//$token = $_POST['stripeToken'];
// Create the charge on Stripe's servers - this will charge the user's card
try {
$charge = \Stripe\Charge::create(array(
"amount" => 100, // amount in cents, again
"currency" => "usd",
"source" => $token,
"description" => "Example charge"
));
} catch(\Stripe\Error\Card $e) {
// The card has been declined
}
It give fatal error.

I don't know the reason behind that.

Answer 1

The message shows Network error [errno 28], which is a curl error, defined as a CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT error. This is a connection error.
Connection errors are usually due to security group settings and not allowing outbound https, in this case to the API endpoint (https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges).
Can you try to curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges and confirm you can connect?
You should get the following:
{
"error": {
"type": "invalid_request_error",
"message": "You did not provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in the Authorization header, using Bearer auth (e.g. 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY'). See https://stripe.com/d
ocs/api#authentication for details, or we can help at https://support.stripe.com/."
}
}
If you do not get that response the command line on your server, then your code will not be able to connect either. Review your outgoing security group settings, and allow outbound HTTPS to the IP of the endpoint, or 0.0.0.0/0.
