[FX.php List] Returning to cookie-less session from external server

[Steve Winter]

Hi Jonathan,

That will depend largely on the credit card payment processor. For example
with WorldPay, whom I have used on a number of projects, and who provide an
excellent service, it's possible to pass parameters to them, which are then
returned in the 'callback' page (mypage.php in your example below).

In the last solution I developed what I did was to pass the FMP recID as a
parameter into, and received back from WorldPay.

Random thought as an alternative, if that's not a solution, do you have to
provide some sort of unique 'cart id' to the payment server...? and is this
information still available to you after processing. If so, what you could
do is to create a separate FMP table, which contains the cart ID and the
current PHP session ID. Just before you hand the client off to the payment
server, create a new record in that table. When they return from the payment
server, sue the cart ID to relocate the session ID...??

Cheers
Steve

Hi Folks,

How to do successfully return from a third party server (credit card 
payment) when using SID for a no cookies browser? Session is started 
locally, then off to cc payment and then back.

I do have the ability specify the returning page in the third party 
set up.  It currently just has "mypage.php".   I'm not sure whether I 
should try to add the SID.  And even if I could, I couldn't add if 
/else.

Or, can you simply restart the session with SID when arriving at the 
return page?

Any suggestions?

J
