• Started from not accepting – in 2006, I did not accepted Brain Korea Fund offered by a Korean university for Master of Engineering.
• After then, I keep applying for Erasmus Mundus fund and they keep on rejecting my application.
• In search of alternative universities, I exchange 200+ emails  corresponding. But still didn’t find best fit.
• Evaluating MCA/MBA offering in some finest engineering colleges from Bangalore and changed mind not to go India.

The best thing is that, I learnt so many things that no universities can teach in this period of four years – working with people from different background, culture, country and being pain in ass on the problem which I know no right solution.

Finally checking option in Nepalese colleges, Ace become my choice:

• Executive MBA, designed to best fit to working managers like me.
• Evening shifts class, that still allow me work and earn a million box (haa).
• Ranked best in country.

And, I hope it will enhance managerial skill and help to acheive entrepreneurial desire.

I always used to think way to aggregate comments (of post) which spread throughout different social network. Later, I found some nice tools like DISQUS, Echo, IntenseDebate and Livefyre. Two of them are realtime and not free, two of them are free (possibly not realtime). I just registered and integrate with DISQUS (is not realtime, ops sorry, Ro Gupta say it’s real time but for VIP only). I am gonna see some days, how it goes. If it doesn’t go as I expect, I’ll write my own.

You should be aware of general configuration part before you can begin this portion of code. Read Topic 3.3 in “iDEAL_Advanced_PHP_EN_V2.2.pdf”.

In brief it works in following way:

1. Make directory request (Get Bank list, Issuer list is what they called)
2. Make Transaction Request and redirected to iDEAL/bank)
3. Make Status Request (This is after iDEAL/bank redirect to webshop)

1) Directory Request

Directory Request means you are fetching Issuer List (List of banks) from iDEAL. This is list of banks which are associated with iDEAL and making payment from these banks is possible. Below is code, how can you fetch Issuer List:

If you see line number 3, I have made little bit changes. Original iDEAL document has

There’s no way that $response is false on failure because $ideal_connector->GetIssuerList() returns ErrorRespose Object. So when error is returned by Get $ideal_connector->IssuerList(), you’ll encounter error in next line i.e. $response->getIssuerFullList() because ErrorResponse object do not have getIssuerFullList().

Once you fetch Issuer Lists (Banks), let end user select his/her bank. HTML code looks like below:

Note: It is suggested to save issuer list in local cache and run DirectoryRequest query once in 24 hour.

Transaction Request
End user will select banks (issuer is what they called) and submit form. Now you have to make Transaction request and redirect issuer’s website. Code looks like below

After this, end user login to his bank and make payment. On successful, iDEAL/bank redirect customer to webshop again (you have to define redirect page in config, they call it MerchantReturnURL).

Parameters for RequestTransaction():
IssuerId: the ID of the issuer the consumer has selected from the pick list
PurchaseId: the purchase number according to the online shop’s system
Amount: the amount in whole cents (no decimals; 1 Euro = 100)
Description: the description of the product
EntranceCode: a code determined by the online shop with which the purchase can be
authenticated upon redirection to the online shop (see section 4.2.2 for details).
(optional) ExpirationPeriod: if different from the configured value.
(optional) MerchantReturnURL: if different from the configured value.

Status Request
When iDEAL/bank redirect end user to webshop, it will automatically add two parameters entranceCode and TransactionId. entranceCode is hold by ec variable and TransectionId is hold by trxid variable. So, you have TransactionId (trxid) in landing page, you should make status request. If you do not make status request, payment will not be guaranteed. Following is code to make status request:

(Issue request can be made manually from iDEAL Dashboard as well).

Parameter values in hidden control are hypothetical (dummy). So you need to replace with right values.

You can download tinyMCE with Ajax File Manager plugin from http://www.phpletter.com/DOWNLOAD, See under “Tinymce Ajax File and Image Manager”. Direct link http://www.phpletter.com/download_project_version.php?version_id=28.

A copy of demo TinyMCE with Ajax File Manager can be seen here http://demo.phpletter.com/tinymce_test.php. View Source and copy code.

Code snippet to enable Ajax File Manager in TinyMCE:

Analysis of code:
Line number 15:

The value ‘ajaxfilemanager’ defines the name of the Javascript function which will be called every time a user clicks the browse button in one of the dialogue windows. You can see function definition start from line number 25 to 54. This function opens a new window calling a URL tailored (See line number 26).

Important Points
Don’t forget to set upload directory path in tiny_mce/plugins/ajaxfilemanager/inc/config.base.php. It should be relative path.

Above folder should have 777 permission. Also set 777 permission to session folder folder, tiny_mce/plugins/ajaxfilemanager/session.

Alternatively you can try following uploader

http://dustweb.ru/log/projects/tinymce_images/

Cofigure:

1. Give class name to your editor e.g. class=”tiny”
2. Add following
   In list of plugins, add images
   add editor_selector : “tiny”,
   In list of button, add images
3. Change DIR_IMAGES and DIR_FILES path on tiny_mce/plugins/images/connector/php/config.php to suit your location. Upload folder should have 777 permission.

