Paypal Description and Amount Empty No mater what I Do

jm1968a 08 Feb, 2015

I cannot get the PayPal fields to fill in.

Here is me custom action located before the PayPal redirect action.

<?php
$form->data['amount'] = 5.99;
$form->data['item'] = 1 x Send Glitter;
 ?>

Any Ideas - Ive spent a good 14 hours on this.

I added 2 hidden fields to my form:

<input name="amount" id="amount" value="5.99" type="hidden" class="form-control A" /><input name="item" id="item" value="1 x Send Glitter" type="hidden" class="form-control A" />

Hi jm1968a,

In PHP strings need to have quotes around them - if they aren't there your PHP is ignored or shows an error message. Please try

<?php
$form->data['amount'] = 5.99;
$form->data['item'] = '1 x Send Glitter';
 ?>
