Do you have LIVE account? For a demo account you can use only demo values

Hi,

Thanks for the script. I have a problem though, the domestic rates work just fine, but the international ones don’t, not on testings nor production.

This is the error I get: API Authorization failure. IntlRate is not a valid API name for this protocol.

I would really appreciate if you could help me, this is very important and urgent to me.

Hope you can give me a reply. THANKS A LOT!
Best regards
Salman

Thank You. I pumped this into my website in 1 hour. I leaned PHP four days ago. I am giving you money.

Summary of posts above:
1) Don’t change any of the settings until you go LIVE.
2) Access your result string in this manner:
foreach($price->list as $method) {
echo $method->mailservice.”=”;
echo $method->rate.”&”;
echo “\n”;
}

did something break with the postal service today???
my site is not calculating postage any more – must have just lost a sale, that’s how I noticed.
Seems to be hanging for a long time when connecting to the postal server.
?????

Cheers
