I am trying to record a part of this string. Should I format this some other way?

1,1,1,some text here,ABCD,Y,55678759949,FGRTUD  <<<string

$split = explode(',', $xml->directResponse[6]);
$txnid = $split[6];

$txnid should equal '55678759949' but it doesn't like that format for some reason. If I put $txnid ="1234"; my page will save it with that value.

First of all, remove the unnecessary stuff from inside your php tags in your post, the whole thing is malformed.

Now, if you're saying that you've printed a string and verified it to be:
$yourString = ' 1,1,1,some text here,ABCD,Y,55678759949,FGRTUD';

Then this:
$pieces = explode(',', $yourString);

Would result in '55678759949' being in $pieces[6];

Have you verified the contents of the string, the contents of the exploded array, or anything else?

This is how debugging works. Print the string. is it correct? print the array. is it correct? print the resulting value. is it correct? continue until there are no more problems.

[mallen]

Yes I have verified 55678759949 is directResponse[6];

and I have echoed it and printed that number. I can get any of those parts. My question is this part.

$txnid = $split[6]; //does't work
$txnid = "55678759949"; //works

Thank you for your help 

[ManiacDan]

Var_dump this value and make sure it's a string of the proper length. Maybe you have a space.

[mallen]

Yes I var_dumped and have the correct places. The value is correct just that $txnid doesn't get the value assigned to it unless I hard code the number. I thought maybe something is missing a bracket or quotes.

[ManiacDan]

var_dump($split[6]);

See if it's the right number of characters.

[mallen]

I get NULL on var_dump($split[6]); If I var_dump($txnid); I get the number.

the string comes from a XML reply

<directResponse>1,1,1,some text here,ABCD,Y,55678759949,FGRTUD</directResponse>



If I echo $xml->directResponse I will get 1,1,1,some text here,ABCD,Y,55678759949,FGRTUD



I need $txnid to hold the value of 55678759949

[ManiacDan]

I need $txnid to hold the value of 55678759949

But you said...

If I var_dump($txnid); I get the number.

Either your problem is solved, or one of us is not understanding what's happening.

Change your script to this. Copy and paste the results here:

var_dump($xml->directResponse[6]);echo "\n<br />\n";
$split = explode(',', $xml->directResponse[6]); 
var_dump($split);echo "\n<br />\n";
var_dump($split[6]);echo "\n<br />\n";
$txnid = $split[6]; 
var_dump($txnid);echo "\n<br />\n"; 

[mallen]

I get 3 NULLs and
array(1) { [0]=>string(0) ""


Since the $xml->directResponse is in the same class but from a different method should I be using parent::

[ManiacDan]

So you never verified if $xml was even set?

If $xml is created in some other function, it is not accessible to this function.

You need to either pass it into this function or set it to a variable on $this.

Wherever $xml is CREATED, change all the references to $this->xml

Then, in the function you've shown us, use $this->xml

More information can be found in the manual under "Variable Scope"

Ok that is starting to make sense. I figured since they were in different methods it couldn't be shared. Here are the two methods process() and build()

    function process () {
        global $Mycart;
        $message = $this->build();
        $Response = $this->send($message);
        
        
        if ($status == "2" || $status == "4"){ 
    
            $message = $xml->messages->message->code;
            
            $code = $splitted[0];
            
            if (empty($message)) { 
                new MycartError(__("A configuration error occurred while processing this transaction. Please contact the site administrator.","Mycart"),'authnet_error',MYCART_TRXN_ERR);
                
                return;
            }
            new MycartError($xml->messages->message->code,'authnet_error',MYCART_TRXN_ERR);
                var_dump($xml->messages->message->code);
                
                return;
        }
        
        
        

        $txnstatus = $xml->messages->resultCode; 
        
        $Mycart->Order->transaction($txnid,$txnstatus);

    }
    

    

    function build () {
    $Order = $this->Order;
    

 
    $xml = new AuthnetXML(AUTHNET_LOGIN, AUTHNET_TRANSKEY, AuthnetXML::USE_DEVELOPMENT_SERVER);
    $xml->createCustomerProfileTransactionRequest(array(
      'transaction' => array(
            'profileTransAuthCapture' => array(
                'amount' => '10.95',
                'tax' => array(
                    'amount' => '1.00',
                    'name' => 'your state sales tax',
                    'description' => 'description state sales tax'
                ),
                'shipping' => array(
                    'amount' => '2.00',
                    'name' => 'ground based shipping',
                    'description' => 'Ground based 5 to 10 day shipping'
                ),
                'lineItems' => array(
                    0 => array(
                        'itemId' => '1',
                        'name' => 'widget',
                        'description' => 'description of widget',
                        'quantity' => '18',
                        'unitPrice' => '45.00'
                    ),
                    1 => array(
                        'itemId' => '2',
                        'name' => 'widget2',
                        'description' => 'description widget 2',
                        'quantity' => '10',
                        'unitPrice' => '85.00'
                    )
                ),
                'customerProfileId' => '129',
                'customerPaymentProfileId' => '169',
                'customerShippingAddressId' => '120',
                'order' => array(
                    'invoiceNumber' => 'INV55',
                    'description' => 'description of transaction',
                    'purchaseOrderNumber' => 'PON55'
                ),
                'taxExempt' => 'false',
                'recurringBilling' => 'false',
                'cardCode' => '000'
            )
        ),
     
        
    ));

echo "Response: " . $xml->messages->message->code  . "<br><br>";//Ok
echo "Code: " . $xml->messages->resultCode .  "<br><br>";// number
echo "Text: " . $xml->messages->message->text .  "<br><br>"; //Successful

return $xml;//end function

 } 

Would I pass $xml to the method like this?

function process ($xml) 

[ManiacDan]

$message = $this->build();

That says "take the result of $this->build() and put it into the variable $message."

You have that, you HAVE the message.

However, you then 5 lines later use $xml. You do NOT have $xml. $message is the XML message, it's what you got when you ended build() with:

return $xml;

Just use $message.

[mallen]

Ok so like this?

function process ($message) {........


$this->$split = explode(',', $xml->directResponse[0]); 
var_dump($this->$split);echo "\n<br />\n";
echo var_dump($this->$split[6]);echo "\n<br />\n";
$this->$txnid = $this->$split[6]; 
var_dump($this->$txnid);echo "\n<br />\n"; 

[ManiacDan]

No...not even a little bit.

You really need to just read the article on variable scope. Look here:

function process () { 
        global $Mycart; 
        $message = $this->build(); 
        $Response = $this->send($message); 
         
         
        if ($status == "2" || $status == "4"){  
     
            $message = $xml->messages->message->code; 

$message is the XML result from the build() function.

You then check $status, which doesn't exist.

Then you re-assign $message to be some subset of $xml, which doesn't exist.

Most of the variables you use don't exist in the context you're trying to use them in.

You're also running without error-reporting. At the top of your script, put:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Then run your page. You'll see dozens, if not hundreds, of errors relating to these missing variables.

[mallen]

Thanks the error reporting helps. I agree the variables don't exist in the process() method. I am trying to get them from the build() method. I am able to echo the values from the build () method.
