Cybersource PHP donation script

[Pewit]

I have recently volunteered (gulp) to become one of the webmasters of the Federation of Gay Games websites at www.gaygaymes.com

One of the issues I am trying to resolve is that the donation page is far too complex and based on using a shopping cart which unnecessary (mainly because my predecessor just modified the sample application from Cybersource/BOA).

I have simplified this into a one page form at
http://www.gaygames.org/federation/secure/orderform.php

However, when you make a donation the payment is rejected and a pop-up appears asking you to login to the secure server.

I'm not that familiar with PHP and commerce systems so can anyone advise me where the problem is?

Thanks in advance.

Paul,

Could you not utilize the Paypal payment gateway to handle the donations rather than a 3rd party application?

It might make things a lot easier for you.

That being said, hopefully one of the tech types on GWW will be able to help a little further than i am able to

Welcome to the community also

at first glance, I can see that your page is not using a secure https connection, which means you should not be taking any credit card information on that page at all. I did not enter any data, but I am betting this is the reason you are getting the popup error too. Chat with your webhost about getting it setup, I am sure they will help.

cheers,

Luke is correct.

Whenever you collect personal information (name, address, credit card numbers, etc.) the information should be collected on a secure web server, which means the data is encrypted for security.

You know you're on a secure web server when you see: https:// in the location bar or a "padlock" in the lower right hand corner of your browser.

The reason you are getting the popup is because you are submitting data from your non-secure server to the payment processor's secure server, and they don't like that!

I'm sure the hosting company will be able to setup https for you.

good luck!
