rgdirect Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm setting up a registration form on a site that collects users information and then is processed on an off site payment merchant. The only problem is on the original form I'm collecting alot of information for myself that the merchant doesn't require, and I would like this information to email to me and then allow users to make the payment for the courses they have selected on the merchant site. I know this is possible i just don't know where to start, I don't really have a lot of php experience.

waynew Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Save what the user has chosen in your DB, using their session_id() as an index key. That way, when the merchant site sends them back to your site, you can figure out what they had chosen. What merchant site are you using? Usually most of them offer something along the lines of PayPal IPN.

Usually most of them offer something along the lines of PayPal IPN. Thanks for your input, I'm using internetsecure.com. I'm really starting at square one I know almost nothing when it comes to php and I've never made a form that sends information to a database. Is there an easy way that I can create a form that uses a another php file that emails me the content (like a normal contact form) but also forwards the required information to my merchant? The only information that I need to pass to the Merchant is which courses the users are signing up for which is currently just a list of checkboxs items.
