Depending on your form, the script has to be adapted. Have a look at this example: http://www.dbtechnosystems.com/Tips/radio_payment.php

If you like it, contact me and i will send you the file.

Hi Navaldesign,

I did fillout your form, iyour reply form is very nice,how did you make in table format. Thanks and I'll be happy if you can share it.

This is a bit complicated. It requires sending html email and hardcoding the mail content. I do that on a professional basis.

Thanks a lot with code you sent though but have a fe problem, I cant go through my paypal account it always say incorect formatted amount item. I tried everything that I know but still do the same, maybe I missing sonething on the HTML I'm not sure. Kindly take a look again on your spare time pls.

for my prevous question: Yes, I agree with that it is a complicated one and I noticed also the one that you created on the payment.php is a hardcoded amount. I hope will learn more as I am venturing myself in website development.

I really appreciate your willingness to help.

Hi

check your paypal button code. Also, you could change he settings in the form so that the radio buttons start from 1 instead of 0 . This way it will NOT default to the first choice as it does now. In that case make the first radio NOT selected

Hi Navaldesign,

I finally finished my form, just a few error on the quotation part o the html, you are an angel in finishing this portion of the website.

Thank you very much.

My turn to ask for help with this button. Can you look at www.vacations-afloat.com/payments.html and tell me where i am going wrong. I can't figure out how to make the initial value work without displaying their values.

Thanks for your anticipated help

You have published the page as html. Please read the instructions, you need to publish it as php

Mdpeters · #42 08-12-2007, 08:40 AM

Thanks for that, the mistake was in the menu buttons which were pointing at an .html page and not the .php one.

Next question, we sell vactaions and therefore each transaction is a different value, hence the need for your custom button. We also sell in 3 currencies, US Dollars, British Pounds and Euros, can I add the ability to select currency to the cutom buton? If so how do i do tis?

Many thanks
Michael

You can add in the form ALL the parameters of the PayPal button: amount, item descriptin, item nr., amount, currency, etc. The code has to be changed acordingly, and the form fields must reflect the code elements. So, change the button code to :

Code:

<?
if ($amount != 0){
?> 
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="you@yoursite.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="="<? echo $_POST['item_name']; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="="<? echo $_POST['amount']'; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.yoursite.com/returnpage.php">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="<? echo $_POST['currency'];?> ">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but02.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make your payments with PayPal. It is free, secure, effective.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/it_IT/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
<?
}
?>

and include, in the form, a drop down with the thre values : USD, GBP, EUR for the three currencies you need.

I am obviously being very stupid about this i now get an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/xdqsufol/public_html/payments.php on line 280
Might be easier if i paid you to do this for us

navaldesign · #45 08-14-2007, 04:38 PM

Hi,

this is entirely up to you. If you wish you can contact me privately.

However, you are correct, and i shall place the correct warning in my initial post.

Thanks.

You know my opinion on paid for downloads: no links, no risk. The thank you page (in my opinion) MUST have a payment verification script.

Fair enough, but im wondering what the code-lines would be then for a single item download so there's no messing around with amount, just "yes I want to download that file"
