Payapal pass-through variables
Hi
I'm trying to use pass-through variables with paypal - the variables 'item_number' and 'custom'.
this is my paypal form:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top" id="foo">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="XXXXXXXXXXXX">
<Input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="<%=idnum%>"/>
<Input type="hidden" name="custom" value="<%=gender%>"/>
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/he_IL/IL/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/he_IL/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
it seems that the transaction is going OK, but when I do:
<%=request("custom")%>
<%=request("item_number")% >
either at my success.asp page or cancel.asp page - I don't get any values.
What am I doing wrong?
