Hello
I have a little problem that I am hoping someone can help me out with
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have build a form where a person can enter their information plus that form will have an autogenerated number in one of the fields (inside the database), then when they hit the submit button I want the information to be entered into the database and then move another another page.
On the second page I would like to have the autogenerated number displayed, this way when the person is going to make a paypal payment it will show who it belongs to, this page will also have a paypal button to allow them to make a payment.
Once the payment is made the owner will receive an email stating that such and such a person with this autogenerated number made a payment.
The owner then can look up the persons information in the database and mark it as "paid"
My problem is that I dont know how to setup the form so it will enter the information into the database and automatically on the next page populate the auto generated number.
I am not sure if this is the best way to go about it or if I should consider using one of the shopping cards:
osCommerce, ZenCart, Agora Cart, CubeCart, ShopSite.
I want to make sure that the shopping card is free and it supports paypal.
Thank you very much for any kind of help
Mark
