Thanks for the help. I made the change as follows, as I don't mind it be transient data... but I still get the string outputted on the web page. I can parse the string all I want, but the following code still prints out the annoying string on the webpage. Any ideas where I am going wrong? Stan
Here's the code I used based on suggestion: -------------------------------------------------------------------- <html><body> <?php // // A very simple PHP example that sends a HTTP POST to a remote site // $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://secure.ibill.com/cgi-win/ccard/tpcard15.exe";); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"reqtype=authorize&account=107036&password=1111&amount=12 "); curl_setopt($ch, RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $return_data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close ($ch); ?> </body></html> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: phplist [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 7:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FW: [PHP] Re: credit card auth using curl function -----Original Message----- From: Mike Mannakee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 5:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: credit card auth using curl function Absolutely. Your best bet, leaving the most visible way of tracing the steps on any authorization, would be to save the returned string to a file. Open the file and pass the handle to CURL_SETOPT like curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $return_data_fp); Then have your script parse the data and output to the user appropriately. Alternately, you can set RETURNTRANSFER and put the string in a variable, like curl_setopt($ch, RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $return_data = curl_exec($ch); but then the variable is transient and you have no record of the transaction. By using the first option you can retrace the steps of any transaction if you ever need to.
