Hello all!
Today we will be talking about Barclays online payment gateway valled ePDQ.
You can take a look at what they have got to say by clicking here to view Barclays’ site or you could keep reading 🙂
Well, for all you php guys out there, this post if for you!
Barclays ePDQ encrypts your data string of products in your basket and returns a result that is sent with your HTML form on your site.
<?php
$url = 'https://secure2.epdq.co.uk/cgi-bin/CcxBarclaysEpdqEncTool.e';
$params = "clientid=myclientid&password=mypassword&oid=4&chargetype=Auth&total=100&currencycode=826";
$user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$params);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); // this line makes it work under https
$result=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
<form action="https://secure2.epdq.co.uk/cgi-bin/CcxBarclaysEpdq.e" method="POST"><!--?php print "$result"; ?-->
<input name="returnurl" type="hidden" value="http://www.store.co.uk/" /> <input name="merchantdisplayname" type="hidden" value="My Store" /> <input type="submit" value="purchase" />
</form>
As you can see, it all seems quite easy.
You send through your data and it encodes it to look like something like this:
<form action="https://secure2.epdq.co.uk/cgi-bin/CcxBarclaysEpdq.e" method="POST"><input name="epdqdata" type="hidden" value="B5C14CFDF42DE6F1F3EE38CA469E4345927CFD45C2191AEBA3CB93A004679724369A7F64F5B0E991A 79C39EA37A8727C3BE49ADF13556356021E5EBB361089F0" /> <input name="returnurl" type="hidden" value="http://www.store.co.uk/" /> <input name="merchantdisplayname" type="hidden" value="My Store" /> <input type="submit" value="purchase" /></form>
