The new ECHO-PHP Class is now available. ECHO-PHP Class drives all types of real-time credit card and check transactions using ECHO merchant processing’s free secure payment gateway and open-source real-time software. Supports system check, address verification, authorization and deposit, deposit, credit, commercial card, electronic check debit, and more. The new ECHO-PHP Class makes it easier than ever to connect to ECHO using this popular server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language. Ideal for all commerce applications. Perfect for ISP/IPPs to use for billing their clients, since this supports electronic checks as well.

// //
// Name: ECHOPHP v1.5.3 03-12-2002 //
// Description: PHP Class used to interface with //
// ECHO (http://www.echo-inc.com). //
// Requirements: cURL - http://curl.haxx.se/ //
// OpenSSL - http://www.openssl.org //
// Refer to ECHO's documentation for more info //
// https://wwws.echo-inc.com //
// 03-12-2002 - added ec_transaction_dt //
// 01-16-2002 - fixed ec_account_type (typo) //
// 01-10-2002 - Added ec_account_type and ec_payment_type //
// for Alex ;-) //
// New to this version are the CyberSource return values: //
// cs_factors, cs_flags, cs_host_score, cs_reference_number, //
// cs_response, cs_score, cs_status. //
// The ECHO gateway now support CyberSource transaction //
// types: CI, CE, CB. //
