在php中生成nonce

Question

I m new to braintree. Trying to integrate braintree in php. Followed below step:

1. Created customer.

    $customerParams = Braintree_Customer::create(array( 'firstName' => $firstName, 'lastName' => $lastName, )); 

2. Then generated clientToken

    Braintree_ClientToken::generate(array( "customerId" => $customerParams->customer->id )); 

3. Then with help of api generated nonce in js successfully:

    var client = new braintree.api.Client({clientToken: ctoken}); client.tokenizeCard({ ... ... }); 

I m stuck at part where I m trying to generate nonce in php. Can I implement nonce part in php instead of js?

Not without increasing your PCI burden . Generating the nonce on the client side really is the way to go if you want to use any third-party provider.

The point of tokenization is that you don't store/process raw credit cards on your servers at any point in the process, which makes the PCI compliance process a lot easier . If you think you need to handle credit cards directly, I would recommend talking directly with Braintree support first.
