$_POST values to Worldpay https thru a script and not a form

[Angelos]

Hello,

For long time now I am trying to POST some variables from a form to a
script and then that script POST them to another External page or
payment gateway like worldpay.

The reason I want to do that is because I want the user to enter his
details in my website and then post them in Worldpay and continue any
other steps he has to do to pay and then ofcourse using the callback
function right back to the database if the transaction was Succesfull or
not.

I used curl like in the example bellow:
$urlString = "cartId=56997&n ame=fred";
$ch = curl_init("http s://select.worldpay .com/wcc/purchase");
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_POSTFIE LDS, $urlString);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_FOLLOWL OCATION, 1);// allow redirects
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_RETURNT RANSFER, 1);
echo $data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch) ;

but thats not working as I expect it to work.
I would excpect to redirect to https://select.worldpay.com/wcc/purchase
and post the values in the $urlString.

My code sort of does that but it includes the worldpay page in my website.


Can you please help me leading me in the right way ?

Yes, because you are telling it to do it. Get rid of echo, and it
won't...

But when I get rid of the echo it still doesn't redirect me to worldpay :s

$urlString = "action=1&actio n=2";
$url = "https://select.worldpay .com/wcc/purchase";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_URL,$ur l);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_POSTFIE LDS,$urlString) ;
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_FOLLOWL OCATION, 1);// allow redirects
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

THat does exactly the same...
without the echo.

Don't you need to authenticate somewhere?

Anyway, you may want to try this HTTP client class that supports
redirection and cookie handling. If it does not work for some reason,
you can enable debug output to see exactly the dialog with the server to
figure what is going on:

It's redirecting the curl client to the worldpay site, and only if the curl
client has been configured to follow redirects. That's not going to help
anyone :)

Instead of doing it like this, why not have your PHP construct a hidden form
that you submit using javascript to the url in question. That would
redirect the client to worldpay, instead of just the curl client.

hope that helps!
