When Authorize.net rejects due to a duplicate transation, do they do so based on e-mail address. We are testing a few of my credit cards.

Re: AIM API method returning errors with no codes

Interesting question, but one I don't know the answer to. Going to have to wait for a mod to get on here and post.
