PHP Sample Code for the Authorize.Net SDK

This repository contains working code samples which demonstrate PHP integration with the Authorize.Net PHP SDK.

The samples are organized into categories and common usage examples, just like our API Reference Guide. Our API Reference Guide is an interactive reference for the Authorize.Net API. It explains the request and response parameters for each API method and has embedded code windows to allow you to send actual requests right within the API Reference Guide.

Using the Sample Code

The samples are all completely independent and self-contained. You can analyze them to get an understanding of how a particular method works, or you can use the snippets as a starting point for your own project.

You can also run each sample directly from the command line.

Running the Samples From the Command Line

Clone this repository:

    $ git clone https://github.com/AuthorizeNet/sample-code-php.git

Run composer with the "update" option in the root directory of the repository.

    $ composer update

Run the individual samples by name. For example:

    $ php PaymentTransactions/[CodeSampleName]

e.g.

    $ php PaymentTransactions/authorize-credit-card.php

Installation Notes

Note: If during "composer update", you get the error "composer failed to open stream invalid argument", go to your php.ini file (present where you have installed PHP), and uncomment the following lines:

extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_curl.dll

On Windows systems, you also have to uncomment:

extension_dir = "ext"

Then run composer update again. You might have to restart your machine before the changes take effect.

What if I'm not using Composer?

We provide a custom SPL autoloader. Just download the SDK and point to its autoload.php file:

require 'path/to/anet_php_sdk/autoload.php';
