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

ID: 22193 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: kirk@strauser.com Status: Closed Bug Type: *E-commerce functions Operating System: FreeBSD 4.7 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: The documentation at php.net/cybercash has been updated to reflect this change. The docs have linked to the above quoted faq for quite some time. The new documentation will show up online within the coming week(s). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-13 10:30:22] kirk@strauser.com Thanks! That solves the problem handily. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-12 22:55:10] gschlossnagle@php.net 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
