Remote Verification

Anon

I am NOT a PHP programmer, I can make my way aroung a already written program, but I do know PERL, and have built a perl script to call another script, to verify some data to make sure they OWNER of the script has NOT given away the script to anyone else, I use a PERL module called Net::SSLeay to do a "Remote" call in the background, to the other script, but I cannot get PERL to send a response. If I where to change this to PHP, is their a way PHP can accept the data from the form(make_form) and then send back a response after verifying the data?

If I need to explain it better let me know, I'm opperating on about 2 hours of sleep, and have been trying to get this to work for the past 3 weeks, and continuously for the last 15 hours.

Thank you.
Richard.

Hi Richard,

I am sorry! But i am not able to understand your question.

Can you explain this part in detail

"I use a PERL module called Net::SSLeay to do a "Remote" call in the background, to the other script, but I cannot get PERL to send a response."

I might be able to help.....not assuring anything .. will give it a shot though.

And also tell me what Net::SSLeay does ? As you might have guessed i do not know PERL.

Thanks,
Karthik.

Sure... Net::SSLeay is a module used by thousands of developers to connect to another website, while the browser is waiting for a response. Kinda like this:

You go place an order for a product, it does this->
When you hit Submit it POSTS the data to a CGI Gateway at a bank, the bank makes sure thy credit card is ok, If approved it then places a charge on it, Then sends back the Response as Approved or "Y". If denied it sends back a response of Not-Approved or "N".
The browser is still looking at the submit button, they don't know what is going on. At the VERY least, it's automatic, NO wait. It's pretty fast. Anyways that is what I was trying to explain, I already know how Net::SSLeay makes the "CALL" to the Opposite Script, which most of them I use, it connects to a ASP script, that my Credit Card processing company uses. Now I'm getting into deeper things of programming, trying to have the 1st script connect to the second script, run it, and then get the response, bring it back to the 1st script, and if it's a Y then continue with the process, If it's anything else then say SORRY.

All this while the browser does not ever know it left the site, so the user does not know that anything is going on. That is what I mean by a "Background" Process. More like a interface.

I do have a PHP program, that is for live help, it's amazing, I leave the window open, and the site knows if that little window is open or not, and displays the correct banner.
If I don't click logoff, or go offline, and just close the window, the site STILL knows I am NOT online, If I just unplug the computer, and NOT close the window, the site STILL knows I'm not logged on. that is sooooo cool, I call that a background process. If you look at the window, you don't know it's in communication with the window, it looks like a static page.

I love this program, and wish I knew how to do things like that. I'm a self learner, I don't do school, or books. I learn from playing with the code, the books I leave for skimming through. I'd rather be doing stuff with code, trying to make something small work, then I get into bigger and better things. My next learning object is going to be PHP, but I am soooo busy I just don't have time to play with it, other then when I'm installing a php script, then I get to learn a LITTLE bit of it. So far what I've seen, is VERY similiar to PERL, so I should be able to learn it fairly easy, when I start trying to.

Thank you, If you need furter explanations let me know, I'll try to do better. Been another long day. 🙂
