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.

Re: Custom generated PayPal Button

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

Re: Custom generated PayPal Button

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.

Re: Custom generated PayPal Button

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

Re: Custom generated PayPal Button

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

Re: Custom generated PayPal Button

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

Re: Custom generated PayPal Button

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

Re: Custom generated PayPal Button

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 :

<?
if ($amount != 0){
?> 
<form action="[URL]https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr[/URL]" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[EMAIL="you@yoursite.com"]you@yoursite.com[/EMAIL]">
<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="[URL]http://www.yoursite.com/returnpage.php[/URL]">
<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="[URL]https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but02.gif[/URL]" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make your payments with PayPal. It is free, secure, effective.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="[URL]https://www.paypal.com/it_IT/i/scr/pixel.gif[/URL]" 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.

Re: Custom generated PayPal Button

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
