I need to be able to process credit card payments online using a CyberCash account. The problem is that I am using a shared hosting account and am not able to recompile PHP to include the CyberCash payment functions. (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.cybercash.php)
Has anyone been in this situation before? Any suggestions on how to work around this?
Hey, you look familier..... 
Anyway, as noted CyberCash has been moved to the PECL packages, http://pecl.php.net/package/cybercash I think you have to install it as a PECL package. Dono for sure, never used it.
ok, so I've downloaded this PECL module, now how the heck do I install it? That site has absolutely no documentation.
Tried extracting it
phpize
./configure --with-cybercash=/root/mck
make
make install
make and make install do nothing
I can do a "pear install cybercash-1.18.tgz" but that only copies over the cyberlib.php file to php's ext dir, not compile the modules
Jenni, it's 2007 and I'm in the same boat as you. Been using the same payment gateway since 2000 and now that I'm making a change to a new system, new shopping cart, I find out that this gateway isn't compatible. I need to keep using it, for now anyways. I hired a programmer to write a payment module using this old cybercash mck method, but he says that the webhost needs to recompile PHP, which they won't do. Is there a solution here??
Use an updated application package that supports newer extensions, or
Find a webhost that suits your needs.
In other words, there's absolutely no way it can be made to work without recompiling PHP?
