CCVS These functions interface the CCVS API, allowing you to directly work with CCVS from your PHP scripts. CCVS is RedHat's solution to the "middle-man" in credit card processing. It lets you directly address the credit card clearing houses via your *nix box and a modem. Using the CCVS module for PHP, you can process credit cards directly through CCVS via your PHP Scripts. The following references will outline the process. To enable CCVS Support in PHP, first verify your CCVS installation directory. You will then need to configure PHP with the --with-ccvs option. If you use this option without specifying the path to your CCVS installation, PHP Will attempt to look in the default CCVS Install location (/usr/local/ccvs). If CCVS is in a non-standard location, run configure with: --with-ccvs=$ccvs_path, where $ccvs_path is the path to your CCVS installation. Please note that CCVS support requires that $ccvs_path/lib and $ccvs_path/include exist, and include cv_api.h under the include directory and libccvs.a under the lib directory. Additionally, a ccvsd process will need to be running for the configurations you intend to use in your PHP scripts. You will also need to make sure the PHP Processes are running under the same user as your CCVS was installed as (e.g. if you installed CCVS as user 'ccvs', your PHP processes must run as 'ccvs' as well.) Additional information about CCVS can be found at &url.redhat.ccvs;. This documentation section is being worked on. Until then, RedHat maintains slightly outdated but still useful documentation at &url.redhat.support;. Update: CCVS has been discontinued by Red Hat and there are no plans to issue further keys or support contracts. Those looking for a replacement can consider MCVE by Main Street Softworks as a potential replacement. It is similar in design and has documented PHP support! ccvs_init Initialize CCVS for use stringccvs_init stringname &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_done Terminate CCVS engine and do cleanup work stringccvs_done stringsess &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_new Create a new, blank transaction stringccvs_new stringsession stringinvoice &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_add Add data to a transaction stringccvs_add stringsession stringinvoice stringargtype stringargval &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_delete Delete a transaction stringccvs_delete stringsession stringinvoice &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_auth Perform credit authorization test on a transaction stringccvs_auth stringsession stringinvoice &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_return Transfer funds from the merchant to the credit card holder stringccvs_return stringsession stringinvoice &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_reverse Perform a full reversal on an already-processed authorization stringccvs_reverse stringsession stringinvoice &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_sale Transfer funds from the credit card holder to the merchant stringccvs_sale stringsession stringinvoice &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_void Perform a full reversal on a completed transaction stringccvs_void stringsession stringinvoice &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_status Check the status of an invoice stringccvs_status stringsession stringinvoice &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_count Find out how many transactions of a given type are stored in the system intccvs_count stringsession stringtype &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_lookup Look up an item of a particular type in the database # stringccvs_lookup stringsession stringinvoice intinum &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_report Return the status of the background communication process stringccvs_report stringsession stringtype &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_command Performs a command which is peculiar to a single protocol, and thus is not available in the general CCVS API stringccvs_command stringsession stringtype stringargval &warn.undocumented.func; ccvs_textvalue Get text return value for previous function call stringccvs_textvalue stringsession &warn.undocumented.func;
