Where to add affiliate code to paypal payment code
Hola!
I have a query re my paypal processing code. I used to use simple buttons to push the info to paypal, paypal the returned the info to ipn.php which was a cURL script posting to two seperate ipn's, the payment system and the affiliate system.
All the affiliate system needs is to track is this
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="<?PHP echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>">
this tracks the affiliate url the client was sent from, i.e. www.mysite.com/23453
I dont want to delve into the realms of the affilaite software as its way too complex, suffice to say all it needs is the variable above posting to it via ipn.
The problem I have is that I no longer use a standard button, I use a final payment page which calls upon 2 config files containing what would generally be a button and the posts it to paypal.
I don't know where to include the <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="<?PHP echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>">
I've attached the code, I;m sure its something easy but I;m a little lost.
AddPickFinal is the final payment page where the code commences
Process is the next page the user is sent to which collects configinc and globslconfig and the autoredirects to paypal

Hi, Matt. Having an expert is usually a good plan! Reminds me of the old joke about the engineer who pushed a button and charged the client $1,000. When asked for an itemized bill, he replied:
Pushing button: $1.
Knowing which button to push: $999.
Pushing button: $1.
Knowing which button to push: $999.

Many thanks for your input. It think I need to hire a developer as there are about 3 things I need doing and none of which I seem to be able to sort myself!
Cheers,
Matt
