This is all I need done:

A simple checkout php page, one in which connects to the photo-graffix gallery script: http://www.photo-graffix.com'

Here's a break down of functionality:

1. Load Gallery
2. In the Description area of any given image is a descript. and a buy link.
3. Click the buy link which opens the checkout.php
4. Checkout.php page contains:

* Form where they fill in shipping info. Name, Address, City, State etc..
* Name of the item they clicked on
* Description of the item they clicked on

Also, a way to save what they added to the checkout page so they could go back to the gallery to order more if they wanted and keep the other items previously added to their 'cart' or session.

The checkout php needs to be printed and faxed back to me for processing.

Hope that helps.

urm.....urm.....??!?

did you read my post?

If they are "online" to view your website, to see your products...they are, er, well, online?! they have to download your php form that has all the details to order offline.
I am sure you have very good reason for requiring to provide an offline payment method, although there are very few instances when an "online" website will provide an "offline" payment method, otherwise you might as well open a physical shop

btw, when you use uppercase, it is as though you are shouting...HOWEVER YOU LOOK AT IT!

GOOD LUCK!

My point here is to have an OFFLINE PAYMENT method. Paypal is an online payment method, NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU LOOK AT IT.

I was NOT Screaming at you, I was just making a point, note there's no exclamation point at the end of the CAPS Statement.

Also, I am using paypal already as an online payment method. This is particually for an offline payment method.

That's where the checkout.php form comes into play. Hope that clairifies the situation for you.

You may be aware, but just incase you are not..
Paypal's checkout system offers many ways of payments

Quote: Accept all major debit cards, credit cards and bank transfers

For phone orders, fax orders and orders by post with Virtual Terminal

The virtual terminal comes included with the 'pro' paypal checkout package, and you apply for one with the standard package
the pro is £20 per month, the standard is free to use, but as with all their packages, there is a percentage charge per transaction
the highest being 3.4% (some 1.4%)

The pro package also lets your customer checkout back at a specified url at your website
the others checkout at paypal website
Personally, all my dealings with paypal have been 100%. Telephone assistance very helpful, and they assist you with putting the required code on your website
The other good thing of using paypal, is many people know of it and know it's trusted. So when they see your "CHECKOUT" button or link and see the paypal logo they should feel secure in processing their order.

Good luck

You are entirely proving what I'm telling you... "echo $name = $whatever" is incorrect. $var = $something_else results in $var storing the value of $something_else. echo $var prints the contents of $var... so why are you "echo $var = $something_else"-ing?

The simple way to do what you want is to have the main page be /whatever.php, and then all links go to /whatever.php?some_var=value

So to "figure out what's been clicked", a link could be "

Don't take this the wrong way, but I understand what you mean with the

<?php
 and 
?>

(php open and close tags)...I might have missed one somewhere in the code, but that's not where things are going wrong right now...All I am trying to do at this point is to produce what has been clicked on (from the gallery) in a table below the checkout form that I currently have posted, this way it appears like a shopping cart where the person knows what they have in it.

My knowledge in this area is only capable of knowing that if I were to add this into a table below the checkout form:

<?php echo $name = $_GET['photoname']; ?>'

It would produce the name of the image clicked on from the gallery, but how would the code need to be if a different image from the gallery were to be clicked on and I wanted it to appear right under the first if each image can't have it's own variable like photoname2, photoname3 etc..?

Here's the code that I have working up to what I stated above:

<?php

    //  Start  a  session.
    session_start();
    //  Grab  information  from  URL.
    $name = $_GET['photoname'];
    $desc = $_GET['description'];
    
    //  If  this  is  the  first  time  viewing  page  make  the  cart  session  var  an  array.
    if (!$_SESSION['cart'])
    {
      $_SESSION['cart'] = array();
    }
    
    //  Transfer  array.
    $arrayCART = $_SESSION['cart'];
    
    //  Add  tiems  to  the  item  array.
    $arrayITEM['NAME'] = $name;
    $arrayITEM['DESC'] = $desc;
    
    // If they have submited a form they arnt going to need to add another item so we wont.
    if (!$_POST['submit'])
    {
      //  Put  informtion  into  the  cart.
      array_push($arrayCART, $arrayITEM);
    
    
      //  Store  the  cart  back  in  the  session.
      $_SESSION['cart'] = $arrayCART;
    }
    
    // DISPLAYS BEFORE ORDER INFORMATION //
    echo '<table  border=\'0\'>' . "\n";

Brian,

You have 10 posts. You will find that, after you've been here long enough (despite having been a member since 2004... how does that work out?), that people share information here. I wasn't telling you to be personal, I was explaining why I didn't follow through on what I said I would. I thought that you, like most of the members here, would appreciate being treated as a human being, and not just randomly ignored without explanation.

Now, for your code....

Like I said before, things within HTML need to be like:

<?php echo $name = $_GET['photoname']; ?>

'
instead of

echo $name = $_GET['photoname'];

Within your PHP code...

<?php
$name = $_GET['photoname'];
?>

should be

<?php
$name = strip_tags($_GET['photoname']);
?>

...actually before I go any further, let's do this:
-make the changes I've referenced
-go through ALL of your code and make sure you're doing things properly. strip_tags() is your friend for $_POST and $_GET items. Arrays should be declared. You should check your sessions with a ...little... more security.

You are doing very basic things either wrong, or in a method that is not suggested. More times than not, if you clean up your code and follow the requirements... you may find the problem you're looking for.

Comb through your code, and repost it. After that, it should be relatively simple to find the one mistake that matters, and not all the other little ones that are distracting.

You didn't have to take it the wrong way, I just wanted to know if you had a look at the code, assuming it's as bad as you say it is...As far as you having a bad day, you should keep that personal and not share it with the rest of the community, that only makes you look bad. I only wanted to know if you looked at the code. sheesh! I have bad days too, but you don't see me posting comments like that.
