[Resolved] authorize.net - processing direct response

hi:

i am currently working to implement a credit card processing script using Authorize.net and Advanced Implementation Method (AIM).

The AIM protocol responds to a secure transaction POST with a delimited (and possibly encapsulated) text file.

How would you post to HTTPS in PHP and parse the result while hiding it from the user?

cURL can post data over ssl and return the data.

thanks for your response.

is there any way, short of installing CURL extensions, to safely POST https to another website and process the results behind the scenes?

if you have php compiled with openssl support you can use fsockopen to post over https
