Define value in if statement not working – Oscommerce

I’m working on an easy way to do edit the status of an Paypal payment system so i can switch it over in test mode when needed without going into the code. “MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER” is defined to “Live”, but for some reason it keep throwing the sandbox url.

echo MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER ;

if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER == "Live") {
    $form_action_url = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';
  } else {
    $form_action_url = 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';
  }
echo ' '.$form_action_url;
die();

The above outputs:

Live https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr‘

If I replace MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER with ‘live’ it returns the value correctly, I also tried to move the DEFINE to a Variable before it goes to the IF statement, but it still doesn’t work.

I’m using OsCommerce to define this via the admin system.

var_dump also shows:

string(20) “Live”

instead of what it should:

string(4) “Live”

Options for MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER
is “Live” and “Sandbox”.

    After removing and adding MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER a few times without any changes I completely removed the paypal script from the site and installet it again. now it works!

    The following code works as expected:

    <?php
    define("MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER", "LIVE");
    echo MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER ;

    if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER == "Live") 
    {
        $form_action_url = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';
    } 
    else 
    {
        $form_action_url = 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';
    }
    echo ' '.$form_action_url;
    die();
?>

// Outpu: Live https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

    How exactly are you definine your constant?

    When the following is changed:

    define("MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER", "LIVE");

    the output is

    LIVE https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

    Edit: Based on your comment, the code is working exactly as it should then. You are defining your constant as LIVE but then checking it in your if statement against Live. When you compare them, they are not equal, therefore the if statement evaluates to false and your second condition is executed.

    <?php
if(!defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER')) {
  define('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER', 'Live');
}

if(MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STANDARD_GATEWAY_SERVER == 'Live') {
 echo('live');
} else {
 echo('sandboxing');
}
?>

    Shows live ;-))
