    <p>OK, I have this php file for my HSBC bank processing using the API, I have this working fine on 2 of my other websites, however the SAME file is failing on the other two sites, I have no idea why. My web developer is stumped and decided to create a test file, Here is the code from the test file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo "payment processing..."; $amount = 100;// round($_POST["realamount"], 2) * 100; $fullName = "test";//$_POST['name']; $Address1 = "test";//$_POST['address1']; $Address2 = "test";//$_POST['address2']; $city ="test";// $_POST['city']; $county = $city; $postcode = "test";//$_POST['zipcode']; $country = "GRB";//$_POST['country']; $phone = "test";//$_POST['telephone']; $email = "a@a.com";//$_POST['emailaddress']; $cardNumber = "337877666233434";//$_POST['cardNumber']; $cardExp = "03/2011";//$_POST['ccmonth'] . "/" . substr($_POST["ccyear"],2,2); $cvdIndicator = "111";//$_POST['cvdIndicator']; $cvdValue = "111";//$_POST['cvdValue']; $issueNumber = "111";//$_POST['issueNumber']; $cardType = "VI";//$_POST['cardType']; $testRead = "&lt;?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?&gt; &lt;EngineDocList&gt; &lt;DocVersion&gt;1.0&lt;/DocVersion&gt; &lt;EngineDoc&gt; &lt;ContentType&gt;OrderFormDoc&lt;/ContentType&gt; &lt;User&gt; &lt;Name&gt;xxx&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Password&gt;xxx&lt;/Password&gt; &lt;ClientId&gt;xxx&lt;/ClientId&gt; &lt;/User&gt; &lt;Instructions&gt; &lt;Pipeline&gt;PaymentNoFraud&lt;/Pipeline&gt; &lt;/Instructions&gt; &lt;OrderFormDoc&gt; &lt;Mode&gt;P&lt;/Mode&gt; &lt;Comments/&gt; &lt;Consumer&gt; &lt;Email/&gt; &lt;PaymentMech&gt; &lt;CreditCard&gt; &lt;Number&gt;".$cardNumber."&lt;/Number&gt; &lt;Expires DataType='ExpirationDate' Locale='840'&gt;".$cardExp."&lt;/Expires&gt; &lt;Cvv2Val&gt;".$cvdValue."&lt;/Cvv2Val&gt; &lt;Cvv2Indicator&gt;".$cvdIndicator."&lt;/Cvv2Indicator&gt; &lt;IssueNum&gt;".$issueNumber."&lt;/IssueNum&gt; &lt;/CreditCard&gt; &lt;/PaymentMech&gt; &lt;/Consumer&gt; &lt;Transaction&gt; &lt;Type&gt;Auth&lt;/Type&gt; &lt;CurrentTotals&gt; &lt;Totals&gt; &lt;Total DataType='Money' Currency='826'&gt;".$amount."&lt;/Total&gt; &lt;/Totals&gt; &lt;/CurrentTotals&gt; &lt;/Transaction&gt; &lt;/OrderFormDoc&gt; &lt;/EngineDoc&gt; &lt;/EngineDocList&gt;"; ?&gt; &lt;?php //$url = "https://www.uat.apixml.netq.hsbc.com"; $url = "https://www.secure-epayments.apixml.hsbc.com/"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$testRead); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); $result_tmp = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); /////////////////////////////////////// // use XML Parser result $xml_parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser,XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING,0); xml_parser_set_option($xml_parser,XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE,1); xml_parse_into_struct($xml_parser, $result_tmp, $vals, $index); xml_parser_free($xml_parser); //print_r($vals); // print all the arrays. //print_r($vals[29]); // print only the selected array. $val1 = $vals[21]; // ProcReturnMsg $paymentResult = $val1[value]; $result_tmp = ""; $k=0; $findthis = false; $findthis2 = false; foreach ($vals as $val) { $result_tmp.= $k."{"; foreach($val as $d =&gt; $a) { $result_tmp.="[".$d."]".$a; if($d=="tag" &amp;&amp; $a=="TransactionStatus"){ $findthis = true; } if($d=="value" &amp;&amp; $findthis){ $tResult = $a; $findthis = false; } if($d=="tag" &amp;&amp; $a=="Text"){ $findthis2 = true; } if($d=="value" &amp;&amp; $findthis2){ $tResult2 = $a; $findthis2 = false; } } $result_tmp.= "}"; $k++; } echo $tResult2.$tResult; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here is an example of one of the sites not working <a href="https://www.glowsticks.net/hsbc_payment_way_test.php" rel="nofollow">gs.net</a> The output is: payment processing... The HTTP method received is not valid. Only POST is accepted.</p> <p>Whereas when I upload this exact same file to some of my other web hosts such as: <a href="https://www.happyglowlucky.co.uk/hsbc_payment_way_test.php" rel="nofollow">HGL working example</a> The output here is payment processing... Unable to determine card type. ('length' is '15')E This sounds like an error message, but basically that error is not important, so the latter is what we are trying to achieve in the first link.</p> <p>I have even uploaded this file to some really basic hosting accounts of mine, sometimes it will work sometimes it won't, so I'm guessing it's something to do with what the hosting company are allowing or have switched On/Off.</p> <p>Any ideas please?</p> <p>Thank you</p>

    1. COis that actual, produciton code? Ie, you're pasting POST vars straight into the XML as plain text? Injection flaws ripe for the hacking.

    2. COnot quite sure what you mean, but this is a test file, the info at the top such as card number etc I take you mean, this is not included on the real file.

    3. COAre you able to take the evaluated contents of the `$testRead` variable and send it as a POST request to `$url` using some other method, such as command-line curl, and receive a successful response? Maybe you're running into a quoting issue with PHP which causes weird responses from the API.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
