a question for Jon Lebensold regarding the paypal form

[derrida]

Hi

first of all i want to thank you for a great video series. i only start to check oop and you made me understand some features i did not understood in any other way. in addition a lot of best practices and clear explanations.

 

i went to paypal and created all the accounts and went to make the buy now button. they change there a lot of things so i tried my best, and made the form. but when i tried to send them the values from the cart the paypal still show the static values i entered when making the form and button.

 

the form i got is this (there is no business hidden field there and i could not see how to make it work):

 

 

another question i`m not sure if you are the right person to ask: can i use paypal for a site that is not in the USA or UK?

 

best regards

I have the same issue. Would you mind pasting the form code you used or a link to the pdf.

 

Thanks.

Here's the code I used to make it work with a full cart of items.

 

Function called:

function render_paypal_checkout(ShoppingCart $shopping_cart)
{
return " 







   ".render_shopping_cart($shopping_cart)."





";
}
