NYCPHP Meetup

[Ben Sgro (ProjectSkyline)]

Hello,

Brian - How was the experiance with Verisign ..?

Archive.org is having lots of problems returning a result for my search .. 
but I did find
through google this pretty good link: 
http://www.zend.com/code/codex.php?id=1488&single=1

It mentions setting up sandbox accounts for a buyer and fake cc/bank 
accounts, which is something
else I was wondering about for testing purposes.

Thanks.

- Ben
