Getting VerifyStatus API working in Sandbox

March 25, 2011 4:47 pm ,

There are a few caviots to getting the API working.
I hope this saves someone a few hours/ days.

  • CallerServices.php has a small bug
  • Only Sandbox email accounts work in the sandbox. Thanks for confiming @ppalavilli
  • ALL Sandbox accounts have the First Name: Test Thanks @ppalavilli
  • ALL Sandbox accounts have the Last Name: User Thanks @ppalavilli

If you get a

PHP Warning: Missing argument 3 for CallerServices::callWebService()

On line 101 of CallerServices.php you have:

function callWebService($request,$serviceName,$simpleXML)

It should read: //(most of the calls that use callWebService are parent::callWebService( $request,$serviceName ) anyways.

function callWebService($request,$serviceName,$simpleXML=NULL)
{
$response = null;
try {
    $endpoint=API_BASE_ENDPOINT.$serviceName;
    $response = call($request, $endpoint, $this->sandBoxEmailAddress,$simpleXML);
}
catch(Exception $ex) {
throw new FatalException('Error occurred in call method');
}
   return $response;
}

Here is the code I used. Replace {email} with one of your sandbox email addresses.

public function verify_email($params){
$VstatusRequest = new GetVerifiedStatusRequest();
 
$VstatusRequest->emailAddress = '{email}';
$VstatusRequest->matchCriteria = 'NAME';
$VstatusRequest->firstName = 'Test';
$VstatusRequest->lastName = 'User';
 
$rEnvelope = new RequestEnvelope();
$rEnvelope->errorLanguage = "en_US";
$VstatusRequest->requestEnvelope = $rEnvelope ;
 
$aa = new AdaptiveAccounts();
$response = $aa->GetVerifiedStatus($VstatusRequest);
 
echo json_encode($response);
  }

The JSON encoded object looks like such:

{"responseEnvelope":{
    "timestamp":"2011-03-25T15:37:32.44307:00",
    "ack":"Success",
    "correlationId":"42bce847aebc9",
    "build":"1772158"
},
"accountStatus":"VERIFIED"
}

Japan: Pay it Forward

March 16, 2011 10:54 am ,

I just sent this message to a friend in Japan. My hope is that others will do the same.

I was inspired by a few articles I had read about in the past about pastors giving money to the congregations members to do good in a community. I don’t know how my friend Jon will make use of the money but I trust he will slightly know better than I how to use it.

I figure that this $100 will work in different ways than the other money that I have sent to the relief effort via the Red Cross.

If I get a note back of how the money was used, I will update this post. Please let me know if you choose to do the same. #japan #payitforward

Jon, I am sending $100.00 to you in Japan, if you need the cash please use it. If you know of a way to leverage the money please do that. If you think someone else could make better use, pay it forward. Write back to tell me how you use it.

Cheers,
Justin

Paypal X Adaptive Pay FundingConstraint for PHP

March 7, 2011 2:04 pm ,

The following code is an example of adding the FundingConstraint objects for a payRequest with Paypals new Adaptive Payments. I hope this helps.

$payRequest->fundingConstraint = new FundingConstraint();

//$payRequest
//    ->fundingConstraint
//    ->allowedFundingType
//    ->fundingTypeInfo
//    ->fundingType = "BALANCE";

$payRequest
    ->fundingConstraint
    ->allowedFundingType
    ->fundingTypeInfo
    ->fundingType = "ECHECK";
