UPSP invalid Mail Type error

UPSP invalid Mail Type error

I'm a little stuck here, getting this error while trying to get a USPS rate quote:
DomesticRatesV3;clsRateV3.ValidateFirstClassMailType;RateEngineV3.ProcessRequest - Invalid First Class Mail Type.

I called and had my account switched over to the production server, so that part is good now. My code looks correct to me, any ideas?

<?php
//WA eCart UPS Shipping Include
require_once("../WA_eCart/WA_eCart_USPS_PHP.php");
?>
<?php
if ("" == "") {
//WA eCart (Copyright 2007, WebAssist)

$Shipping_SuccessURL = "";
$Shipping_FailureURL = "shipping_failure.php";
$Shipping_Packaging = 0;
$Shipping_PackageArray = array();
$Shipping_PackageIndex = 0;
$Shipping_Counter = 0;
$Shipping_Parameters = array();
$Shipping_Parameters["UserID"] = "603XXXXX1111";
$Shipping_Parameters["USPSServer"] = "http://production.shippingapis.com/shippingapi.dll";
$Shipping_Parameters["CarrierCode"] = "FIRST CLASS";
$Shipping_Parameters["DefaultIntl"] = "none";
$Shipping_Parameters["ShipperZip"] = "90069";
$Shipping_Parameters["ShiptoZip"] = "".$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_postcode'] ."";
$Shipping_Parameters["ShiptoCountry"] = "US";
while (($Shipping_Packaging == 1 && !$ecoCart->EOF()) || ($Shipping_Packaging == 0 && $Shipping_Counter == 0)) {
if (WA_eCart_USPS_IsTrueValue("true")) {
$Shipping_PackageArray[] = array();
$Shipping_PackageIndex = sizeof($Shipping_PackageArray)-1;

$Shipping_PackageArray[$Shipping_PackageIndex]["Quantity"] = "1";

}
$Shipping_Counter++;

The FirstClassMail type is not being sent as a parameter.

In the USPS shipping code, under the:
$Shipping_Parameters["CarrierCode"] = "FIRST CLASS";

Add this line underneath it should fix the issue:
$Shipping_Parameters["FirstClassMailType"] = "PARCEL";

First Class

Has anyone found a solution to this? I too get this error when trying to change my CarrierCode to "First Class" ??

I added the Shipping_Parameters["FirstClassMailType"] = "PARCEL" but it doesn't even recognize that array node.

Are you using eCart 5? This should not be an issue with the latest version of eCart. Post back with some additional details about your setup and versions of software. Along with this also post back with a copy of the confirm page that has the USPS server behavior on it minus any of the sensitive details. I will take a look to see if I can spot an issue.

USPS First Class Mail

Yes i do have the current version of eCart version 5. Here is the snippet of code used from the ecart code bank.

<?php
//WA eCart Include
require_once("../WA_eCart/eCart_PHP.php");
?>
<?php
$eCart->GetContent();
?>
<?php
//WA eCart UPS Shipping Include
require_once("../WA_eCart/WA_eCart_USPS_PHP.php");
?>
<?php if(!session_id()) session_start(); ?>
<?php
if (!$eCart->IsEmpty()) {
//WA eCart (Copyright 2007, WebAssist)
//WA eCart USPS Shipping - USPS
$Shipping_SuccessURL = "../shopping-cart2.php?charity=".$_GET['charity'];
$Shipping_FailureURL = "usps-error.php?charity=".$_GET['charity'];
$Shipping_Packaging = 0;
$Shipping_PackageArray = array();
$Shipping_PackageIndex = 0;
$Shipping_Counter = 0;
$Shipping_Parameters = array();
$Shipping_Parameters["UserID"] = "30##########;
$Shipping_Parameters["USPSServer"] = "http://production.shippingapis.com/shippingapi.dll";
$Shipping_Parameters["CarrierCode"] = 'First Class';
$Shipping_Parameters["FirstClassMailType"] = "PARCEL";
$Shipping_Parameters["DefaultIntl"] = "none";
$Shipping_Parameters["ShipperZip"] = "90025";
$Shipping_Parameters["ShiptoZip"] = $_SESSION['shipping_postal_code'];
$Shipping_Parameters["ShiptoCountry"] = $_SESSION['shipping_country_code'];
while (($Shipping_Packaging == 1 && !$eCart->EOF()) || ($Shipping_Packaging == 0 && $Shipping_Counter == 0)) {
if (WA_eCart_USPS_IsTrueValue("true")) {
$Shipping_PackageArray[] = array();
$Shipping_PackageIndex = sizeof($Shipping_PackageArray)-1;

$Shipping_PackageArray[$Shipping_PackageIndex]["IsPackage"] = "true";
$Shipping_PackageArray[$Shipping_PackageIndex]["Quantity"] = "1";
$Shipping_PackageArray[$Shipping_PackageIndex]["WeightUnits"] = "oz";
$Shipping_PackageArray[$Shipping_PackageIndex]["PackageWeight"] = "".WA_eCart_FormatNumber($eCart->TotalColumn('TotalWeight'), true, 1) ."";
$Shipping_PackageArray[$Shipping_PackageIndex]["PackageType"] = "YOURPACKAGING";
$Shipping_PackageArray[$Shipping_PackageIndex]["PackageSize"] = "REGULAR";
$Shipping_PackageArray[$Shipping_PackageIndex]["PackageMachinable"] = "True";

Is this just the code from the snippet directly or did you generate this code with the checkout wizard or by applying the individual server behavior?

When I choose the First Class mail type the code that eCart produces for me does not have the FirstClassMailType. You should try removing this from your code to see if you get past this error:

php:
$Shipping_Parameters["FirstClassMailType"] = "PARCEL";



If your current version of eCart is producing this code please let me know.

First Class

No i tried Jimmy Wu's solution above. Either way its the same. That array node doesn't even get recognized. It doesn't matter if i set that Array node var. It is just extra data now in the array. The error cleary states

"Error Message DomesticRatesV3;clsRateV3.ValidateFirstClassMailType;RateEngineV3.ProcessRequest - Invalid First Class Mail Type."

When i read this, it seems like there is either an attribute or another string we need to pass for shipping carrier if it is First Class Mail. I have written a USPS API Class, using SOAP. I dont get this error. A customer of ours wants to switch to First Class carrier, and we had this code in place because we used eCart. It would be nice to figure out what is wrong here, or else i can just write the live shipping quote myself.

Thanks in advance.
