NY Shipping Rule Not Working

Hi I have created a shipping rule to charge tax in only NY

However when on the checkout page after filling out a NY address it does not work.

My session variable is named svstate; this is on the checkout.php page:

<?php
@session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION["svstate"])) {
$_SESSION["svstate"] = "".((isset($_POST["State"]))?$_POST["State"]:"") ."";
}
?>

Here is the eCart Rule:

//eCart Rule
function WAEC_eCart1_SalesTax() {
$totalTax = 0;
if (true && (($this->GetTaxableTotal() > 0) && ((isset($_SESSION['svstate'])?$_SESSION['svstate']:"") == "NY"))) {
$totalTax += ($this->GetTaxableTotal() * 0.008125);//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalTax, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}
//eCart Rule

I have attached the files in the event you need, please let me know what I have done wrong

Thanks

I tried this solution but it did not work for me so I will await your reply

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.

See private message

in the tax rule, you had been using:
$_SESSION['WASF_CheckoutWizard_Basic_Default']['State']


but in your case the checkout form was using the name "WASF_CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default"

so i updated the session to:
$_SESSION['WASF_CheckoutWizard_NewFromBlank_Default']['State']


for USPS shipping, I added code to the checkout page to write the session contents:
<pre><?php var_dump($_SESSION); ?></pre>


the response from USPS in the session is:
["eCart1_USPS_FullResponse"]=>
string(208) "
80040B1AAuthorization failure. Perhaps username and/or password is incorrect.USPSCOM::DoAuth"

the user ID you entered for USPS Shipping is not being accepted by the USPS server.

Sorry for the late response was at a meeting yesterday afternoon.

I will alert the client to check their USPS credentials.

Once I have them, rather then run the wizard again, can I just copy and paste them somewhere?

The USPS Shipping server behave is on the confirm_cart.php page.

open that page, and open the server behavior panel, then double click the USPS Shipping server behavior to edit it and change the user ID.

I have the information

See Private message

You are still getting an Authorization error for the shipping API...

I believe the current error is due to not being in "production" status at USPS.

Call 800-344-7779 and ask to be moved to production status.
