Hello! We have a snippet for catching and handling errors here: https://docs.stripe.com/api/errors/handling

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:12 PM

#

Thanks. That is exactly where I copy and pasted my code from that is not working the way I expect it to

#

Instead of entering those error branches, I am having a "fatal error" printed out to my user instead of one of the echos in the appropriate error branch

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:14 PM

#

In the stack trace which line of the code above triggered that exception?

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

Fatal error: Uncaught (Status 402) (Request req_o4oF28Bk741565) Your card has insufficient funds. thrown in /homepages/7/d762472547/htdocs/kpss/vendor/stripe/stripe-php/lib/Exception/ApiErrorException.php on line 38

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

That's the error you shared above. What's the full stack trace?

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:19 PM

#

sorry, I am not familiar with a stack trace in PHP. Do you know where I would find that?

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:20 PM

#

near oxide Fatal error: Uncaught (Status 402) (Request req_o4oF28Bk741565) Your card has in...

also, this is confusing as I typed in a fake cvc and zip code, so seems like the wrong fatal error

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:20 PM

#

It should be in your PHP error log, in the same place where you got that error detail above.

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:20 PM

#

That error detail is actually printing out to the user in the webbrowser

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

Can you look at the PHP error log on your server for more info?

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

I will take a look. I have never seen a php error log on my server before but i will start digging ( i use ionos server)

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:26 PM

#

Oh, hang on.

#

I think the error is being thrown by your \Stripe\Customer::create call, which isn't inside a try...catch, so the error isn't being caught.

#

Yeah, that's what's happening. You're trying to attach a Token to a Customer and that process is failing.

#

Try moving that code inside your try block.

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

Of course. It doesn't seem to me like the error should take place in the customer creation, but that must have been it because the catch block "CardException" fires off when I move the customer creation into the try

#

Thanks 😎

#

What is the oldest version of PHP that this stripe charge tool will work for???

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:36 PM

#

I'm not sure, but it's a pretty old version. I will say we do not recommend creating Charges like this directly, or using Tokens. Those approaches are legacy and shouldn't be used if you're building something new.

#

I am mainly trying to improve a platform i wrote a few years ago

#

What is the recommended way in PHP to handle a transaction (if possible without a webhook)

#

So, I am noticing now that

$idempotency = preg_replace('/[^a-z\d]/im', '', $_POST['idempotency']);
try {

//create a customer in stripe
$customer = \Stripe\Customer::create(array(
    "email" => $email_address,
    "source" => $stripe_token
    )
);

$charge = \Stripe\Charge::create(1
    ["amount" => $entry_cost,
    "currency" => "usd",
    "description" => $description,
    "customer" => $customer->id ], [
"idempotency_key" => $idempotency]);

}catch(Exception $e) {

Does not catch the idempotency errors when customer is inside the catch block

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

Have a look here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-intents/migration

#

Can you give me an example of an idempotency exception you want to catch there?

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:43 PM

#

If i run the transaction with a bad zip/cvc and get the decline error

Then push "back" on my browser

And then try to resubmit the same form

I am getting the decline error rather then an idempotency error

tawdry fernBOT Sep 19, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

That sounds expected; you're making the same request with the same idempotency key, so you're getting the same result back.

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:48 PM

#

OK, the biggest issue I am having with this platform is that users are getting the error, and clicking back, and resubmitting the same form. I have a message on screen that tells them to refresh and not resubmit, but they miss it and get caught in this loop where they cant pay

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

Idempotency is designed to prevent accidental duplicate submissions, it's not designed to guard against the scenario you're describing. I recommend you alter your page so, if someone goes back to it after it's already been used, you detect that and prevent it from being used again.

near oxide Sep 19, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

Ok I dont have a vision yet on how I would do that, is that possible with php and js or do I need to be using something more sophisticated

dry forge Sep 19, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

You can do it with PHP and JS. There are various techniques, but that's outside the scope of what we can help with here as it's not directly related to Stripe.
