Does anyone have any experience with authorize.net?

The code is spread across 3 files config.php, authorize_net_request.php, and test_authorize_net.php and I have posted these files to pastebin because I didn't know if I could post the code here. Could someone give these files a look over and see what I've done wrong? The pastebin URL is: http://pastebin.com/5xacghDR

Last time I encountered an error like this with an e-gateway, the problem was that, despite what I thought, the account was actually inactive. It wasn't authorize.net, but I'm betting that your gateway ID and password are fine, just like mine were. I had to call them to find out the account was, for some reason, deemed "inactive".

Thank you Paul. I'm going to check into that. I was thinking I typed something wrong. I compared my pages of code to the code in the book and couldn't find anything, so I started wondering if the book was even correct. Another thing I find odd that makes me wonder if I did this correctly is when I compare the error I get with my test transaction to the successful test transaction in the book, I notice it says "auth_only" on the left side and "prior_auth_capture" on the right side but, both of mine says "auth_capture" I found the example I'm working on at google books here's the link: http://books.google.com/books?id=J5AIx8AFnAIC&printsec=frontcover&dq=beginning+php+and+mysql+e- commerce+from+novice+to+professional+second+edition&cd=1#v=onepage&q=beginning%20php%20and%20mysql%20e- commerce%20from%20novice%20to%20professional%20second%20edition&f=false It is on page 646

Could it be that you have the config not set to test mode but you are connecting via the test URL? Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP
