Can PHP be used in APEX (or a similar solution)
76380Apr 19 2006 — edited Jun 26 2008Hi,
Has anyone managed to use PHP with APEX? or an equivalent solution just using APEX?
The problem I have is that I'm trying to get online payments working with Paypal and I need to process the IPN that Paypal sends back to a 'notify_url'. There are code examples on the Paypal developer site, but there aren't any examples for integrating IPN with APEX.
The only way I thought of doing it so far was to set the 'notify_url' to call a stored procedure in my database. But I don't know how to process the equivalent $_POST and $_GET PHP functions to process the passback variables from Paypal in a PL/SQL procedure. Has anyone managed to do this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm at the point of seriously considering dropping my APEX soultion in favour of a PHP one! But I don't really want to do this as all the rest of my APEX app is working fine! I'm falling at the last hurdle!
If anyone can point me in the right direction for integrating website payments in APEX then that would be fantastic.
Has anyone in the world got an Oracle APEX application accepting online payments using paypal? If not, is this not a major flaw in APEX if you can't get apps to do this?
Cheers,
Kev
