newbie needs help with integration

firedude

I've set up phpshop as an e-commerce solution and now I'm attempting to integrate TPP-Pro to handle credit card transactions. Apparently, this has never been done with phpshop and to compound matters I'm a bit new to php.

From what I gather from speaking to someone at the phpshop site/forum this integration can be done; however I'm a little lost as to how to do it.
TPP-Pro has a basic html form that transmits the information to a secure server. From what I understand its basically just redirection for the CC transaction. I'm told I need to ->add function to my ps_checkout.inc file. So my first question is this what is a "./add function" and how might I do this?
The second thing that was suggested that I do is after the add function use the cURL script from www.kreisler.org/surepay/index.php (amended / altered of course). How does this fit in to adding the function?
That should be a start if there's anyone out there that can help. Any assistance, recommendations or suggested further reading would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry guys I made a little mistake in the first message. That should have been ->add function. Is he saying I need to add a function here? If so how do I do that and what does the -> mean?

"->" means you are working with objects. 'Adding a function' would actually be adding a method to the object.

I'm afraid I can't help you much further than that since you will have to do some reverse engineering 🙁

Read up as much as you can about PHP's OOP functions, that'll get you a lot closer to figuring out how the scripts work.

Good luck!
