VII. CCVS API Functions

Introduction

   These functions interface the CCVS API, allowing you to work directly
   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.

     Note: 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!

     This extension has been removed form PHP and is no longer available
     as of PHP 4.3.0. If you want to use credit card processing features
     you can use MCVE instead.

Installation

   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=[DIR], where DIR is the path
   to your CCVS installation. Please note that CCVS support requires that
   DIR/lib and DIR/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.)
