Error when contribution page titles contain double quotes?
July 26, 2010, 08:37:29 am
Drupal 6.15
CiviCRM 3.1
Authorize.net payment processor

I get an error when I submit a live contribution page that has double quotes in its title.  For example:  This "title" will not work.  Strangely, this contribution page works when using the test-drive link.  The error text reads:

Payment Processor Error message
:9003:MD5 Verification failed

See attached image.  I haven't been able to find any similar issues documented.  As soon as I remove the double quotes, my contribution page worked.  At first I thought it might have been a smart-quotes issue since I copied and pasted the title from an email.  However, using plain text double quotes also cause the error.  Seems odd that we wouldn't be able to use double quotes in our titles.

your best bet would be to instrument the authorize.net payment processor code: CRM/Core/Payment/AuthorizeNet.php

and submit a patch to the file to handle quotes in the title. Authorize.net is a contributed processor maintained by the community

Other option would be not to use MD5 option, that should solve this problem.

@Kurund:  Wouldn't that be a security risk?  I thought the MD5 was there so you could verify that the request was actually from Authorize.net?

Don't know much about Authorize.net, you should check with authorize.net people. I think MD5 option never worked with CiviCRM. Note that Authorize.net is community contributed payment processor so don't know much about it.
