Issue with stripe payment set up

votes

I am a definite PHP noob, so please bear with me. I am trying to set up a simple donation payment option for my fund raising website. I've got a paypal option, but was looking to add a stripe option as well.

I'm using there simple Checkout process to collect card info and set up the stripe token. I've set up a pay.php file to handle the card info on the server.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
// secret key
***Stripe::setApiKey("sk_test_##########");***

// Get the credit card details submitted by the form
$token = $_POST['stripeToken'];

//Create the charge on Stripe's servers
try {
$charge = Stripe_Charge::create(array(
"amount" => 500, // amount in cents, again
"currency" => "aud",
"card" => $token,
 "description" => "[email protected]")
);
} catch(Stripe_CardError $e) {
// card decline
}
?>

</body>
</html>

Obviously I use the right secret key, I've just blocked it out here. Everything seems to work with the form, but when it POSTS to pay.php it throws up this error.

Fatal error: Class 'Stripe' not found in /home/munkeychunk/public_html/pay.php on line 8

Line 8, as highlighted above is the secret key component/API key. As I said, I'm a bit of a PHP novice, and i'm not sure how or what to set the class 'Stripe' to!

Most of the PHP is lifted straight from stripe's own documentation, but it doesn't seem to work straight out of the box. My attempt to solve was to try to 'include Stripe.php', using an external stripe.php page which is used if you process payments using javascript/jquery rather than stripe's checkout option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - please be gentle with your comments!

include Stripe.php should be include 'Stripe.php'. - Eisa Adil
Is it as simple as a missing/unlocated file on the server? - munkeychunks
Thank you - I do have 'Stripe.php' in the actual document - I stupidly didn't type it right in my question. Sorry. - munkeychunks
If you didn't type in question then you should edit it so that community can answer it correctly. Show the actual code. - Abhishek
@munkeychunks have you checked my answer. - Abhishek

I was having the same problem but then I installed Stripe using Composer. Then in my PHP file I require_once the autoload.php file and that seemed to pull in the Stripe library

<?php 
// Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
// See your keys here https://dashboard.stripe.com/account
require_once('/home2/username/vendor/autoload.php');
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("sk_test_########");

// Get the credit card details submitted by the form
$token = $_POST['stripeToken'];

// Create the charge on Stripe's servers - this will charge the user's card
try {
$charge = \Stripe\Charge::create(array(
  "amount" => 1000, // amount in cents, again
  "currency" => "usd",
  "source" => $token,
  "description" => "[email protected]")
);
} catch(\Stripe\Error\Card $e) {
  // The card has been declined
};

?>

require_once('/home2/username/vendor/autoload.php');

Instead of autoload.php use init.php

Depending on where your Stripe files are, you may have to edit the path statements on each line of init.php

The use of autoload.php is for when Stripe is installed with Composer. When you wish to use Stripe with a manual install, use init.php where the Stripe devs have provided all the functionality contained in the answer above.

I am guessing you haven't included Stripe library as given in Stripe Documentation. So it should be like 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
//Include stripe library first before doing anything related to stripe here
require_once('./lib/Stripe.php');
// secret key
***Stripe::setApiKey("sk_test_##########");***

// Get the credit card details submitted by the form
$token = $_POST['stripeToken'];

//Create the charge on Stripe's servers
try {
$charge = Stripe_Charge::create(array(
"amount" => 500, // amount in cents, again
"currency" => "aud",
"card" => $token,
 "description" => "[email protected]")
);
} catch(Stripe_CardError $e) {
// card decline
}
?>

</body>
</html>

Documentation : https://stripe.com/docs/checkout/guides/php

Note : A PHP >= 5.2 environment is required

For those of you who still get the error message

Class 'Stripe' not found in /home/munkeychunk/public_html/pay.php on line 8

I'm with you. I got around this problem by doing require_once to all the necessary Stripe files in /lib/. Order matters, here's what worked for me

require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Stripe.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Util/Set.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Util/RequestOptions.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Util/Util.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Error/Base.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Error/InvalidRequest.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Object.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/ApiRequestor.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/ApiResource.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/SingletonApiResource.php') ;
require_once ('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Charge.php') ;

$files = glob('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/*.php');
foreach ($files as $file) {
    require_once($file);   
}

$files = glob('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Error/*.php');
foreach ($files as $file) {
    require_once($file);   
}

$files = glob('./stripe-php-2.1.1/lib/Util/*.php');
foreach ($files as $file) {
    require_once($file);   
}
