  1. Thanks, Alex, for the nice words on the book and for the suggestion. It is appreciated. I am still planning on writing a tutorial for using PayPal WebSite Payments Pro, but I have to finish the book I'm currently working on first, so it'll be at least a couple/few weeks. Jonathon: you're right on the money.

     

    Certainly there's a comparable alternative to Authorize.net to use in the UK, no?

     

     

    Hello Larry,

    I was just wondering if you the tutorial for PayPal Website Payments Pro was still on the agenda?

     

    Thanks.

  2. I can certainly try, but mostly it'll be me looking through the PayPal documentation to find you the answers.

     

     

    Hello,

    I went as far to purchase:Paypal APIs Up and Running by Michael Balderas. The book mentions an Express Payment Integration located at: https://www.paypal-labs.com/integrationwizard/epaypal/main.php

     

    I have attempted the integration many times and no luck..... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks in advance!

  3. Hello Larry,

     

    I'm not exactly sure what you're asking about here: using Authorize.net for the first example or PayPal's Website Payment Pro for the second. But in either case, it shouldn't be that hard as the principles are largely the same (the latter change is more directly comparable).

     

    Greetings,

    Sorry for not being very clear with my question. However, you did answer what I intended on asking. Thanks! For some reason, I am having a hard time integrating Website Payments Pro in the coffee example. I was able to fully utilize the authorize.net example and everything worked like a charm! Would you be able to provide any assistance with integrating Express Checkout?

  4. Greetings,

    I noticed Chapter 6 (pg138) mentioned how authorize.net is comparable to using PayPal's Website Payment Pro Solution. How simple would this process be if all the instructions in Chapter 10 are followed with authorize.net?

    I definitely agree with abigail that there is a vast amount of information out there and much of what I found seemed to be designed for advanced programmers. I created the testing environment and downloaded the PP.PHP.NVP file which contains sample code for name-value pairs.

     

    Thanks!

  5. Hello All,

    I recently found this article in the support forums for my Web Hosting Provider:

     

     

    Connect to Your MySQL Database using DreamHost's PhpMyAdmin at your own domain

     

    Once your own database's hostname is in the DNS system, you can also access your database via PhpMyAdmin by going to that database's hostname on the web. For example, if your MySQL hostname is mysql.yourdomain.tld, point your browser to http://mysql.yourdomain.tld. You will then be prompted for the MySQL username and password. Note however that this method IS NOT SECURE! Your database username and password will be sent in clear text making them very easy to sniff. You should really use the previous method.

     

    I was unaware of this posting when I was administering MYSQL via phpmyadmin. Until I noticed I was locked out of my database......What is the most secure way of administering a database? I have heard PuTty is a good method.

     

    Thanks and have a great day!
