I do have a question for you though. Is there a way to pass the invoice ID, Amount, and Customer ID through the returnedXML? I would like this information to carry through to an additional page that uses this data to query a database, but cannot see a way to extract those variables from the returned XML... Any thoughts? Here is what I have so far, but sure how to get those variables to carry through Authorize: <!--- remove the BOM (byte order mark) from the resulting content, if it exists --> <!--- will also return the sent orignal xml in case they want to do anything else with it --> Here --> Here --> Thank you for your time. I know that this is an older project of yours, but I would definitely appreciate any help you can give. Abe Stem Hello Ryan,

Or is this stuff on the page after the cfc has inititated? Thanks! I am passing the form variables into the cfc like you show here:

"
<cfset PaymentGateway = CreateObject("component","AuthorizeNetRecurring").init(
    loginname = "AuthNetLoginName",
    transactionKey = "YourTransactionKey",
    mode = "live or test")>

<cfinvoke component="#PaymentGateway#" method="createSubscription" returnvariable="result">
    <cfinvokeargument name="startDate" value="#DateFormat(Now(),"yyyy-mm-dd")#">
    <cfinvokeargument name="customerEmail" value="#email#">
    etc….
</cfinvoke>  
"

Are you just passing variables into the cfc differently? Or is this stuff on the page after the cfc has inititated?

Thanks!

<cfset myObj.createSubscription(startDate = Form.startDate, customerEmail = Form.email, etc…) />

What happened was there was a cftry in there (I didn't write the code and missed it) and errors weren't showing up. It is updating on the authorize.net site! One final question! What would I use to grab the subscriptionid? returnedxml.subscriptionid and retStruct.subscriptionid and result.subscriptionid don't work for me! I tried your <cfset tmp = MyObj.createSubscription(….. all your data here)> but wrote it as <cfset tmp = MyObj.createSubscription> and i got the error "CREATESUBSCRIPTION is undefined in MYOBJ." Thanks sooooooo much :) Ok, so they weren't actually blocking anything. What happened was there was a cftry in there (I didn't write the code and missed it) and errors weren't showing up.

ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest.? or returnedxml.? or call #cfhttp.fileContent#? Thanks again, I really appreciate it. What is the proper variable name for these?

Correct, no error messages. I dont actually think that it is connecting to Authorize.net. I worked through some error messages already, now I just get blanks for variables and nothing updates on the authorize.net site. I am even saving the returnedXML.subscriptionId variable into a table and it enters in as an empty variable, but it does exist. Do you think that there is something that hostmysite could be blocking? Have you heard of anyone else having this problem? Thanks again! Thanks for the reply. Correct, no error messages. I dont actually think that it is connecting to Authorize.net.
