php - Forward any PayPal payment in EUR currency using openexchangerates.org
I would like to forward any payment transaction to be made in EUR currency. I already modified my responsible php file to do that, but I’m having a hard time to make it use a real time exchange rate. At the moment this is what I send to PayPal and it works:
if ( $selected != 'EUR' ) {
$themex_final_payable_amount = ((3.672538)*($themex_final_payable_amount))/(66.809999);
}
$p->add_field('business', trim($busi));
$p->add_field('currency_code','EUR');
$p->add_field('return', $ themex_paypal_success_page);
$p->add_field('cancel_return', $cancel_url);
$p->add_field('notify_url', get_bloginfo('siteurl').'/?payment_response=paypal_response');
$p->add_field('item_name', $page_title);
$p->add_field('custom', $order_id);
$p->add_field('amount', ($themex_final_payable_amount));
$p->submit_paypal_post(); // submit the fields to paypal
I would like instead of 3.672538 and 66.809999 to use a variables from this API answer, which is auto updated once a day.
JSON - latest.json
{
disclaimer: "https://openexchangerates.org/terms/",
license: "https://openexchangerates.org/license/",
timestamp: 1449877801,
base: "USD",
rates: {
AED: 3.672538,
AFN: 66.809999,
ALL: 125.716501,
AMD: 484.902502,
ANG: 1.788575,
AOA: 135.295998,
ARS: 9.750101,
AUD: 1.390866,
/* ... */
}
}
The problem is that I can’t find a way to call them - like use the today values of AED and AFN…Here is the part of the code which is used in the admin page (another PHP file) where I put my API key:
if(isset($_POST['themex_save5']))
{
$json = get_option('exchange_rates');
$exchangeRates = json_decode($json);
global $themex_currencies_array;
foreach ($themex_currencies_array as $themex_currency) {
if ($themex_currency != "USD") {
$exchangeRates->rates->$ themex_currency = $_POST['themex_' . $themex_currency . '_currency'];
}
}
$json = json_encode($exchangeRates);
update_option('exchange_rates', $json);
update_option('openexchangerates_appid', trim($_POST['openexchangerates_appid']));
echo '<div class="updated fade"><p>'.__('Settings saved!',' themex').'</p></div>';
}
Based on the above I thought it should work like this but it does not
if ( $selected != 'EUR' ) {
$ themex_final_payable_amount = (($themex_AED_currency)*($ themex_final_payable_amount))/($themex_AFN_currency);
}

So here is the part of code I needed. I've managed to get it working :)
