I’ll have to try this and see if it works… from the sounds of it, I think it will work… I’ll let you know!

Thanks

Matt

True it’s not a law (yet), but if you don’t comply with PCI, Visa/MC/Discover, etc are likely to revoke your merchant account…. that’s part of what the certifications are about… if your hardware setup doesn’t certify initially, they’ll make you fix it (things like ssl certs, firewalls, etc) before they’ll turn on your account.

The PCI standard is very clear about what you can / can’t store on your server, and under what circumstances.

Here’s a link to the standards site: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/

I see that they have also included a section just for software developers to create applications that adhere to the standard, and not store any prohibited data. That part is new since I looked last, so might be a good read for us all.

Hope that helps

Excellent… thanks!

close… but not quite…. I won’t dispute your ass-backwards campaign, but to save on duplication of code in multiple places, a database is a great place to store it and retrieve it… multiple times.

I come from the land of compiled languages, and PHP/HTML/MySQL interaction is a bit foriegn to me, so I’m learning as I go.

FWIW – I did decide to do a redirect back to the page I was on , which in effect did the same thing, but I was disappointed that I couldn’t execute a page from the DB. Oh well, I guess I’ll just shake it off as another one added to my learning curve.

Thanks

As a credit card processing partner, I can tell you that Visa/MC are requiring PCI compliance and will actually certify that your site meets minimum requirements before issuing a merchant account.

Himed,

This is exactly what I was wanting to do myself ( and posted a question in a different thread).

Do you have any tips / pointers / code snippets that you’d be willing to share on what you did to create it?

Thanks

Matt

So would this be a theme change, or a plug-in?

The ebrandmarketing link doesn’t seem to be working, so I can’t check that one out.

The tutorial is a bit dated, but I think that it implies a theme change, but didn’t know for sure.

Any extra inputs on creating a page (or post) that lists all the categories and sub-categories would be great.

Thanks

Matt

Thanks for the reply.

I know nothing about jQuery, so if there were any tutorials that you found helpful that you could pass along, that would be great.

Also, I’m not sure that I understand what you mean by setting the form to not display when loaded (via CSS). Which css property are you setting (display: none, perhaps?)

Any extra points that you have (without revealing secrets ?? would be great.

Javascript/CSS aren’t my strong points, but I’m always willing to do the research.

Thanks

Matt

Thanks for the quick reply… you replied before I could post that I resolved it as a caching issue.

The ServerAlias was commented out, and I should have not included it in the post.

Thanks again for taking a peek at it.

Matt

Update:

I don’t think that its’s quotes now that I’ve played with it a bit more.

Single/double quotes appear to work. But any other non-text characters appear to be a problem. For instance in the word cliche, there is a different character than an ‘e’ for the last character (I don’t know it’s name, please fill me in) the reason I thought that it was truncating at quotes is that an online piece I was quoting had some quotes around a term, but I can see in the source that they aren’t really quotes (I don’t know what they are either).

I hope my rambling is enough to help get this part of the WP base more stable. It’s a great tool/feature. I can work around the issue, I just need to be careful of what I’m quoting.

Arrrgggghh…. seems 2 minutes after my post I figured it out… I was using an echo in the script, and it seems that it prefers printf…. different line endings by default IIRC

But I’d still like to know if it is possible to activate SSI within WordPress…. for prosperity’s sake I suppose ??

Thanks

Matt

I’ve tested the exec-php plugin to insert php code, and it works… but only for the last echo statement in my script…. any thoughts on this?

Would anyone know if it would be the plugin, or a config/script issue?

Thanks

Matt

Is there any way that I can turn on SSI inside of WordPress Pages/Posts? Looking around Apache’s site, it looks like I might be able to include the output of a CGI inside of a <table>

My biggest hangup is I don’t know what to use for the AddType entry in my .htaccess/httpd.conf file. Any suggestions? All the examples use .shtml, but with WP being processed .php, I’m not sure of what to enter there.

Thanks

Matt

The normal way that I call them is at a command-line and it outputs either to stdout, or a file. There are typically no arguments given, though occasionally there are.

I’m wanting to have it auto-populate (ie no user-interaction) as a simple list of output, probably formatted within a <div> or <table>

Thanks
Matt
