[RESOLVED] Multiple Form Options & Post Values

StevenJ

Hi,

I wish to have radio buttons for the following products. I will display a picture, and then the purchaser can select what size of the image they wish. The following form information that is posted to paypal is:

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="6X4" />
6 X 4 &nbsp; &pound; <?php echo $row_main_image['price_1'];  ?> <br />
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="10X8" />
10 X 8 &nbsp; &pound; <?php echo $row_main_image['price_2'];  ?> <br />
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="12X10" />
12 X 10 &nbsp; &pound;<?php echo $row_main_image['price_3'];  ?>
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="webassist.dreamweaver.4_0_3">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="example@example.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Item Name">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="<?php echo $row_main_image['description'];  ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?php echo $row_main_image['price_1'];  ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://sucess.html">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://cancel.html">
<input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="my@emailhere.com">
<input type="hidden" name="mrb" value="R-3WH47588B4505740X">
<input type="hidden" name="pal" value="ANNSXSLJLYR2A">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
<br />
<input type="image" name="submit" src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-but22.gif" border="0" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>

How can I best get it to recognise which radio button is selected? becuase once the form is posted, the values are sent? How would I best go about this?

Houdini

echo $_POST['radiobutton'];

I am not sure I follow that ?

depending on which radiobutton is selected, depends on what I want the following to be, so i have changed the form:


<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="<?php echo  row_main_image['price_1']; ?>" />
6 X 4 &nbsp; &pound; <?php echo $row_main_image['price_1'];  ?> <br />
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="<?php echo $row_main_image['price_2']; ?>" />
10 X 8 &nbsp; &pound; <?php echo $row_main_image['price_2'];  ?> <br />
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="<?php echo $row_main_image['price_3']; ?>" />
12 X 10 &nbsp; &pound;<?php echo $row_main_image['price_3'];  ?>

this prodces output like:

<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="18.00" />

I then made the change

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?php echo $_POST['radiobutton'] ; ?>">

but when I post the form, I get the error message:

"The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount."

on paypal

Only one radio button may be selected so the value of any that are selected will be $_POST['radiobutton'];

Still not getting this.

I understand that once the "submit" button has been pressed, that $_POST['radiobutton']; will be equal to the 'value' of the radio button selected, but - once submit is pressed, it goes to the paypal page

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

but I need to get this value to be assigned to "amount" in paypal world..........

😕

StevenJ

doh! figured it out :o

changed this

<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="6X4" />
6 X 4 &nbsp; &pound; <?php echo $row_main_image['price_1'];  ?> 
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="10X8" />
10 X 8 &nbsp; &pound; <?php echo $row_main_image['price_2'];  ?> 
<input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="12X10" />
12 X 10 &nbsp; &pound;<?php echo $row_main_image['price_3'];  ?>
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?php echo $_POST['radiobutton'];  ?>">

<input name="amount" type="radio" value="<?php echo $row_main_image['price_1'];  ?>" />
<input name="amount" type="radio" value=" <?php echo $row_main_image['price_2'];  ?>" />
<input name="amount" type="radio" value=" <?php echo $row_main_image['price_3'];  ?>" />

daft how a simple problem can take me ages to solve :o
