HELP!
Sorry about this long post, but I wanted to as much info in as I could. I will delete or edit it to reduce the length if a moderator wants me to, or if the consensus says so.
Anyone know about PHP/CURL or can recommend a BB, URL, or a person (consultant), or ANYTHING else that can help? Here is my problem:
I am setting up a site with a shopping cart (echoCart) to use with the ECHO merchant account (http://www.echo-inc.com) , from (http://www.openecho.com).
Its a PHP based cart that is based on an older version of the osCommerce cart (http://www.osCommerce.com) and it uses CURL to send transactions to their server. The site is hosted at HostWay. They are my second "tryout" in a 2 week period, the first one didnt have PHP with CURL support as they told me when I signed up. It takes forever to find a hosting site, I'm not looking forward to spending another week or two and more $$ trying to get this to work. Sorry for complaining so much, but I am frustrated.
From phpinfo() the versions they are running are: PHP 4.1.2, CURL 7.8.1, OpenSSL 0.9.6
When trying to send a transaction in, the scripts have an error when calling curl_exec(). I inserted "echo" statements after the call to print the return values from curl_errno() and curl_error().
The script uses CURL to send the data via POST to their secure server via a https://blahblah URL.
Here is the output:
curl_errno(): "27"
curl_error(): "SSL: couldn't create a context!"
On looking through the source code of CURL, The "27" is defined as CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY, however I doubt that this is actually occuring. If you look at the source code for CURL, there isn't a whole lot of information provided when errors occur. If it was my own server, I'd recompile CURL with more debug information to figure out what is going on.
I have read there are some problems with older versions of CURL and PHP. I called HostWay support and they couldn't offer any assistance, as this is a third party script. But, they said they *might* try to upgrade CURL to a newer version --- but I doubt they will. Who knows if this would solve the problem either.
I have been corresponding by email with an Echo-inc support tech, but he was quickly out of ideas, and they don't provide support for PHP/CURL, only things with their part of the cart.
When invoking CURL from the command line with the same fields as in the PHP script, which is set by:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
everything is fine. It WORKS from the command line, but NOT within the script.
I really want to get this going to take advantage of Echo-inc's great prices. I will have low volume and they don't charge any monthly fees if there is no activity.
Any ideas are appreciated greatly.
Thanks for your help! :)
