Grab total amount from checkout_confirmation.php to be visible to the next page

[renrom]

Dear all,

I have a bit of a problem, basically i need to get the total amount from checkout_confirmation.php to a credit card page supplied from Payment Gateway company. The following is the code which dictates the amount:

//build a payment for 11.50 with english language and EURO as currency
//and retrieve the hash for the post to apco
$hash = $payment->getXML(1150, rand(1, 100000), 'EURO', 'en');

Which payment processor are you using? Most already have one created for osc/osCMax.

Basically this company doesn't have a payment module for oscommerce which i found very unprofessional. They've just sent me a 4 php files to connect it with their payment server and than back to the store.

Repeated.....

Which payment processor are you using?

If they themselves don't have one - then like I said -Most already have HAVE one created ......
but we need to know who....

If no one heard of them and no one created the proper module - then they are very local or very small or NOT WELL used for some reason. ( Lack of customer service I would suspect ).

Forgot to mention. They may be a reseller of some other service... Thus they may LACK the intelligent to create any PHP code other that what was supplied though there reseller agreement. With these raw PHP files they could hide this fact, but in reality the code is the same as another payment modules with a tweak or two.

The company is Apco Limited www.apco.com.mt

This seams like a very VERY SMALL operation that are looking for PROGRAMMERS - which maybe why they have no support except for local specialized developed programs and they have NO support of ANY of the well known international large market shopping carts. They are located on a small ISLAND that covers about the same area as the the city I live in - several of our lakes near by would cover the island several times.

Unless you have no choice - I would look at moving suppliers. Or taking a similar module - like PayPal or Authoiznet or SECpay etc... and modify it with the code they supply. Regardless, your going to have to dive into PHP....if you have to use Apco.

All the default payment modules show the variable used to send and receive for what you need.


Good Luck!
