Script help

[Demel]

Hi there

I am having a script that I am trying to implement but my PHP skills are very limited. I asked the author for help but that did not work out and I wonder if someone here can help me a little bit.

1) Would I set the include command listed below into my order form or would I call the script authnet.php as "action" from my order form?

2) Where and How would place the link to a page that acts as a followup after an order has been approved or declined?

3) The "$result = get_auth_result" section - is that where I specify my variables and would it look like this

// "[First Name]",

=

// "$FirstName",

      //     first, include the library file with this statement:
    //         include("authnet.php");
    //     then, send your data to the function (yes, the order of the 
    //     fields must be exactly as shown) and read the result like this:
    //     $result = get_auth_result("[test mode (1 or 0)]", 
    //           "[mode (simple or verbose)]", 
    //           "[AuthorizeNet Login]", 
    //           "[AuthorizeNet password]", 
    //           "[Authorization Code]", 
    //           "[Transaction ID]", 
    //           "[Request Type (AUTH_CAPTURE, etc.)]", 
    //           "[Amount]", 
    //           "[Card Number]", 
    //           "[Exp Date (mm/yyyy)]", 
    //           "[First Name]",
    //           "[Last Name]",
    //           "[Company]", 
    //           "[Address]",
    //           "[City]",
    //           "[State]",
    //           "[Zip]", 
    //           "[Country]",
    //           "[Shipping First Name]",
    //           "[Shipping Last Name]",
    //           "[Shipping Company]", 
    //           "[Shipping Address]",
    //           "[Shipping City]",
    //           "[Shipping State]",
    //           "[Shipping Zip]", 
    //           "[Shipping Country]",
    //           "[Phone]",
    //           "[Email]", 
    //           "[Customer or Account ID]",
    //           "[Invoice Number]",
    //           "[Email Customer (TRUE or FALSE)]",
    //           "[Merchant Email]",
    //           "[Description]")
    //
    //     NOT ALL FIELDS ARE NECESSARY!
    //     If you do not plan to use an argument, you still need to
    //     send a blank placeholder for it, like this: ""
    //     the variable "$result" now equals one of the following:
    //     simple mode:
    //         "1" - this means the card was approved... all is happy
    //         "Error: [message]" - there was a problem with the transaction
    //         in simple mode, [message] will contain the detailed approval 
    //         or decline message that AuthorizeNet returns. Useful for 
    //         telling the user what went wrong.
    //     verbose mode:
    //         In this case the string will be a big chunk of stuff that you will
    //         need to split out yourself. If you are using verbose mode, you are
    //         (or should be) already familiar with the AuthorizeNet interface 
    //         specs and I don't need to go into detail.
    //         

    //     and you may now use the return result in the logic of the 
    //     rest of your application

anyone ? :o

Demel,

Why are you posting to authorize.net this way?? What exactly are you trying to accomplish by this?  To me this code is a waste of time. I use authorize.net and it's very easy to use without all this.  If I were you I would do it like I did mine.  The customer goes to order page fills out required info, then it goes to confirmation page, then that posts to authorize.net to verify information. If there credit card is delcined for some reason, it will take them to a Declined page telling them why it was declined. If approved then it will go to a receipt page I made, according to what the response code ='s.  very very simple. What does this code even do? But if you are determined to use this code, then answers are as follow:

1) On the order form you would set the form action to point to authnet.php

2) I am not sure what you want with this. If you mean a custom receipt page with there order information on it, then you would have to set this up yourself. Inside your authnet.php page above your php code, place some hidden tags like this:

<input type="hidden" name="x_Relay_Response" value="TRUE">

<input type="hidden" name="x_Relay_Response_URL" value="url to whatever page">

If you just want to take them back to a different page, then do the same as above except use these hidden tags:

<input type="hidden" name="x_Receipt_Link_Method" value="LINK">

<input type="hidden" name="x_Receipt_Link_URL" value="Some URL">

3) The "$result = get_auth_result", isn't anything, they are tagged out and have nothing to do with the script. It is just telling you how to set it up.

Hi batman

Thanks for your input. I would love to see an easier way. Unfortunately I have to work with my limited php skills and therefore I was hoping that the script above would a way for me to accomplish what I want to do.

I am selling a product and that's where I need this script for. My order form goes to the confirm page and from there I want to hit authorize.net.

You mention your own code and that it is much easier to handle. Is there a way that I could get your code to work with? Please PM me if possible!

Thanks!
