To integrate MetaMask for automatic deposits in your PHP-based MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) website, you will follow several key steps that involve connecting your website to the Ethereum blockchain, enabling users to interact with MetaMask for deposits, and automating the backend processing of these deposits.
Here is a **detailed guide** on how to achieve this:
---
### **1. MetaMask Overview**
MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet that allows users to interact with Ethereum-based applications (dApps). By integrating MetaMask into your MLM website, users can securely send deposits from their wallets to your website’s smart contract on the blockchain.
---
### **2. Steps to Integrate MetaMask on Your MLM Website**
#### **Frontend Setup (JavaScript)**
The frontend involves using JavaScript to connect MetaMask with your website. This is achieved using **Web3.js**, a JavaScript library for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain.
1. **Detect MetaMask**: Before enabling users to interact with the blockchain, your website needs to detect if MetaMask is installed.
2. **Request Account Access**: MetaMask requires explicit permission from users to access their accounts.
3. **Send Transactions**: Once MetaMask is connected, users can send transactions to deposit funds.
##### **Sample Frontend Code:**
Here is the HTML and JavaScript code to detect MetaMask and allow users to connect their wallet:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>MetaMask Deposit</title>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/web3/dist/web3.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>MetaMask Deposit Integration</h1>
<button id="connectWallet">Connect MetaMask</button>
<div id="walletAddress"></div>
<script>
document.getElementById('connectWallet').addEventListener('click', async () => {
if (typeof window.ethereum !== 'undefined') {
const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
try {
await ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' });
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
document.getElementById('walletAddress').innerText = `Connected Wallet: ${accounts[0]}`;
} catch (error) {
console.error('User denied account access');
}
} else {
alert('MetaMask is not installed. Please install MetaMask extension.');
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
#### **Send Ether (Deposit Funds)**
Once MetaMask is connected, users can deposit Ether (ETH) to your MLM smart contract by sending a transaction:
```javascript
async function sendDeposit(amount) {
if (typeof window.ethereum !== 'undefined') {
const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
const fromAddress = accounts[0];
web3.eth.sendTransaction({
from: fromAddress,
to: '0xYourSmartContractAddress', // Replace with your contract address
value: web3.utils.toWei(amount, 'ether')
}, (err, transactionHash) => {
if (err) {
console.log('Transaction failed', err);
} else {
console.log('Transaction successful, hash:', transactionHash);
}
});
}
}
```
The `sendDeposit` function sends ETH from the user’s wallet to your smart contract when a deposit is made. You can add a button on your site that calls this function.
---
### **3. Smart Contract to Handle Deposits**
On the backend, you’ll need a **smart contract** to manage the deposits. The smart contract records and stores the deposits in a decentralized and transparent way.
Here’s a simple Solidity smart contract that allows users to deposit funds into it:
```solidity
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
contract MLMDeposit {
mapping(address => uint256) public deposits;
event DepositMade(address indexed user, uint256 amount);
// Function to accept deposits
function deposit() external payable {
require(msg.value > 0, "Deposit must be greater than 0");
deposits[msg.sender] += msg.value;
emit DepositMade(msg.sender, msg.value);
}
// Get contract's balance
function getContractBalance() public view returns (uint256) {
return address(this).balance;
}
}
```
1. **Deploy the Contract**: Deploy the contract to the Ethereum network (or a test network) using tools like [Remix IDE](https://remix.ethereum.org/) or [Truffle](https://trufflesuite.com/).
2. **Contract Address**: Once deployed, note the contract address. This is the address your frontend will send transactions to.
---
### **4. Backend Processing (PHP)**
To confirm and verify transactions on the blockchain, your PHP server needs to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. PHP itself doesn’t natively support Ethereum, so you can either:
1. **Use a Web3 PHP library** such as [web3.php](https://github.com/sc0Vu/web3.php), or
2. **Use a third-party Ethereum node provider**, like Infura or Alchemy, to make API calls to check transaction status.
#### **Example of PHP Code to Check Transaction Receipt:**
You can use JSON-RPC to communicate with the Ethereum network and check if a transaction was successful:
```php
<?php
function getTransactionReceipt($transactionHash) {
$url = "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_INFURA_PROJECT_ID"; // Use your Infura project ID
$data = [
"jsonrpc" => "2.0",
"method" => "eth_getTransactionReceipt",
"params" => [$transactionHash],
"id" => 1
];
$options = [
"http" => [
"header" => "Content-Type: application/json\r\n",
"method" => "POST",
"content" => json_encode($data)
]
];
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
return json_decode($result, true);
}
// Example usage
$transactionHash = "0x123456..."; // Replace with the transaction hash
$receipt = getTransactionReceipt($transactionHash);
if ($receipt && $receipt['result']) {
echo "Transaction successful!";
} else {
echo "Transaction pending or failed.";
}
?>
```
---
### **5. Automate Balance Updates**
1. **Listen for Blockchain Events**: You can either use event listeners in Web3.js or periodically poll the blockchain for new transactions.
2. **Update MLM User Balance**: When a deposit is confirmed, update the user’s balance in your MLM system.
For example, after verifying a transaction, you can store the user’s deposit in your MLM database and update their balance.
---
### **6. Testing and Security**
- **Test on Testnet**: Before going live, deploy and test your smart contract on the Ethereum testnet (e.g., Rinkeby, Goerli).
- **Use HTTPS**: Ensure that your website is running over HTTPS for security.
