PHP Fatal Error: undefined function curl_init()

Hello, I'm using ecart 5 (testing on a remote server) I think I have 2 issues going on or are they connected(?); I enter the checkout info and proceed to the confirm page where I see what I am ordering but the billing and the shipping info is blank. Then when I submit the order I get this: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\sites\closeouts.fmfracing.com\WA_eCart\Adv_CO_Scripts\PP_PayPro_PHP.php on line 138. I had them "uncommenting the curl extension" with no luck. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your time, icky

The billing and shipping info should be stored in session variables when posted to the confirm page, it could be another error regarding sessions causing the problem. to troubleshoot, I will need you to add some code to the confirm page:

at line 1:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors','on');

?>

and just before the closing body tag:

<?php

@session_start();

echo("POST:<pre>");

var_dump($_POST);

echo("</pre>");

echo("SESSION:<pre>");

var_dump($_SESSION);

echo("</pre>");

?>

this will write the session contents and form content to the page to help us troubleshoot what is going wrong.


the error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()


is a server issue, if uncommenting the curl extension in the php.ini file did not correct the problem, then the curl extension must not be installed on the server. ultimately, the host will nee to fix this problem, though

Thank you Jason,

Mitch

you're welcome, did you find the cause of the problem? is all set now?

Hi Jason, this is the message I got(attached) but being a newbie it is a bit of a mystery to me? Is it the failure of the email relay that is causing the problems? Mitch

part of the message is saying that the SMTP server cannot relay the email. The rest is showing that the sessions are being set properly.

in the server behaviors list, double click the universal Email server behavior and change the trigger to Current Page Submit so that the email is not trying to send when the confirm page is loaded, see if that corrects the problem with the billing info showing, also try adding the following code at line 1:

<?php @session_start(); ?>

you will need to correct the problem with the smtp server relay permissions.

OK, everything seems to be showing up except for the email problem which I will address with them. Looking at the message does everything seem to be in place? Thanks, Mitch

everything else looks fine, it;s just an issue with the SMTP server. It may be that the SMTP Server requires authentication, or any number of other issues, your host will be able to give you more information on why the SMTP server is not able to relay the email.

Hopefully I'll have some luck on my side! Thanks again Jason!

you're welcome.
