Submitting data to Trusted Shops

[whitsolltd]

Hi All

I'm hoping you can help with a little problem I'm having.

We are integrating trusted shops buyer protection into our zen cart website and need to submit some data by clicking a button on the checkout confirmation page.

As advised, I'm doing this with a form similar to the following (Not quite complete, but OK for testing at the moment):

<form action="protection.php" method="post" />

<p>
<input type="hidden" name="_charset_" value="utf-8" />
</p>

<p>
<input type="hidden" name="shop_id" value="" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" name="email" value=""/>
</p>

<p>
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value=""/>
</p>

<p>
<input type="hidden" name="curr" value=""/>
</p>


<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>

So, shop ID and charset are static values that I can just enter, but the other fields require live data from the order just placed to be entered.

Could anyone advised what exactly needs to be entered in value to automatically get:

Customer email address
Order amount (inc shipping)
Currency

This is on the order confirmation page, just in case that make a difference.

Many thanks in advance

Any help on this much appreciated...

Add this
print_r($_SESSION); exit ;

At the start of the order confirmation page.

This will display a list of all the data available in the $_SESSION variable. Identify the elements of interest (assuming they exist), and use this info to extract the elements needed into another variable, then use this variable to populate the data values.
something like:

$Customer_email_address = $_SESSION['Customer_Email'] ; // This is what you identified as the needed field from the 'print_r()';

<input type="hidden" name="email" value="$Customer_email_address"/> ;

Cheers

Thanks

The output looks like this:

Array ( [securityToken] => XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [customers_host_address] => XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [cartID] => [cart] => shoppingCart Object ( [contents] => Array ( ) [total] => 0 [weight] => 0 [cartID] => [content_type] => [free_shipping_item] => 0 [free_shipping_weight] => 0 [free_shipping_price] => 0 ) [navigation] => navigationHistory Object ( [path] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [page] => index [mode] => SSL [get] => Array ( [type] => ec [token] => XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [PayerID] => XXXXXXXXXXXXX) [post] => Array ( ) ) [1] => Array ( [page] => checkout_process [mode] => SSL [get] => [post] => Array ( ) ) [2] => Array ( [page] => checkout_success [mode] => SSL [get] => [post] => Array ( ) ) ) [snapshot] => Array ( ) ) [language] => english [languages_id] => 1 [languages_code] => en [check_valid] => true [currency] => GBP [today_is] => 2013-03-10 [updateExpirations] => 1 [session_counter] => 1 [customers_ip_address] => XX.XXX.XX.XX [new_products_id_in_cart] => 1369 [messageToStack] => [valid_to_checkout] => 1 [cart_errors] => [customer_id] => 2 [customer_default_address_id] => 2 [customers_authorization] => 0 [customer_first_name] => XXXXXX [customer_last_name] => XXXXX [customer_country_id] => 222 [customer_zone_id] => 0 [shipping_tax_amount] => 0.658 [shipping_tax_description] => UK VAT Rate )

This gives me the currency, but no email address or order total. I'm guessing that this is because it's cleared by the time we get to the checkout success page.

Any way to make this display? If not, moving the form to the previous stag of checkout may help, but I would prefer it be on the success page.

Surprised there is no email address though. Although I would be happy to have he customer enter this themselves if needs be. But I do need the total order value.

Thanks again.

The output looks like this:

Yeah, its not pretty, but then again, it wasn't supposed to be :)

Or, they aren't being stored in the $_SESSION variable after all. (I was just taking a punt).

Any way to make this display?

Try adding the following in place of the prinr_r($_SESSION).

var_dump(get_defined_vars());

This will provide a dump of all the other variables defined/available on the page. you could still get lucky.

If not, moving the form to the previous stag of checkout may help, but I would prefer it be on the success page.

Before doing this, you'll first need to confirm the data you require is available on the previous page. If it is, what you could then do is save the data from this page into a $_SESSION variable of your own, and read it back from the page where you do require it.
Probably not the *best* way to do this, and certainly not the only way, but nonetheless, it is simple and effective.
If you do elect to use this method you *must* 'sanitise' the values before using them. The reason being is that it *may* be possible for a hacker to create a session variable with the same name, but containing nefarious contents, with devastating effects. The chances of them doing so a very remote, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for this. Your help is most appreciated.

I'll give these a try tomorrow and report back

Hi

This looks much better. Inserting var_dump(get_defined_vars()); gave reams and reams of data, including everything I need, as follows:

["customers_email_address"]=> string(20) "[email protected]"

["order_total"]=> string(4) "6.94"

["currency"]=> string(3) "GBP"

So the next stage is just getting this data into the form.

Your instruction above was:

$Customer_email_address = $_SESSION['Customer_Email'] ; // This is what you identified as the needed field from the 'print_r()';

<input type="hidden" name="email" value="$Customer_email_address"/> ;

I assume this doesn't apply anymore (It doesn't seem to get the result anyway)

Can you suggest what needs to be entered into Value to get this last bit going?

Thanks

["customers_email_address"]=> string(20) "[email protected]"

$Customer_email_address = $_SESSION['Customer_Email'] ; 

<input type="hidden" name="email" value="$Customer_email_address"/> ;

Not sure where you got this but you might try removing the caps unless you are certain that they should be there

You are starting to scare me. I fear I may be leading you into places you shouldn't be going.

No, it won't apply anymore.

The "$Customer_email_address" needs to be populated with that variable that you found/discovered with the dump_vars() command.

Using the data you have provided, the code would be:

$Customer_email_address = ["customers_email_address"] ;

BUT, I can tell you right now, all that'll do is produce a syntax error. The reason being is that ["customers_email_address"] is an *array* variable but you've neglected to include the NAME of the array.. Valid code would look like:

$Customer_email_address = $_GLOBAL["customers_email_address"] ;
or
$Customer_email_address = $customer["customers_email_address"] ;
or
$Customer_email_address = $some_other_name["customers_email_address"] ;

ps. I don't wish to offend you, but the reason you didn't get a response to your original post is/was probably because 1) It isn't a ZenCart issue, and 2). We are NOT here to teach you the basics of programming. If I thought my 'hint' to get you going (after you bumped the thread) was going to lead into a beginners step by step tutorial I would simply have refered you to http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp

pss: No apologies needed. No apologies given.