- **Gas Fees**: Users need to pay gas fees for sending transactions, so make sure to inform them.
---
### **Summary of Steps:**
1. **Frontend (JavaScript)**: Connect MetaMask, request account access, and send transactions for deposits.
2. **Smart Contract**: Write and deploy a Solidity smart contract that accepts deposits and records them.
3. **Backend (PHP)**: Verify transaction success and update user balances using Ethereum API calls (via Infura or similar services).
To connect MetaMask to a local or production blockchain using **Web3.js**, you can follow these steps. Below is a detailed guide on how to set up the connection between your dApp and MetaMask using **Web3.js**.
### **Step 1: Install Web3.js**
To use Web3.js, you need to include the library in your HTML. You can either use a CDN (for quick setup) or install it via npm if you're using a build system like Node.js.
#### **Using CDN:**
Add the following script tag to your HTML file to include Web3.js via a CDN:
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/web3/dist/web3.min.js"></script>
```
---
### **Step 2: Basic HTML Page with MetaMask Connection**
Create an HTML file with the code that connects to MetaMask via Web3.js.
#### **Sample `index.html` Code:**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>MetaMask Web3.js Integration</title>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/web3/dist/web3.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Connect MetaMask with Web3.js</h1>
<!-- Button to connect MetaMask -->
<button id="connectButton">Connect MetaMask</button>
<!-- Show wallet address -->
<p id="walletAddress">Not connected</p>
<!-- Input field for sending transactions -->
<input type="text" id="amount" placeholder="Amount (in ETH)">
<button id="sendTransaction">Send Transaction</button>
<p id="transactionResult"></p>
<script>
// Check if MetaMask is installed
if (typeof window.ethereum !== 'undefined') {
console.log('MetaMask is installed!');
} else {
alert('Please install MetaMask!');
}
// Web3.js Initialization
let web3;
if (typeof window.ethereum !== 'undefined') {
web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
} else {
web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.HttpProvider("http://127.0.0.1:8545")); // Fallback for local Ganache
}
// Connect MetaMask
document.getElementById('connectButton').addEventListener('click', async () => {
try {
// Request account access
await ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' });
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
document.getElementById('walletAddress').innerText = `Connected Wallet: ${accounts[0]}`;
} catch (error) {
console.error('User denied account access', error);
}
});
// Send Transaction
document.getElementById('sendTransaction').addEventListener('click', async () => {
const amount = document.getElementById('amount').value;
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
const fromAccount = accounts[0];
// Send transaction using MetaMask
web3.eth.sendTransaction({
from: fromAccount,
to: '0xYourRecipientAddressHere', // Replace with your recipient address
value: web3.utils.toWei(amount, 'ether')
}, (err, transactionHash) => {
if (err) {
document.getElementById('transactionResult').innerText = `Transaction failed: ${err.message}`;
} else {
document.getElementById('transactionResult').innerText = `Transaction successful: ${transactionHash}`;
}
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
### **Explanation of the Code:**
1. **Detecting MetaMask**: The code checks if MetaMask is installed using `window.ethereum`.
2. **Web3 Initialization**: If MetaMask is detected, Web3 is initialized using `window.ethereum`. Otherwise, you can fall back to a local blockchain provider like Ganache.
3. **Connect MetaMask**: When the user clicks the "Connect MetaMask" button, MetaMask requests account access. Once access is granted, the user's wallet address is displayed.
4. **Send Transaction**: The user can input an amount of Ether, and when they click "Send Transaction," it sends a transaction to a recipient address (you need to specify the recipient).
---
### **Step 3: Set Up Ganache (Local Blockchain for Testing)**
To test this locally, you can use **Ganache**, which simulates an Ethereum blockchain.
1. **Install Ganache** from [here](https://trufflesuite.com/ganache/).
2. **Start Ganache**: Either use the desktop app or the CLI version (`ganache-cli`).
- By default, Ganache will run on `http://127.0.0.1:8545`.
- Ganache will provide several Ethereum accounts preloaded with Ether for testing.
3. **Add Local Network to MetaMask**:
- Open MetaMask, click the network dropdown, and select **Custom RPC**.
- Add the following details:
- **Network Name**: Localhost 8545
- **New RPC URL**: `http://127.0.0.1:8545`
- **Chain ID**: `1337` (this is Ganache's default chain ID)
- **Currency Symbol**: ETH
- Now, MetaMask is connected to your local blockchain.
---
### **Step 4: Test the Integration**
1. **Run your local server** (e.g., using XAMPP or another local development environment).
2. **Open the HTML file** (`index.html`) in your browser.
3. **Connect MetaMask**: Click "Connect MetaMask" to connect your wallet.
4. **Send Transaction**: Enter an amount in ETH and click "Send Transaction." The transaction will be sent to the address specified in the code.
Once the transaction is sent, you can verify it by checking Ganache (if using a local blockchain) or on etherscan.io (if using a testnet or mainnet).
---
### **Notes:**
- **MetaMask Permissions**: Every time you request access to the user's MetaMask account, they must approve the connection.
- **Local vs. Mainnet**: This example uses Ganache (a local Ethereum blockchain) for testing, but the code can be easily adapted for the Ethereum mainnet or testnets like Rinkeby or Goerli.
- **Transaction Fees**: On the mainnet, users will pay gas fees to process transactions. On Ganache, this isn't an issue because it uses test Ether.
