payment module and am having issues with getting any sort of information from the Zen

[OJ_SIMON]

zc v1.5.8

I'm in the middle of making a payment module and am having issues with getting any sort of information from the Zen Cart system from any of my files from within the "/includes/modules/payment/MYPAYMEMPLUGIN/files in this folder.
Is this normal?

You likely have debug logs in your /logs folder that need to be fixed.

nope I'm on top all of them as and when they show and it is currently empty (which is good to hear) and I'm also on top of server logs also regularly check them also dev tools i bacily live in dev tools.

What exactly is happening? I interpreted your original post to mean "Going to admin > modules > payment" gives a white screen.

What are your symptoms?

The only variables (that's everything from plugin defined in database etc... to session's etc..) I can get to use or view are the one's I set within the folder part of the payment module (I've installed and then cloned: this https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2388).
I have tried removing my htaccess file thinking it was maybe that but the same,
I've changed the name of the plugin but still the same,
I'm just know downloaded a fresh copy of ZC v1.5.8 and running a compare using beyond-compare and see if that helps,
would you know what maybe hepping as to me it seems like ZC is seeing this folder as a outsider instead of part of the family lol.

Try removing the clone files and see if that fixes it.

Review https://docs.zen-cart.com/dev/code/m...clone_payment/

I've look at that often on the way of making this plugin, but I will say I've seen this: Note: Be sure the filename you choose does not have an underscore (_) in it. but at the same time see core payment plugin's and a few other one's are using _ within the naming so I have also ?

Nope just the same if I replace the API key from hardcoded to using the stored database stored configuration_key name/value the plugin does not load the form due to invalid key of null but as soon as I put back the key hardcoded it works?

one other thing I could maybe try, what would be the best way to clear all session var's then let ZC make what it needs to a fresh?
would it be just session destroy ?

file compare only showed one difference and that was in my htaccess file in: includes/.htaccess
and this was on line #32 it read > <FilesMatch "(?i).*\.(js|css|html?|jpe?g|gif|webp|png|otf|ico|cur|map|eot|svgz?|ttf|woff2?|p hp|xml|xsl)$">
So i changed it to what the fresh copy of ZC had to this: <FilesMatch "(?i).*\.(js|css|html?|jpe?g|gif|webp|png|otf|ico|cur|map|eot|svgz?|ttf|woff2?|x ml|xsl)$"> "removing the php.
