Go back and read my previous posts. You're almost certainly running in sandbox mode still but trying to log in with your production account.

The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is inactive. 

I can toggle on/off test/development sandbox true/false

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

This transaction has been declined. 

 

Now, how can I add a credit card field to the post form  (even though it is unsafe)

It declined because you can't use a test cc# on a production account.

 

With my limited understanding of PHP is that, add the x_card_num field input field and any other input fields on another form(Let said formINPUT) and post to this AIM form and change

$post_values = array(
	// the API Login ID and Transaction Key must be replaced with valid values
	"x_login"			=> "API_LOGIN_ID",
	"x_tran_key"		=> "TRANSACTION_KEY",
	"x_version"			=> "3.1",
	"x_delim_data"		=> "TRUE",
	"x_delim_char"		=> "|",
	"x_relay_response"	=> "FALSE",
	"x_type"			=> "AUTH_CAPTURE",
	"x_method"		=> "CC",
	"x_card_num"		=> $_POST['x_card_num'],
	"x_exp_date"		=> "0115",
	"x_amount"		=> "19.99",
	"x_description"		=> "Sample Transaction",
	"x_first_name"		=> "John",
	"x_last_name"		=> "Doe",
	"x_address"		=> "1234 Street",
	"x_state"			=> "WA",
	"x_zip"			=> "98004"
	// Additional fields can be added here as outlined in the AIM integration
	// guide at: http://developer.authorize.net
);

 to use the post value $_POST["x_card_num"] from the previous from  formINPUT.

Just keep in mind that you really don't want to be sending your credit card over an unsecured connection. Better to get a developer account and set just this page to use it, that way you can use the test credit cards to test your form. You only need to go live and run your own credit card through once when everything's working in developer.

I can't believe we are still talking about this two years later! I see this answer being given over and over again --

"If you are integrating your website with Advanced Integration Method (AIM) using PHP, please be aware that
---the gateway URL is listed twice--once in the cURL configuration, and once again in the main body of the code." SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT?  DOESN'T THE URL IN THE MAIN BODY OF THE CODE OVER-WRITE THE cURL URL?
Then it says: 'USING THE TEST GATEWAY URL in the cURL section of the code will create an Error 13, as cURL would connect to the incorrect server."  SO DOES THAT MEAN WE SHOULDN'T EVER USE THE TEST GATEWAY IF WE'RE DEVELOPING IN AIM?  WE CAN ONLY USE THE PRODUCTION GATEWAY? AND IN TEST MODE?

Would somebody please make this clear?

Thanks.
