These functions interface the CCVS API, allowing you to work
directly with CCVS from your PHP scripts. CCVS is <ulink
url="&url.redhat;">RedHat's</ulink> solution to the "middle-man"
in credit card processing. It lets you directly address the
credit card clearing houses via your *nix box and a modem. Using
the CCVS module for PHP, you can process credit cards directly
through CCVS via your PHP Scripts. The following references will
outline the process.

CCVS has been discontinued by Red Hat and there are no plans
to issue further keys or support contracts. Those looking for a
replacement can consider
<ulink url="&url.redhat.mcve;">MCVE by Main Street Softworks</ulink>
as a potential replacement. It is similar in design and has documented
PHP support!

To enable CCVS Support in PHP, first verify your CCVS installation
directory. You will then need to configure PHP with the <option
role="configure">--with-ccvs</option> option. If you use this
option without specifying the path to your CCVS installation, PHP
will attempt to look in the default CCVS Install location
(/usr/local/ccvs). If CCVS is in a non-standard location, run
configure with: <option
role="configure">--with-ccvs=$ccvs_path</option>, where $ccvs_path
is the path to your CCVS installation. Please note that CCVS
support requires that $ccvs_path/lib and $ccvs_path/include exist,
and include cv_api.h under the include directory and libccvs.a
under the lib directory.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, a ccvsd process will need to be running for the
configurations you intend to use in your PHP scripts. You will
also need to make sure the PHP Processes are running under the
same user as your CCVS was installed as (e.g. if you installed
CCVS as user 'ccvs', your PHP processes must run as 'ccvs' as
well.)
