Okay, this is an update to my post of June 27. At that time, I was still getting the credit card information along with customer notes in my Admin email notification. And I was concerned that if I didnБ─≥t insert the credit card information into order details in my database orders table, our payment gateway (authorize.net) wouldnБ─≥t get the credit card information it needed to process credit card payments.
I took another look at our payment/cc_authorizenet.php file and noted that it was collecting credit card information from $usersinfo, which means it comes from my database customers table. Hence, the following database query in payment/payment_cc.php that I commented out needed to be restored. So I did that.
if ($store_cc)
db_query("update $sql_tbl[customers] set card_type='$card_type',
card_number='".text_crypt($card_number)."', card_expire='$card_expire' where login='$login' and
usertype='$login_type'");
WeБ─≥ll have to keep credit card information in our database even though we prefer not to. The good news is that the credit card number is encrypted.
Now feeling somewhat comfortable that I didnБ─≥t need to include credit card information in order details, I modified the code that Boomer gave me for payment/payment_cc.php so that it only captures customer notes, no credit card information. Thus, my Admin email notification now only includes customer notes, no credit card information. Exactly what we wanted. HereБ─≥s my mod:
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$val)
if ($key!="payment_method" && $key!=$XCART_SESSION_NAME and $val!="")
if ($key=="Customer_Notes") $order_details.="$val\n";
else $order_details. = "";
As I said earlier, IБ─≥m not a php coder so IБ─≥m sure there is a more appropriate way to code this. All I can do is make minor revisions to existing code, not write code. But this mod works, at least in test mode.
Now IБ─≥ll have to verify that it works with real customer credit card orders.
I hope that my solution for getting customer notes to work with credit card payments will be helpful to some of you who have been trying to do the same thing. If you see any problems with my solution, or have a better solution, please post it.
