sample.php question

I'm new to Authorize.net.  I've looked at the two AIM examples I could find (The coffee store example and the sample.php example -- which I posted below)

 

It seems that the sample.php works fine but it does not seem to reference the SDK AuthorizeNet.php. 

 

Is there some reason that one would need to use AuthorizeNet.php for AIM?

 

I see it in the Coffee store example, but not sample.php.  (Also, Are there any other examples available?)

 

Thanks you

Because the sample code came out long before the SDKs and it isn't using any code from it.

No, you don't need to use the AuthorizeNetAIM object from AuthorizeNet.php, but you may want to so that instead of typing all of that stuff, you can type this:

 

<?php
require_once 'anet_php_sdk/AuthorizeNet.php';// Make sure this path is correct.
$transaction =new AuthorizeNetAIM('YOUR_API_LOGIN_ID','YOUR_TRANSACTION_KEY');
$transaction->amount ='9.99';
$transaction->card_num ='4007000000027';
$transaction->exp_date ='10/16';
// add other details as needed

$response = $transaction->authorizeAndCapture();

if($response->approved){
  echo "<h1>Success! The test credit card has been charged!</h1>";
  echo "Transaction ID: ". $response->transaction_id;
}else{
  echo $response->error_message;
}
?>
