Paypal Button Creation
Necuima replied to Necuima's topic in Effortless E-Commerce with PHP and MySQL (2nd Edition)
This is now in production. I've attached the code for anyone else who might be in a similar situation. if ($local) { // development echo <<<DD1 <!-- DEVELOPMENT TEST!!!--> <div class="paypal_box"> <!-- right-shifts the div --> <!-- first the PayPal Logo - see: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/logo-center --> <img class="PP_logo" src="./images/PP_logo.jpg" alt="PayPal Logo"> <form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="xxx@yyy.com.au"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Selected Items"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="$total"> <input type="hidden" name="handling" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="AUD"> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="AU"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="image" src="./images/PayPal_Button.jpg" alt="Submit" width="100"> <!-- the submit button --> </form> </div> <!-- end paypal_box class div --> <br /><br /> DD1; } // end development else { // production - see: https://cvconnect.commercevision.com.au/display/KB/PayPal+Payments echo <<<DD2 <!-- PRODUCTION!!!--> <div class="paypal_box"> <!-- right-shifts the div --> <!-- first the PayPal Logo - see: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/logo-center --> <img class="PP_logo" src="./images/PP_logo.jpg" alt="PayPal Logo"> <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="xxx@yyy.com.au"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Selected Items"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="$total"> <input type="hidden" name="handling" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="AUD"> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="AU"> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="https://xxx/index.php?p=thanks_3"> <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="https://xxx/index.php?p=cancel_3"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="image" src="./images/PayPal_Button.jpg" alt="Submit" width="100"> <!-- the submit button --> </form> </div> <!-- end paypal_box class div --> <br /><br /> DD2; } // end production You will recognise the "$local" from one of your other books 🙂 As an aside, when obtaining guidance from your E-Commerce book, I used PDO for all database activities and that has worked fine. All the best, Necuima -

I got there in the end after going down many 'blind alleys'. <form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_blank"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"> <!-- <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> --> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="xxxx@yyyy.com.au"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Item Description"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="$total"> <input type="hidden" name="handling" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="AUD"> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="AU"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="image" src="./images/PayPal_Button.jpg" alt="Submit" width="100"> <!-- the submit button --> </form> Cheers from Oz. -
Paypal Button Creation
Necuima replied to Necuima's topic in Effortless E-Commerce with PHP and MySQL (2nd Edition)
Hi Larry, From SO the second code should not have the HTML form tags so I removed them but it still does not work. I have also tried that code just in a simple HTML script but still no access to PP. I would prefer to use the first script as at least it got me to PayPal if only I could find a way to set the currency to Australian dollars! This must be a common thing to do - have a shopping cart in your PHP code and then just interface to PayPal with a single amount to process the financial transaction. I have done similar with Stripe and that works fine but, as mentioned, the website owner insists on PP. I look forward to your advice and thank you in anticipation. -

Hi Larry, Found some more code which displays the button nicely but even though the yellow PayPal bar shows the link/hand icon it goes nowhere. I do have a developer id etc but don't know where to paste it. <form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_blank"> <div id="smart-button-container" style="width: 60%; margin-left: 21%;"> <div style="text-align: left"><label class="checkout_form_mt_right v_align_top" for="description">Item: </label><input type="text" name="descriptionInput" id="description" size="40" value="Selected Jane Welsh Works of Art"></div> <p id="descriptionError" style="visibility: hidden; color:red; text-align: center;">Please enter a description</p> <div style="text-align: left"><label class="checkout_form_mt_right v_align_top" for="amount">Amount: </label><input name="amountInput" type="string" id="amount" value="$total"><span> AUD</span><span class='v_align_top white_text'><small><i> Australian dollars</i></small></span></div> <p id="priceLabelError" style="visibility: hidden; color:red; text-align: center;">Please enter a price</p> <div id="invoiceidDiv" style="text-align: center; display: none;"><label for="invoiceid"> </label><input name="invoiceid" maxlength="127" type="text" id="invoiceid" value="" ></div> <p id="invoiceidError" style="visibility: hidden; color:red; text-align: center;">Please enter an Invoice ID</p> <div style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0.625rem;" id="paypal-button-container"></div> </div> <!-- </form> --> I tried it with and without the closing form tag. There's also a heap of JavaScript which comes with this example from PayPal which I have not touched nor included here. Again, any advice will be most appreciated. -
Hi Larry, I am following your design in part 3 of the book to create a cart which is all fine - great guidance! But the website owner insists that the payment will be via PayPal (PP). I have looked at part 2 where you use PayPal but with fixed amounts. I am trying to create a button/link to PP for a variable amount and in Australian dollars. The code works fine as long as I do not try to change the currency. I also need to add 'thankyou' and 'cancel' links back to the website but I can't seem to do that either. I have Googled for hours without finding the solution. <!-- now the button --> <form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_blank"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="xxxx@yyyy.com.au"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Item Description"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="$total"> <input type="hidden" name="handling" value="0.00"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00"> <!-- <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="AUD"> --> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="AU"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_AU/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_AU/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> </form> You can see that I have commented the currency out - with it 'in' I get an error from PP. Any guidance will be much appreciated. Best regards from Oz :-)

Hi Nootkan, The issue that I am trying to help you with is the definition of the PHP variables whose names start with $color_ For example, unless $_POST['color'] == 'red') is true, the PHP variable $color_red will not get set. But you try and use it in the print statement whether it is defined or not. But you are better off following Larry's guidance and set just one $color variable. Cheers

So glad that you got it to work for you. As mentioned, it has always worked flawlessly for me, both in my development environment and in production. Best wishes, Necuima
