read a "cgi post back to my server"
Posted on 2013-07-01
I am setting up a payment confirmation/fail page and asked the processing vendor for some sample code for retrieving the transaction details and this is the response I got.
"Here is an example of a CGI response post back to the merchant.
{status=DUPLICATE&failReas
"
I really can't figure out how to access that in php, but even in anything would steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help/tips....

Usually this information comes back as a result of an attempt to send a credit card charge attempt. That's the important piece of information to confirm.
The data structure itself looks like a URL-encoded string enclosed in curly { } braces. I would normally decode it like this:
$response = "{ .... that response data .... }";
parse_str(urldecode(trim(t
// Now $parsed_response should be an array...
print_r($parsed_response);

Thanks, that's perfect for making it accessible for this test.
What would I set your first line $response = to in the actual code?

I'm not sure, that depends on your merchant / vendor. Usually it comes back as a response from the charge submission.
e.g.
$response = try_to_charge($creditcardn
e.g.
$response = try_to_charge($creditcardn
My charge submission is a form that redirects to their site, then the user is redirected to the confirmation page....

Usually in that model, the user is redirected back to the final page with the variables in the URL. If you don't see the variables in the URL, you'll have to ask the vendor how you can get them with the redirect approach.
