  14 I. DESCRIPTION
  15
  16   TCLink is a thin client library to allow your e-commerce servers to
  17 connect to the TrustCommerce payment gateway easily and consistently.
  18 The protocol (which is the same across all platforms and languages) is
  19 well-documented in the Web Developer's Guide, so please consult it for
  20 any questions you may have about the protocol syntax itself.
  21
  22   If you are on a Windows environment, do not use this client.  Please
  23 download the COM object and use the COM functions available for Windows
  24 to access the TCLink object.  See here for more information:
  25         http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.com.php
  26
  27   TCLink was originally ported to PHP by Andrew Barnett of Data Clarity.
  28 Thanks go to both him (for the code) and his business (for their support
  29 of open source).

  33
  34   TCLink for PHP is released under the GNU LGPL.  Please read LICENSE
  35 for details.

  38 III. REQUIREMENTS
  39
  40   You must be running PHP 4.0.4pl1 or higher.
  41
  42   You need to have the OpenSSL development libraries installed.
  43 It is recommended you use the most recent version provided by the
  44 vendor for PCI reasons.
  45
  46
  47   Besides the normal PHP install, you'll need the php-devel package,
  48 which contains files needed for building PHP modules.  You can tell
  49 if this package is installed if the binary "phpize" is in your path.
  50
  51
  52 IV. BUILDING
  53
  54   At the root directory of this archive, execute the following:
  55
  56     phpize
  57
  58   Afterwards, type the following commands:
  59
  60     ./configure --with-ssl
  61     make
  62
  63   Note 1:  On some systems, the SSL library may be in a different place, such as /usr/lib64.
  64   In that case, type the following commands instead:
  65
  66     ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/lib64
  67     make
  68
  69   If you are not sure where your SSL library is installed, contact your system administrator or hosting provider
  70   for more information.
  71
  72   If the module builds without errors and you have access to PHP at the command line,
  73   you can test it with the following command:
  74
  75     php -d extension=modules/tclink.so tctest.php
  76
  77   This script will run a test transaction and print the results.
  78
  79
  80 V. INSTALLATION
  81
  82   If you have root access to the machine, you will probably want to
  83 install TCLink as a global extension.  You can do this by copying the
  84 module library (modules/tclink.so) to your PHP extensions directory
  85 (typically /usr/lib/php5).  Your extensions directory is defined by the
  86 "extension_dir" directive in php.ini.
  87
  88   Edit php.ini (typically found in /etc) and add the following line:
  89
  90     extension=tclink.so
  91
  92   Restart your webserver, and all PHP scripts will have access to TCLink.
  93
  94   If you can't or don't want to install the module system wide, you can
  95 still load it manually in each script that needs to access it through
  96 the dl() call.  See the top of tctest.php for an example.
  97
  98
  99 VI. USAGE
 100
 101   The tctest.php script shows a simple example of running transactions
 102 through the TCLink API.  A more complex example is contained in
 103 tcexample.php.  For further information, please consult the TC
 104 Developer's Guide, located in the doc subdirectory.
 105
 106   The curltest.php script shows a simple example of running transactions
 107 through the HTTPS post, as describd in the Developer's Guide.  It is
 108 provided here in as a conveinence to users who are unable to install
 109 TCLink and have Curl available in their installation.
