Maxmind minFraud PHP API

Deprecation

This library is deprecated. Please use our minFraud Score, Insights, and Factors API.

Install via Composer

We recommend installing this package with Composer.

Download Composer

To download Composer, run in the root directory of your project:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

You should now have the file composer.phar in your project directory.

Install Dependencies

Run in your project root:

php composer.phar require minfraud/http:~1.70

You should now have the files composer.json and composer.lock as well as the directory vendor in your project directory. If you use a version control system, composer.json should be added to it.

Require Autoloader

After installing the dependencies, you need to require the Composer autoloader from your code:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Install without Composer

Place the files in the src directory in the include_path as specified in your php.ini file or place them in the same directory as your PHP scripts.

Example Scripts

See examples/minfraud.php for complete example how to use this API with the minFraud service.

These scripts can be run from the shell.

Usage

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$inputs = array(
    "license_key" => "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE",
    "i"           => "24.24.24.24",
    "city"        => "New York",
    "region"      => "NY",
    "postal"      => "11434",
    "country"     => "US",
    // Other inputs from http://dev.maxmind.com/minfraud/
);

$ccfs = new CreditCardFraudDetection;
$ccfs->input($inputs);
$ccfs->query();
$outputs = $ccfs->output();

print_r($outputs);

$ccfs->isSecure

If isSecure is set to 0 then it uses regular HTTP. If isSecure is set to 1 then it uses Secure HTTPS (requires Curl PHP binding).

$ccfs->useUtf8($bool)

If set to true, the output values will be converted from ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8. Defaults to false.

$ccfs->setCurlCaInfo($cert)

Sets the path to the SSL certificate to be used by cURL. If this is not set, the default certificate is used. If no certificates are available and isSecure has not been disabled, the query will fail.

$ccfs->setCurlProxy($proxy)

Sets the host:port of a proxy to be used by cURL. If this is not set, no proxy is used. For example, $ccfs->setCurlProxy('proxy.example.com:3128');

$ccfs->input($array)

Takes an array of key/value pairs to use as input for the server. See http://dev.maxmind.com/minfraud/ for details on input fields.

$ccfs->query()

Queries the server with the fields passed to the input method and stores the output.

$ccfs->output();

Returns the output from the server. See http://dev.maxmind.com/minfraud/ for details on output fields.

Secure HTTPS

Secure HTTPS is on by default. In order to use it, you need to have the Curl PHP binding, the curl library and the OpenSSL library.

You can download the curl libary at: http://curl.haxx.se/download.html http://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html for installation details

It is recommended that you install these packages in this order:

1. OpenSSL library
2. Curl library
3. Curl PHP binding
