not getting reponse back from paypal post

[rdrobertson15@yahoo.com]

thanks in advance

 

I am using Yahoo webhost with PHP 5.3.6.

 

The application is returning from a Paypal Sandbox transaction. I have the settings on my sandbox correct. I am trying to get the transaction info.

 

i put in some debugging lines so now I get this at the top of the webpage:

 

"CURL_INIT Resource id #3 Response: STATUS: "

 

i perform a $_GET on the calling page and I do get that info displayed.

i try to print what is returned from the function below and get nothing

 

 

Notice the Response and STATUS: have NO info

 

This is code(thanks Torleif Berger who's currently not available) from another page that does the call after Paypal returns to it:

 

<?php include 'process_pdt.function.php'; 

$payment_data = isset($_GET['tx']) 
              ? process_pdt($_GET['tx']) 
              : FALSE; 

$current_url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; 
?>
-----------------------------------------

The process_pdt code follows

<?php
<?php include 'token'; 

/** 
* Processes a PDT transaction id. 
* 
* @author     Torleif Berger 
* @link       http://www.geekality.net/?p=1210

* @return     The payment data if $tx was valid; otherwise FALSE. 
*/ 
function process_pdt($tx) 
{ 

        // Init cURL 
        $request = curl_init(); 
printf("CURL_INIT %s\n",$request);

        // Set request options 
        curl_setopt_array($request, array 
        ( 
                CURLOPT_URL => 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr',

                (

                        'tx' => $tx, 
                        'at' => $my_token, 
                )), 
                CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, 
                CURLOPT_HEADER => FALSE, 
                CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => TRUE, 
                CURLOPT_CAINFO => 'cacert.pem', 
        )); 

        // Execute request and get response and status code 
        $response = curl_exec($request); 
printf("Response: %s\n", $response);

      $status   = curl_getinfo($request, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); 
printf("STATUS: \n",$status );

        // Close connection 
        curl_close($request); 

        // Validate response 
        if($status == 200 AND strpos($response, 'SUCCESS') === 0) 
        { 
                // Remove SUCCESS part (7 characters long) 
                  $response = "SUCCESS";
/*              $response = substr($response, 7); 

                // Urldecode it 
                $response = urldecode($response); 

                // Turn it into associative array 
                preg_match_all('/^([^=\r\n]++)=(.*+)/m', $response, $m, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); 
                $response = array_combine($m[1], $m[2]); 

                // Fix character encoding if needed 
                if(isset($response['charset']) AND strtoupper($response['charset']) !== 'UTF-8') 
                { 
                        foreach($response as $key => $value) 
                        { 
                                $value = mb_convert_encoding($value, 'UTF-8', $response['charset']); 
                        } 

                        $response['charset_original'] = $response['charset']; 
                        $response['charset'] = 'UTF-8'; 
                } 

                // Sort on keys 
                ksort($response); 
*/
                // Done! 
                return $response; 
        } 

        $response = "FAIL";
        return FALSE; 
}

Are you using IPN(instant payment notification)? If so is it enabled in your merchant tools?

[rdrobertson15@yahoo.com]

no I'm not. Using PDT.  Don't really need IPN for this app.  Just need to get the info from a class registration payment from paypal.  the curl_init seems to work.  it's the

     $response = curl_exec($request);

and

      $status   = curl_getinfo($request, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

 

that don't appear to be working.  Is there a timing issue? I got the code from someone else but it's missing something.

 

thanks

problem solved. for testing i don’t want certificates

 

so set ” CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => FALSE, ”

 

this got me a response. 

 

thx again
