#22193 [Bgs->Csd]: PHP no longer supports Cybercash?!?

ID: 22193 Updated by: gschlossnagle@php.net Reported By: kirk@strauser.com -Status: Bogus +Status: Closed Bug Type: *E-commerce functions Operating System: FreeBSD 4.7 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Moved cybercash into PECL. You SHOULD be able to just do a pear install cybercash, but seeing as I dont have the cybercash libraries that need to be linked against, your mileage may vary. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 22:14:34] kirk@strauser.com From http://www.verisign.com/support/cyberCash/integration.html (selected excerpts): ------------------------------ 1. Will my service be interrupted? * No, we will continue to operate the CyberCash gateway at its high level of reliability and uptime. 3. Do I need to convert over to VeriSign's gateway? * No, we will continue to operate the CyberCash gateway for the foreseeable future. 8. I looked at VeriSign before going with CyberCash and didn't care for their product offering. Should I be looking at other providers now? * We are maintaining the service for existing CyberCash customers, so there is no reason for you to think about looking at other payment gateways. ------------------------------ I also submit as evidence the fact that the server's I'm dealing with have cleared several thousand transactions via PHP and Cybercash already this month. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 21:41:05] nicos@php.net Interesting, can you point any URI saying that their services are still up and maintained? We are open-minded ! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 21:37:42] kirk@strauser.com Thanks for the information. I still believe that it was deprecated unfairly (it still interfaces with an operating, maintained service), but that's your call. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 21:25:45] sniper@php.net It will not come back, it's deprecated. If you _really_ need it, take it from 4.2.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 21:25:27] nicos@php.net Yes it's not in PEAR/PECL. It has been removed because we thought nobody uses it. Since we will probably not put it back you are free to copy ext/cybercash from php-4.2.3 into php-4.3.0 and to cd php-4.3.0 ; ./buildconf so you will have it back in your configure line. (Note that Jani mentioned PEAR because he thought we were talking about cybermut and not cybercash). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
