@Aaron was nice enough to provide me some code to do basic Authorize & Capture CC processing.
I think I have finally figured out how the XML template works, but am struggling to understand the code related to the request and response.
Here is the code I have so far...
// Address to send Credit Card Request to Authorize.net
$url = "https://apitest.authorize.net/xml/v1/request.api";
try{
$ch = curl_init();
if ($ch === FALSE){
throw new Exception('failed to initialize');
}else{
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml->asXML());
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/xml'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 300);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE, false );
$content = curl_exec($ch);
$content = str_replace('xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd"', '', $content);
$PaymentResponse = new SimpleXMLElement($content);
if ($content === FALSE){
throw new Exception(curl_error($ch), curl_errno($ch));
curl_close($ch);
}else{
echo '$PaymentResponse = ' . $PaymentResponse;
exit();
}
}
}catch(Exception $e){
trigger_error(sprintf('Curl failed with error #%d: %s', $e->getCode(), $e->getMessage()), E_USER_ERROR);
}
// End script.
exit();Questions:
1.) Do all of the cURL statements above just send the Request?
2.) What is the purpose of these two lines?
$content = curl_exec($ch);
$content = str_replace('xmlns="AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd"', '', $content);
3.) If the cURL statements in #1 above are just sending the Request using a POST, then why are we assigning the results of curl_exec to a variable?
4.) What does this code do?
$PaymentResponse = new SimpleXMLElement($content);
if ($content === FALSE){
throw new Exception(curl_error($ch), curl_errno($ch));
curl_close($ch);
}else{
echo '$PaymentResponse = ' . $PaymentResponse;
exit();
}Any help in helping me understand how this code works would be *greatly* appreciated so I can start using Authorize.net to make some $$$ for both of us!!
Thanks,
Sally
