Can you create an SSL connection directly through PHP? I'm trying to integrate a form with a payment processing center, Authorize.net and I'm running into a problem. The documentation for what they call ADC Direct Response requires a secure socket which I wrongfully assumed to mean posting from a secure page to their secure server. It seems that the secure socket must be handled directly from the script and not by the end user submitting a form. Here's what I received from their tech support. "The problem is that you can't send an HTML form POST when using Direct Response. You must write a script that creates an SSL connection directly with our server (port 443) and send the information to us through that connection. I do not know if this is possible through PHP but usually this is done with PERL, CGI, or ColdFusion. If you are not familiar with creating direct SSL connections and would like to send the transaction information in an HTML form POST, then you should use the Relay-Response method instead. Please refer to the Developer's guide for more information: https://secure.authorize.net/docs Thank you for contacting tech support." Any input or direction greatly appreciated.