Actual configuration looks like (See images on line number 8 and 12):

Good luck!

In summery, it takes following steps to setup iDEAL Advance:

1. Registration
2. Integration
3. Run mandatory test cases in iDEAL test environment
4. iDEAL approve test cases and contract (you should sign up contract)
5. Live account has to be activated (See below Mandatory Test)
6. So, your live sale can be done in iDEAL.

Follow details steps below:

1. Login to iDEAL/ING Dashboard (Given below are URL for dashboard)
   Test environment: https://idealtest.secure-ing.com
   Production environment: https://ideal.secure-ing.com
   Note: Merchant ID and Login name is same for both test and live. But password is different for live and test.
2. Once you login, first thing you need to go to Document link. There you can download documentation and Advance integration code. Documentation is available in English and Dutch.
   Important Downloads:
   a) iDEAL General – Introduction and procedure (Click on link to get manual)
   b) iDEAL Advanced Integration Manual PHP (Click on link to get manual)
   c) iDEAL Advanced Integration Code PHP (Sorry,  no links, ups!!)
   Note: You should be aware about registration process. Look “Registration process (2)” in iDEAL General – Introduction and procedure
   
3. To integrate Advance iDEAL in PHP, follow instruction in “iDEAL Advanced Integration Manual PHP”, there are lot of steps you should follow carefully. In summery:
   1) Generate private key using openSSL
   2) Generate certificate using private key.
   3) Upload certificate to configuration (Login to iDEAL dashboard -> Go to sign up process -> Click on Configuration tab)
   4) Change params value in config.conf which available in /includes/security.
   5) Also you should edit iDEALConnector_config.inc.php if you move security folder then then default.
4. Upload scripts (PHP Advanced Code)
5. Run 6 tests in iDEAL test environment. Wait for iDEAL response on your test.  (See below Mandatory Test)
6. iDEAL has to set live account activate. Now your gateway is ready!!

Mandatory Test:

You should run mandatory test before you can set iDEAL live. Look “Registration process (2)” in iDEAL General – Introduction and procedure. It’s not easy to setup online store to configure to meet test suite requirement. Hence, you can use iDEAL Tester, which you can download from http://www.ideal-simulator.nl/ideal-professional-tester.html.

Once you download scripts, make changes on idealprofessional.cfg.php file which is located inside library folder. Upload scripts to server and access it http://<host>/ideal-professional-tester/index.php

You can confirm tests status from iDEAL dashboard.

1. Login to Dashboard (test and live has different dashboard)
2. Click on Sign up Process
3. Click on Status (You’ll see following screen if test successes).
   

   iDEAL mandatory test results

4. Once you finish test suits, iDEAL will activate live account. It may take several hours, so I suggest you to call their support dept. and ask them to activate (it speed up).
5. Once they activate your live account, your live dashboard looks different as given below.

Note: You should run this test on same domain where your online store will resides.

Note: this post describe process how to integrate iDEAL Adanced (ING Bank) using PHP APIs.

Configuring iDEAL basic is very easy which works with post method by redirecting URL to their gateway.

If you have done for any other Bank or other way, let me know.

Update: for iDEAL Basic click this link

I gave first try today in Ubuntu. It wasn’t that bad as I heard. Actually I was wrong about Perl, it was proved.

Below is how, I tried first hello world and first database application

Install Perl

Don’t worry, if Perl is already installed, it do nothing. If you have Ubuntu server edition, Perl is already there.

Create directory called perl_test. Create perl_test.pl file and save following content.

Save file named as perl_test.pl and run following command.

Database Test:
Create perl_db.pl file and save following content.

Make sure user test with password test and database test exits. And it has test table.

 
Haurry!!!

1. Mix/Max of php and HTML code, which is pain in ASS to UI programmer, CSS guys.
2. Junk and vulnerable SQL statement, no way to make site secure.
3. Bunch of configuration variables and constants on config.php file.
4. Unmanaged structure of files, functions and classes.
5. Not proper modular structure which cause hard to maintenance application.
6. Personal interest of variable, function naming – lots of garbage and junk codes.
7. Writing and re-writing of code for same function within one projects and in multiple project.
8. No common standard and no central key. Different flow of each function/module, you never can say start and end when it comes to debugging.
9. And, I am seeing lot more others day by day…

So, on process of eliminating those stuffs, I keep enhancing that piece of code with feedback and direct involvement of some handful colleague, phpBricks is made.

I understand it is same pain for all programmers until you know such framework exists (I bet hundreds of such framework exists, just google it). So here, it is my privileges to share that piece of code, now so called phpBricks. I have uploaded demo copy, naming alpha release at SourceForge. I have been using it to build many commercial softwares. But I do not recommend you as this is alpha release and no sufficient resource will be found. If you want to use it, challenge the risk.
