Good evening.
I've set up my shopping cart using PHP and my own database on my site http://www.calypsoshoefetish.com/
When it gets time to send the money I've got the form set up as this so that it will calculate and pass the total amount owed:
<form action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' method='post'><span class='style9'><p>Thank you for your purchase. You will be safely transferred to PayPal to make the payment.</p><p>If you are not transferred within 10 seconds, please click this button. </p>
<input type='hidden' name='cmd' value='_xclick'>
<input type='hidden' name='item_name' value='Calypso Shoes'>
<input type='hidden' name='rm' value='2'>
<input type='hidden' name='no_shipping' value='1'>
<input type='hidden' name='no_note' value='1'>
<input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='USD'>
<input type='hidden' name='tax' value='0.00'>
<input type='hidden' name='lc' value='US'>
<input type='hidden' name='amount' value='$totalcost'>
<input type='hidden' name='bn' value='PP-BuyNowBF'><input type='image' src='https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif' border='0' name='submit' alt='Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!'>
<img alt='' border='0' src='https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif' width='1' height='1'></form>
This isnt working for some reason. Do I need to do anything else to the account to make this work, or am I missing something important in the form?
Please help.
