Developing a Payment Module - Sending Data Via xml

[3eternus]

Hi,

SO I've been looking at the creating a payment module as I need to send the data in XML from end point of the shopping cart to the our bank payment gateway in xml format.

I've looked a the other payment modules so far such as cash on delivery and bank transfer but it doesn't really help where I can start with sending the data over XML from the end point.

Does anyone have any start points? Or perhaps some free modules that have already been created?

does anyone have any ideas where to start here? 

Ive been looking at other modules, cod etc but not sure where to start from in order to get the xml sent to the our merchants payment page.

Hi,

 

 

Create a module, attach to a hook.

In your code, use normal functions like cURL.

Is it a webservice that they are exposing?  Did they provide or define a WSDL for you to use? 

 

If yes, then you can use the PHP SOAP extension which will handle creating the XML in the correct format for you.

If no, then you can look into the PHP SimpleXML objects which will deal with creating and parsing XML
