Re: $20 For Coding Help

[gryphon]

Greetings copland,

Its been a very long time since I've had to do anything with PHP, and I think I had a wee bit too much wine tonight with dinner; however, here's my first (untested) pass:

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua  = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $page = $ua->get(
    'https://www.paytox.com/?cmd=retrieve_trans' .
    '&user_id=<USERID>&xipn=<XPIN>&xhash=<XHASH>&trans_id=<TRANSID>'
);

die "HTTP resquest not successful; $!" unless ($page->is_success);
my $trans = split(',', (split("\n", $page->content)[-1]);

If this works, keep your $20. I don't post here for money. (I do it for the XP... Just kidding.)

I didn't know the links were pirated books, I was just typing stuff into Google for perl routines, and those links came up. Thanks for your help gryphon, I'll donate your $20 to perlmonks if it works. I'm going to check it out now!

Heres a better suggestion for your $20- Perl & LWP copies from $17.43.

I've just tried it, and I'm getting 500 internal server errors. This is the original perl code I was using (the variables have been changed to *'s for security reasons):-

#!/usr/bin/perl

use LWP;



&ReadParse;

$timetoget = time;
&GetDate;

&AssignVariables;

$paytox = &DoGet($urltopost);

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

if ($paytox ne "") {
    print "AUTHORISED PAYMENT<br><br>";

    print "Response recieved...<br><br>$paytox";

} else {
    print "DECLINED PAYMENT<br><br>";

    print "No response...";

}

exit;

sub ReadParse { 
    local (*in) = @_ if @_; 
    local ($i, $key, $val);
    if ( $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "GET" ) {
        $in = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
    } elsif ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST") {
        read(STDIN,$in,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
    } else { 
        $in = ( grep( !/^-/, @ARGV )) [0];
        $in =~ s/\\&/&/g; 
    }
     @in = split(/&/,$in);
    foreach $i (0 .. $#in) { 
        $in[$i] =~ s/\+/ /g; 
        ($key, $val) = split(/=/,$in[$i],2); 
        $key =~ s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge; 
        $val =~ s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge; 
        $in{$key} .= "\0" if (defined($in{$key})); 
        $in{$key} .= $val;
    } 
    return length($in);
}

sub AssignVariables {


    $userid = "***";
    $xpin = "****";
    $xhash = "*****";
    $transid = $in{'trans_id'};

    $urltopost = "https://www.paytox.com/?cmd=retrieve_trans&user_id=$
