Hi all, I've been away from PHP and web developing for the last 7 years. Now I'm designing my own website for my own company. There will be a 'kind of' payment page. Which will get basic information from a form and redirect the user to a safe payment site. I've been dying to figure out what I am doing wrong for the past 3 hours. I've asked unlce google every possible question I can think of for the right answer, but, alas, all is left to ask it in a forum, and just sit and hope... I've got this code : <? setlocale( LC_TIME, 'ru_RU.UTF-8', 'russian' ); $thisDay = strftime("%B %Y"); $private_key = "*************************"; $public_key = "i************"; $amount = $_POST["amount"]; $comments = $_POST["comments"]; $results = array( 'version' => 3, 'action' => 'pay', 'public_key' => $public_key, 'amount' => "500", (this works) 'currency' => 'UAH', 'description' => "test", (this works) 'type' => 'buy', 'language' => 'ru' ); $data = base64_encode(json_encode($results)); $signiture = base64_encode( sha1( $private_key . $data . $private_key, 1 ) ); ?> which then uses this form to pass the data to the site : <form method="POST" accept-charset="utf-8" action="https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" /> <input type="hidden" name="data" value="<? echo $data; ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="signature" value="<? echo $signiture; ?>" /> <input type="text" name="clientNo" style="width:30px;" /> <input type="text" name="clientName" style="width:300px;" /> <input name="amount" type="text" style="width:50px; text-align:center;" /> <input type="text" name="comments" style="width:300px; text-align:center;" /> <input type="image" src="images/payment-01.png" name="btn_text" /> </form> </div> this works well but the array I use is just the data I entered myself. I have to get the Amount and Description But when I change the php code to this it just does not get the data from the form : <? setlocale( LC_TIME, 'ru_RU.UTF-8', 'russian' ); $thisDay = strftime("%B %Y"); $private_key = "*************************"; $public_key = "i************"; $amount = $_POST["amount"]; $comments = $_POST["comments"]; $results = array( 'version' => 3, 'action' => 'pay', 'public_key' => $public_key, 'amount' => $amount, (this does not work) 'currency' => 'UAH', 'description' => $comments, (this does not work) 'type' => 'buy', 'language' => 'ru' ); $data = base64_encode(json_encode($results)); $signiture = base64_encode( sha1( $private_key . $data . $private_key, 1 ) ); ?> I am pretty sure that it is so simple that I look stupid. But.. I can not resolve this problem on my own.. I tried this : <? setlocale( LC_TIME, 'ru_RU.UTF-8', 'russian' ); $thisDay = strftime("%B %Y"); $private_key = "*************************"; $public_key = "i************"; if (isset($_POST["amount"])) / (this does not work) { $amount = $_POST["amount"]; $comments = $_POST["comments"]; $results = array( 'version' => 3, 'action' => 'pay', 'public_key' => $public_key, 'amount' => $amount, (this does not work) 'currency' => 'UAH', 'description' => $comments, (this does not work) 'type' => 'buy', 'language' => 'ru' ); $data = base64_encode(json_encode($results)); $signiture = base64_encode( sha1( $private_key . $data . $private_key, 1 ) ); } ?> Not working... Please help! Thanks in advance !!!
