Paypal cart button form as data in a mysql table

fepedron

Hi,

I have this code stored as data in a database table

</form>

I was wondering, can I place this data in an html document using php and have the form work?

Hope this question makes sense. I tried

$paypal_link =@MYSQL_RESULT($result,0,"paypal_link");

then

echo "$paypal_link";

but this doesnt work. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks

Yes, I've done this before with the exact same paypal form code.

What's not working?

Assuming that form is stored in a field called paypal_link:


$query = mysql_query("SELECT paypal_link FROM your_table WHERE id='$id'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);

echo $row["paypal_link"];

That should echo the html which in turn will be processed by the browser.

I don't know what's working, but depending on your settings, you may need to addslashes() when inputting into db and stripslashes() when pulling out. What db field type are you using?

I am using

varchar(255), but I figured out a way to go around this problem.

I just kept the code in the html document and placed the variables

$name for the "item name" and
$price for the "amount"

this way the html page is still a template with those two variables changing based on the items selected by the user. Here is the new code (Notice the <? echo "$price" ?>in the item_name input.

Thanks for all your help
