No. This will access the internet and is not an intranet setup. The computers we will be using are connected to the internet and are not setup as an intranet. What I am trying to tell you is that the only people that will be accessing this script are people given special access. The site is not found on google or any other search engine so if a hacker wanted to hack us, they would physically have to come to our school and get the URL to our SSL website. I'm saying that the chances of a hacker even wanting to hack us are literally 0.

I'm going to be completely honest with you. Your lack of knowledge and correct use of the English language really doesn't give off any sort of hint that you can do anything other than flame people on forums let alone "hack" a website as you would call it. I understand what you're saying (after intense interpretation of how you speak English, of course) and how it's not generally a way to go about doing a payment system on my site. You also have no knowledge of how my site is made and that my three employees who will be using this script are a) tenured employees at our school (which means they have been working for us for a great deal of years), and b) Have absolutely know knowledge of how to code a basic HTML website, let alone "hack" us.

Thank you all for your help and maturity. I appreciate it. I'm glad to see that all of you contribute respectfully to this forum.

Ok so since you obviously know how hackers go about doing this, how about you tell me how you would go about hacking this system.

Everything will be very secure and you can't access the page unless you have been accepted as one of our employees. So it's not as if a random hacker can come along and change some values to get money from us. On top of that, you can't modify anything unless you have access to our database and only one person knows the extensive password for our database and that's me. Plus everything will be encrypted with paypals encryption so that makes the chances of being hacked slim to none.

Yes, eventually we will move to the proper way to go about doing this, but for now we are testing out this system. Now, I would respect you more if we can have a decent conversation without you insulting my abilities as a programmer.

I think you're mis-interpreting what I'm saying and what point I'm trying to get across. This is for a new system I'm implementing and I would like to see that it's actually illegal for me to do what I want to do and that you're correct before I disregard any ideas I have.

Also, can you actually link me to the paypal TOS where it says I'm legally not allowed to do what I wanted to do before? I just looked through the TOS and didn't see anything like that in it.

What if I decide to make that button that "requests money" just post information into a database, then create a custom page on my admin page where I can review the payments and use a custom mass payment script that will pay them from that? Is that illegal? For instance, a co-worker has $500 owed to them, the click the "request money" button, all the data (like date, money, time requested, ect ect...) goes into the database, I review it on my admin page, and then if I deem it valid, I can use mass email to give them their money.

fuck

Hi thanks for the reply! The link looks promising but i'll be waiting for you so I can get a jump start on this! Thanks again -P

Hi! This is some interestingly formatted code... Have you tried using "echo" it will make your code much cleaner. Anyway, to me it looks like you have your form going to your page, but once it goes to the page, there's no if statement that will do the code you need!

Hmm Okay. Here's exactly what I'm trying to accomplish: I have an HTML form, a submit button, and a MySql database table with a money value that I will need to send to a co worker. On the co-workers page, I have a list of how much money I owe them and at the bottom a total amount of how much money I owe them. If they click the submit button on the form labeled "Request Payment", I need paypal to automatically send them a payment from my paypal. I already totaled up the individual payments into the final payment I will be sending them so all that's left now is to have that button contact paypal some how and send the payment to the co-workers paypal account. Thanks! -P

Hey thanks for the reply. Fortunately, I already know about the sandbox! What I'm looking for is a way to send payments via some sort of PHP script without me having to manually send them out! Thanks, -P

Hi, I have been looking online for about two hours now on how I can automatically send payments through paypal using php. What I have is a database of how much money I need to send to co-workers and send that amount automatically when the workers click "request money" button. Can this be done? Will paypal allow me to do that? If so, can someone please point me in the right direction to do it? Thanks in advance, -P
