Innovative Gateway Solutions PHP script - need help!

[Guest]

Hello. Does anyone any have experience using the PHP scripts provided by Innovative Gateway Solutions (IGS) to send credit card transactions to their gateway? I'm using the code from their own website (http://www.innovativemerchant.com/support/developers/documentation.php).

 

However, when the example.php script calls the PostTransaction function, it doesn't return any useful information as to whether the transaction was successful or not, even though the code is supposed to do this. I've also tried it with a real merchant user ID and password, and I'm still not getting any results.

 

By the way, my code is running on a Linux server with PHP 4.3.11, an SSL certificate installed (by GoDaddy.com), and with cURL support enabled.

 

If you've had this problem before and know a solution (other than switching to another merchant!), please help, as I have a project that needs to be completed in the next day or two. Thanks!

 

BTW, the code I'm using is below, as provided by IGS:

Basically, it turns out that I had to supply the IP address and port number of the proxy server that my hosting provider, GoDaddy, uses for my hosting account.

 

So you actually need to update the PostGateway.function PHP file, even though the documentation tells you not to modify this unless you've got something strange going on.

 

So I merely changed one line of code as follows:

 

Before:

 

$proxy = ""; // If you use a proxy server to connect

 

After:

 

$proxy = "http://64.202.165.131:3128"; // Contact your hosting provider to get the correct IP address and port #

 

I couldn't believe this worked so well!

 

Hope this helps anyone in the future who may be dealing with this.

[rubygirl]

would you please explain what and how you installed this contribution and got it to work? There seems to be so many people struggling with this issue - any help would be great!

[CD Monster]

Yes, could you please mention what you did, where this code goes.. niether godadddy or innovative is helpful.

 

thanks

[Guest]

If you need help with this contribution please contact me. i'm currently doing an implementation.

[redturbo917]

thanks for everyone's comments here.

 

I just called Innovative Solutions and they do not provide tech support for osCommerce. So these postings are a great help to our project as well.

 

 

I am assuming everyone here is using the Innovative Gateway Solutions Module, v2.40B. You can find it here: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4502

 

 

I think it's time to have a step by step guide on using oscom with Innovative Gateway Solutions. I will post what I can here. thanks for all of your comments!
