adding paypal to existing cgi script
Hi
I have an existing shopping cart on my site. I would like to add Paypal as an option for payment. Right now the choices for payment are credit card on line, credit card through fax and cheque by mail. I would like to subsitute both credit card options with the paypal option but keep the cheque by mail.
I know this is a very vague question but is there a sub that I can add to my existing cgi script? This is an older Webgenie script by the way and I don't want to spend anymore money on buying a new cart.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
hummer

Hi cjmos
Thanks for the redirect....however...I must admit I am a know just enought to be dangerous.....so although I understand some of this....I am still not sure how to implement it into the shopping cart script.

okay
well I am a step closer and actually have figured out how to add the paypal code to my existing cgi script....the code is as follows
$i = 0; # Just a number to define form elements
foreach $item (@items)
{
if ($item)
{
if ($item =~ /,/)
{
$i++;
@components = split (/,/, "$item");
$qty = @components[1];
$price = @components[2];
$product = @components[3];
$catNo = @components[4];
$weight = @components[5]*$qty;
$totWeight += $weight;
$tot = $qty*$price;
$gtot += $tot;
$tot = &Monify ($tot);
$price = &Monify ($price);
print "<input type=hidden name=item_name_1 value=\"$product\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=item_number_1 value=\"$catNo\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=amount_1 value=\"$price\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=quantity_1 value=\"$qty\">\n";
}
}
}
print "<input type=image src=\"http://images.paypal.com/images/x-clickbut01.gif\" name=submit alt=\"Make payments with PayPal - it?s fast,free and secure\">\n";
print "</form>\n";
the problem is only the 1st item is being passed to paypal....I need to increment the name values....for example
item_number_1, item_number_2, item_number_3 etc....for eachof the names in the form inputs.....

hummerrecord, the $i variable is used to increment item_numer for each item. Replace your code with.
$i = 0; # Just a number to define form elements
foreach $item (@items)
{
if ($item)
{
if ($item =~ /,/)
{
$i++;
@components = split (/,/, "$item");
$qty = @components[1];
$price = @components[2];
$product = @components[3];
$catNo = @components[4];
$weight = @components[5]*$qty;
$totWeight += $weight;
$tot = $qty*$price;
$gtot += $tot;
$tot = &Monify ($tot);
$price = &Monify ($price);
print "<input type=hidden name=item_name_$i value=\"$product\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=item_number_$i value=\"$catNo\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=amount_$i value=\"$price\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=quantity_$i value=\"$qty\">\n";
}
}
}
print "<input type=image src=\"http://images.paypal.com/images/x-clickbut01.gif\" name=submit alt=\"Make payments with PayPal - it?s fast,free and secure\">\n";
print "</form>\n";

notice the use of $i int the lines
print "<input type=hidden name=item_name_$i value=\"$product\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=item_number_$i value=\"$catNo\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=amount_$i value=\"$price\">\n";
print "<input type=hidden name=quantity_$i value=\"$qty\">\n";
