I'm a first-time php user trying to implement the php scripts that they offer as downloads at the authorize.net site. I've read the SIM Implementation Guide they also offer there a couple of times and tried to acquaint myself with basic syntax,etc.,by poring over a couple of php manuals.
But I'm still kind of at sea about proper implementation protocols.
All I want to do is help my web client avoid having to pay for a shopping cart and use those SIM scripts to sell multiple items (7 or 8). Hopefully her checkout process can allow for her customers to pay for several items at once. But if necessary she's willing to settle for a process which has her customers to submitting each transaction individually.
Here is the whole sim.php page I've built her which amounts, as you can see, to an Order Confirmation form with multiple fields and a submit button to authorize.net's payment gateway. Any helplful comments would be very appreciated! I've definitely got a lot to learn, here!
The code for that page is as follows:
<!--
