[sidealice]

following is my code.. but that didn't take effect? i mean that didn't take me to the paypal's payment page and return. could you help me?

 

$url = "http://www.xxx.com/billing/includes/api.php";

$username = ""; # Admin username goes here

$password = " xxx"; # Admin password goes here

 

 

 

$postfields["action"] = "addorder";

$postfields["clientid"] = $results["clientid"];

$postfields["pid"] = "1";

$postfields["billingcycle"] = "daily";

$postfields["regperiod"] = "1";

$postfields["paymentmethod"] = "paypal";

 

 

 

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

 

$data = explode(";",$data);

foreach ($data AS $temp) {

$temp = explode("=",$temp);

$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];

}

 

if ($results["result"]=="success") {

echo "<br />Order ID:".$results["orderid"]." has been created!";

echo "<br />Invoice ID:".$results["invoiceid"]." has been created!";

 

 

} else {

echo "<br />The following error occured: ".$results["message"];

}

I've got to say this seems to be a topic that really isnt covered. I've searched and searched and Just can't seem to find anything on this.

 

Can someone advise/suggest and ideas?

 

I mean, do we have to deal with the paypal API as well or does the WHMCS API still deal with paypal?

The API is quite clear on how to Add an Invoice payment, Capture a credit card payment, Add an order, etc but there's really not any useful information on how paypal works with the API and generated orders/invoices....
