Drop in replacement for CFX_PAYFLOWPRO on ColdFusion 8
Last week I was all set to move several sites to new CF8 VPS and in testing I found that the CFX_PAYFLOWPRO and CF8 were not happy together. After a bit of research, it seems that some developers out there were able to get it to work, but I could not, most likely due to I had an older CFX_PAYFLOWPRO tag and the newest one is not available via Payflopro's website. In any case, spending time trying to get the CFX_PAYFLOWPRO to work with CF8 was not going to be a good idea. The system for charging cards that the custom tag uses is set to be retired September 2009.
So I went to work researching how to quickly replace the CFX_PAYFLOWPRO with the http request method.
Here is a drop in replacement for the CFX_PAYFLOWPRO custom tag, it returns the results of the transaction in a query just as the CFX_PAYFLOWPRO custom tag does.

Drop me a comment below, if this is useful to you, or if you have a suggestion on how to improve it.
Disclaimer: As always, test this before you deploy it, if you choose to do so, I will not be responsible for any damage it causes.
Are you just taking this code and replacing your call to the CFX_PAYFLOWPRO query? I am giving it a try and so far no luck. However, i'm no expert at this so I'm not all that surprised. :)
