Does anyone know how to send a payment using php and the Blockchain.info api?

Here's the api link: http://blockchain.info/api/json_rpc_api

In there it gives a method for doing so:

But it says Second Password Required.  So how do I pass my second password?

Higher on the page, it says this:

So, how do I send a payment?

The second password is provided by first calling the walletpassphrase method.


Two factor authentication must be disabled in Account Settings.

Assuming you only want to send you would be better off using http://blockchain.info/api/blockchain_wallet_api. Very rough example

<?php

$wallet_identifier = 'abf66471-fe0a-6820-8977-55d7e8c1f6b2';

$address = 'Your Bitcoin address';

$password = 'Your Password';

$second_password = 'Your Second password'; //Only if double encryption is enabled in account settings

$amount = 100000000; //1 BTC in Satoshi

$response = file_get_contents("https://blockchain.info/merchant/$wallet_identifier/payment?password=$password!&second_password=$second_password&to=$address&amount=$amount");

//Check response for errors

php?>

yeah, I was just reading about that method on the Wallet API.  Thanks for that.

Is there any good code snippets around for handling errors?  I'm basically seeing if response is empty or not an array, but I imagine there is a better method.
