    PayFlow Pro...No support



    --
    I have a problem that I am hoping someone can help me with. I am trying
    to design a custom shopping cart for a friend. He wants it designed a
    specific way so an integrated cart won't work for his purposes. No problem
    there. We have a VeriSign/PayFlow Pro account with an SSL cert, however the
    hosting company which we are using did not compile PHP with the --with-pfpro
    extension and claim that they can not recompile as it is a shared server.
    Is there a way to "real time" proccess credit cards working around this
    limitation? I have been looking through the docs (that are available) from
    VeriSign for the SDK, but can't seem to make sense of the perl sources (Perl
    is not my strong point.)
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

      Unless the site is going to be getting more than 500 transactions a
      month, I'd go with the PayFlow Link instead. That way all the processing
      is actually done on the verisign server so you don't need the pfpro
      support compiled into PHP.

      I haven't used it before, but the dl() function can load a PHP extension
      at runtime. It may be possible that would work for the pfpro extension:

      PHP: dl - Manual
      http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php
      Loads a PHP extension at runtime

          OK, I think I am now officially going nuts!
          I tried to dl(pfpro.so) (along with the usual extension checks) and it
          says the module doesn't exist. I talked to VeriSign and they said that the
          payFlow Link option is not available on our server (it is a shared server).
          Interland (our server) has told me "You can put a php.ini file in the /html
          folder, but can not add any modules that were not installed in the first
          place." (duh)
          I know that in its VERY basic form, getting the code returned from
          VeriSign is a matter of sending user information along with login info to a
          program on VeriSign, but it seems that everyone is coming up with blank
          stares on their faces. (Interland has all but told me that it can't be done
          unless I use the Miva cart that comes on the server...Have to love that..But
          I don't believe that for a minute!)
          Any other suggestions out there? Help save a man's sanity! lol
          Thanks a ton!
