thorpe, No, I didn't look in the PHP manual because I didn't know what I was looking for and it would be silly for me possibly spending hours and hours looking for what I needed, when I could just ask someone for help that knows more about PHP than me. Thanks for the link to the operator. ManiacDan, Ah, I didn't know. Thanks for the tip!

I remember reading about a PHP operator that will allow me to use information from a previous MySQL entry or something. What I am doing is executing this via PHP: $query = "INSERT INTO orders (id, content, events) VALUES (null, '".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['order']['cart']['content'])."', '".date(DATE_RFC822)."\nORDER WRITTEN TO DATABASE\n')"; Then later on in the script I need to use: $query = "INSERT INTO orders (events) VALUES ('".date(DATE_RFC822)."\nEXECUTING PAYMENT\n') where id = XXXXX"; Where "XXXX" is the id. "id" is auto incrementing which is why I used "null" in the first query. So, I need to use the id number that was incremented. What was that PHP operator again??

I solved the problem with: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

Oh Dear. Thats what I thought aswell! This is the response I get: What could be wrong with it?

Yeah, I noticed the double execution myself and removed it. I close $ch with curl_close() because that is how curl_close() is used in the PHP manual. Correct, the echo is not working. all I see is the output response (the XML). I am getting these issues in my error log: PHP Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found simplexml_load_string(): 1 simplexml_load_string(): ^ PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object

I tried this, but am getting the same result as before. Have I mucked up? $data = '<egateway> <eCardExpiryMonth>01</eCardExpiryMonth> <eCardExpiryYear>04</eCardExpiryYear> <eCardHoldersName>Joe Bloke</eCardHoldersName> <eCardNumber>4444333322221111</eCardNumber> <eCVN>123</eCVN> <eTotalAmount>100</eTotalAmount> </egateway>'; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $edata); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.example.com/gateway_cvn/testpage.asp'); $response = simplexml_load_string(curl_exec($ch)); if ($response -> eTrxnStatus == 'True') { echo "True 1111111111111."; } curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); ?>

Joel, That wouldn't help because I would not be able to set variables on the page being sent to me. Thanks anyway though. silkfire. Thanks for that mate. I'll start reading into that string now to see how it works exactly. Do you know how I can hide the response XML?

I send off this: <?php $data = "<egateway> <eCardExpiryMonth>01</eCardExpiryMonth> <eCardExpiryYear>04</eCardExpiryYear> <eCardHoldersName>Joe Bloke</eCardHoldersName> <eCardNumber>4444333322221111</eCardNumber> <eCVN>123</eCVN> <eTotalAmount>100</eTotalAmount> </egateway> "; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $edata); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/gateway_cvn/testpage.asp"); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); ?> In return, I get the following XML: <eResponse> <eTrxnStatus>True</eTrxnStatus> <eTrxnNumber>20219</eTrxnNumber> <eAuthCode>123456</eAuthCode> <eReturnAmount>100</eReturnAmount> <eTrxnError>00,Transaction Approved(Test CVN Gateway)</eTrxnError> </eResponse> Is there a way to make it so this does not show, and instead I can make PHP do something like: if (eTrxnStatus == True) {// do stuff}; ?
