curl php HELP!!!!

Anon

Ok I have a function for verifying CC cards on-line
The script is fine except after I get the response I can explode it into an array
Here's the return format

"Yauth bla ","bla blabla ()","bla ()"

here's the code I've been playing with:
exec("$curl -d \"$data\" $authnet_url", $return_string);
$returned = explode(",",$return_string[0]);
//then just for checking

echo $returned[0];

// that echo shows nothing

It worked fine when I used the Authorizenet.com but when I switched to mcc it broke. The only difference is the format of the return.

Any Ideas???

Just wondering, cuz I'm really not sure, but you are exploding an array.... normally you would want to explode a string or list of some sort.

It's a return string that's double-quoted.
When it enters the $return_string var it's
cut short by the first double-qoute.

so when I echo the string I get
nothing but Array.
And if I echo the array I get nothing at all

Yea, but you are exploding $return_string[0] which is an array, not a string. so, basically oyu are saying $returned[0] = 'Array";

Tell ya what: echo $returned_string right below the exec() function, and let me know what is there.

here's the code I've been playing with:
exec("$curl -d \"$data\" $authnet_url", $return_string);
$returned = explode(",",$return_string[0]);
//then just for checking

echo $returned[0];

nothing
I had that setup from the get go to verify I
was getting a return from the processor.
When I use a different processor who's format
is like this:
bla,bla,bla bla bla,bla,bla,bla bla,bla

The echo show everything just fine before I
chop it into bits.
