Problem with array on ot_tax ? and other problems

[donnerkul]

Is use a php 5 version and array handling seems to be different to version 4. I already had to enter type conversion for the array_merge function, but now on returning from paypal express checkout I get this error:

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in C:\htdocs\http://www.drehmahl.eu\shop\includes...tal\ot_tax.php on line 38

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in C:\htdocs\http://www.drehmahl.eu\shop\includes...tal\ot_tax.php on line 39

The problem occures in the process-function:

 function process() {
      global $order, $currencies;

      reset($order->info['tax_groups']);
      while (list($key, $value) = each($order->info['tax_groups'])) {
        if ($value > 0 or STORE_TAX_DISPLAY_STATUS == 1) {
          $this->output[] = array('title' => $key . ':',
                                  'text' => $currencies->format($value, true, $order->info['currency'], $order->info['currency_value']),
                                  'value' => $value);
        }
      }
    }

Any help is very welcome.

Take a look here:

They're discussing the issue. Seems like a clean install could help. I'm in the same boat.

You might also grab the update I posted here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...246#post309246
and see if using it provides any relief to the problems you're reporting.

Feedback would be welcome -- with some more testing feedback, we'll be publishing a new zip with this included.

Thanks, I used the file and I did not have the error with the ot_tax.php file any longer.

BUT

as described before there is still a change in behavior of the array_merge function in php 5 (see http://be.php.net/array_merge) so I used the follwoing code in line 1515 of paypalwwp.php:

    // debug
    $this->zcLog('ec_step1 - 2 -submit', print_r(array_merge((array)$return_url, (array)$cancel_url, (array)$options), true));

as otherwise I got an error that item #1 and #2 are no arrays.

By the way. There is no error message any longer, but express checkout still does not work. I think it is because I do have a German and a Belgium paypal account, but no North American one. Any time I return form Paypal I enter the order process in step 1 (or get to split login if not logged in) and on step 2 (payment) I have to enter a payment option of my other two paments (paypal ipn and eurotransfer), but no express checkout....

But, thanks anyway.

Best regards

Dieter,
Thanks for the feedback on the array_merge() issue vs PHP 5. It's been corrected for the next release.

As to your other problem ... when you return from PayPal and are sent back to a login page, can you please look at your PayPal debug logs and post the data to/from PayPal for the "GetExpressCheckoutDetails" transaction? (this initiates upon return from PayPal, and plays a part in determining what page you get sent to).

You can turn on debug logging in the module's settings in Zen Cart admin.

Hi,

thanks for your help. I turned debug on and as I aspected, it is only a regional problem. Here is the text:

Message: We are sorry for the inconvenience; however, at the present time we
are unable to use PayPal to process orders from the geographic region you
selected as your PayPal address. Please continue using normal checkout and
select from the available payment methods to complete your order.

If you still need more, let me know.

Dieter

That message appears if you have configured your PayPal module to be restricted to a certain zone, but the address you selected for shipping while on the PayPal site doesn't fit within the zone restrictions you've imposed within Zen Cart.

Try editing your PayPal Express Checkout module in Zen Cart Admin and change:
Payment Zone
to:
--none--

Then try another express checkout transaction.
