[cobalt-users] PayFlowPro PHP Functions

["Troy Arnold" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone in the help in getting the Verisign PayFlowPro package
functioning. I seem to have run into a snag though, getting direct calls to
the PFPro app from PHP.

We located an extension for PHP on http://www.php.net which has everything
we need. Unfortunately it appears that we must recompile PHP to get this
functionality. Since I have been installing the PHP PKG's from
http://pkgmaster.com I am not sure of the methodology required to get this
functional.

At http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pfpro.php the PFPro extension is listed
as being included with PHP. There it states that these functions are only
available if PHP has been compiled with the --with-pfpro[=DIR] option. On
the bottom of this page there is a how-to for reinstalling PHP and
PayFlowPro. Not sure if it is applicable on a Cobalt and am obviously
hesitant to recompile PHP in this environment.

My questions are as follows...
Can I simply add this option into the php.ini or some other file?
Do I have to actually recompile PHP (or the newest version)?
If so, what are the caveats of installing PHP manually?
Anyone else using this feature/functionality successfully and have any
feedback?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
