PHP - [help]1shoppingcart.com Php Implementation

Hey Guys,

Im using an API to run a few calls and im not too experienced with them

$character = $armory->getCharacter('bob'); // Character name

This is the call it is making now apparently if the name bob doesnt exist then it is meant to provide a "FALSE" response but im just wondering how to check the response - when the name is correct everything displays as it should do

What im aiming for is to get the following somehow

$character = $armory->getCharacter('deathecus');// Character name
If the name exists > continue on > if its false then redirect to a not found page

Hello,
I am new to payment gateway.
I am trying to implement http://www.firstdata.com as the payment gateway in my application. I found that the address Validation System(AVS) will work only after the approval of the transactions. This is strange!!. So I planed to do an pre-auth to check the address, and then do the actual transaction. But if the address validation is failed, I need to release the amount reserved by the pre-auth request. How can I do that. I don't find any way to do that. Void will cancel the completed transaction and not the pre-auth. I tried to post - auth with 0.00 amount, but still it does the ticket only transaction for the full amount reserved by the pre - auth request.

Please help me.

Hi All,

I'm in the process of learning PHP and I don't know everything so please bare with me. I'm trying to have a simple e-mail script which will send a nice e-mails with variables from a previous form. I don't want to use my PHP servers predefined e-mail settings but define them myself. I plan on using G-Mail's SSL SMTP protocol. Upon looking up scripts for e-mailing I'm always coming across

Code: [Select]
require_once "Mail.php";
in the code with no explanation on where that file is located. I'm currently using this code for to see if it works:

Code: [Select]
<?php
 require_once "Mail.php";
 
 $from = "Sandra Sender <sender@example.com>";
 $to = "Ramona Recipient <recipient@example.com>";
 $subject = "Hi!";
 $body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
 
 $host = "ssl://mail.example.com";
 $port = "465";
 $username = "smtp_username";
 $password = "smtp_password";
 
 $headers = array ('From' => $from,
   'To' => $to,
   'Subject' => $subject);
 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
     'port' => $port,
     'auth' => true,
     'username' => $username,
     'password' => $password));
 
 $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
 
 if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
   echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  }

But I get the error

Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Class 'Mail' not found in C:\wamp\www\Quiz\sendmail.php on line 16
If anyone could be so kind to give me an explanation and assist me in understanding, that'd be great.


Thanks,
Evan

Writing an app that requires symmetric encryption.

I need to be able to have a key (such as 123) and be able to use this key and encrypt a string. Then decrypt the string later using the same key.

This encryption needs to be pretty robust and unbreakable.

Any functions or suggestions?!? Thinking of using the mcrypt library in some way.

Hi,
My site was recently "hacked" in the sense that Google was made to crawl a rogue page and came to believe it was the original site. This caused a catastrophic decline in Google position and decline in traffic.

In researching the issue, it seemed that the solution was to install a forward-confirmed reverse DNS on the site.

Yet I've found little information on how to actually implement this.

I'm working on a code example I found, but I'm unsure exactly how to apply this even assuming I can get it to work.

For those interested in this issue  the original site is www.tickerfind.com , the duplicate site is www.handj.net. If you Google "tickerfind.com" you can get the cache, and from this you can see that Google thinks the site is found at handj.net.

One of the puzzling things about the sample code (http://smbrown.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/verify-googlebot-forward-reverse-dns/) is that it appears to be determining whether the bot is "good" or "bad", yet I thought the issue was not the bot itself but where it was retrieving the pages to scan. Somehow I thought it would be a "prevention of redirection" type code.

So first, I suppose my question is: Am I on the right track. And if so then I can dig into the code. But I'd certainly need to understand why it works.

Thanks,
Jeff
