PayPal amount not populating correctly

I have a form that calculates a travel deposit based on the number of individuals being registered. It uses this code on the "On Submit" action to make the calculation and store it to a hidden field on the form named 'dep_amt':

<?php
$form->data['dep_amt'] = 0;
$first = $form->data['first_fname'];
$second = $form->data['second_fname'];
$third = $form->data['third_fname'];
$fourth = $form->data['fourth_fname'];
if ($first) {$number = 1;};
if ($second) {$number = $number + 1;};
if ($third) {$number = $number + 1;};
if ($fourth) {$number = $number + 1;};
$deps_amt = 100;
$deposit = $deps_amt * $number;
$form->data['dep_amt'] = $deposit;
?>

When I add an "echo" to display the value of the deposit, it shows the correct amount. However, when I go to pass it off to PayPal, the amount shown does not match, varying between $400 - $1000. Any idea why???

It's SO weird!

Thanks!

Hi Rick,

Are you using one of the Payment Gateway Trial actions? Please see this FAQ

Geez, I am!! I didn't even realize it said "Trial". I would have thought they would be included with an Unlimited subscription! :wink:

Thanks for the help!!!!!

Hi Rick,

You can always ask . . .

Wouldn't dream of it! This stuff is too good, and I want Max to keep developing it!!!

I just paid for the plugin - just have to wait for the download to be made available.

Thanks, as always, Bob!

Got the plugin, and now it is passing the correct amount. Thanks! 😀
