In fact they do. If you try testing out and doing a pledge (not actually going through the full process if you don't want to) and you'll see that they go through Amazon. Even when you're making a pledge they have the Amazon Payment's logo at the bottom of the right menu. I'll look in to working and tweaking with the Amazon API.. hopefully it's not too painful.

Hey there guys. I have a site where a donate option is available and I want to go about it in a certain way. I'm using Amazons Payment system for accepting donations. Here's what I want to accomplish here. I have an input id box that lets the user type in the amount they wish to donate, then they submit the amount to the site. I need the form to pass the dollar amount entered to amazon so that once you log in through AmazonPayments the amount is already set and ready to go. A clear example of this is on www.kickstarter.com when you decide to "back a project" eg:(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamwparker/fall-a-heart-warming-animated-short-film/pledge/new?clicked_reward=false&logged_in=false&p=0&ref=spotlight&v=u ) and enter a pledge amount. I notice that their amount box has a name of "backing[amount]" and when you click the submit button I know this name is passed to the server with the amount entered.. for example, if I typed in $153 as my pledge and click submit it will appear as backing[amount]=153.0 as one of the parameters in the address bar. Once you continue to Amazon the value of 153.00 is already entered. Does anyone have any info on how they did this with their PHP script? i understand that it's basically an easy form call.. I'm just not sure how they made it talk to AmazonPayments and have there dollar value all entered and ready to go. Again, www.kickstarter.com is the prime example here as that is where I was inspired for this idea. Thanks for all the help.

Duuuh, how could I have forgotten! thanks for the help! I simply just included a piece of code with a div that had the background set to the image I was trying to use.. thanks a lot!

Ok I'm having an issue with a simple PHP Inlcude that I've never ran in to before. Maybe you guys can help. I'm trying to include a picture simply titled 'promo1.jpg'.. I go about the normal PHP include way with this code: <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/promo1.jpg'; ?> This proceeds to only output a question mark '?'. No error message. Nothing else. Just the server saying "What the hell?". I've tried not doing the DOCUMENT_ROOT route and tried more locally but still same '?'. Any ideas on this one? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
