Testing

To test your form, you might first use Display.cgi until you've verified that the form hidden fields are submitting like they are supposed to. Display.cgi simply displays the submitted fields and their values in your browser, where you can see for yourself what the form submits.

To use Display.cgi:

1. Upload Display.cgi into your cgi-bin and give it
755 permissions.

2. Change your form's action="..." to Display.cgi's
URL.

Now you're ready to test.

Once you've verified that the form submits information as it should, change the form's action="..." back to https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

You aren't required to use Display.cgi for testing, of course. But it's available if you think it might make things easier.

Display.cgi also provides the current date and time according to your server's clock. This date and time must be correct, within a few minutes, in order to use the SIM method.

To obtain the server's current date and time directly, type the URL of Display.cgi into your browser's address bar.
