php, curl, skipjack, authorizeapi

Anon

I am trying to write a script to process credit cards, I am using curl and have skipjack for a processor. I am trying to user their autorizeapi but it keeps timing out on me. If I submit it in a post form I get the response back almost immediately. However when I use the following code it just times out on me. Is there anyone out there who is using skipjack and has created such and could give some pointers... Thanks in advance...

Here is the code:

$strURL = "https://developer.skipjackic.com/scripts/EvolvCC.dll?AuthorizeAPI&orderstring=ItemNum%7EItemDesc%7E0.00%7E1%7EN%7E%7C%7C&serialnumber=000880027659&sjname=John+Doe&streetaddress=8320&city=Main+City&state=PA&zipcode=85284&accountnumber=4445999922225&month=09&year=03&transactionamount=100.00&shiptophone=5551212121&email=john@doe.com&ordernumber=1025872171231";

$ch = curl_init ();

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, $strURL);

$return_string = curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

if ($return_string=="") {
$message="Error: Could not post to remote system.";
return $message;
}

return $return_string;

Again any help would be appreciated as my head is sore from banging it off the wall.

One of our customers had us help them with curl... not with skipjack but a similar credit card prog. Here's the code that worked for them:

dl("curl.so");

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://secure.iongate.com/iongate.asp");

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // simulate a post

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $pairs); // "a=3&b=5"

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // return data, no print

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); // dont give http headers in output

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,

"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"); // for fun

$result = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

// You POSTed

Thanks,
Unfortunately it didn't work, I got an error on saying it couldn't load curl.so. and it still times out. I am going to have to see if it is something to do with my server or processor. Thanks
