Editing Paypal Value using php

[DanielHardy]

Hi All,

 

My first post here for a while.

 

I have created a cms so to speak. It uses a simple login system and ajax so that an admin can edit the text on the page, this then updates a html file that stores the text, and the actual page simply echos the html text.

 

If you navigate to:

 

http://moroccannatural.com/rhassoul.php

 

You will see that the £7.50 price at the bottom is editable.

 

When this is edited, I of course need it to update the amount value in the paypal form.

 

The form is here:

 

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" style="float:left;padding-left:15px;">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Rhassoul Clay 200g">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="7.50">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
<input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="products">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF:btn_cart_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest">

<input type="image" style="outline:none;"  src="cart.jpg" name="submit2"  onmouseover="javascript:this.src='cart2.jpg';" onmouseout="javascript:this.src='cart.jpg';"> 
</form>

 

Here is the php that I think you will need to help :

 

<?php

$codeToBeEdited5 = file_get_contents('text5.html');	


$idName5 = 'desc5'; 



require_once('AjaxEditInPlace.inc.php');

$ajaxEditInPlace = new AjaxEditInPlace($codeToBeEdited5, 'showText');
echo $ajaxEditInPlace->getEditInPlaceCode($idName5);



?>

 

 

I have tried lots of things such as

 

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?php echo $idName5 ?> ">

 

Please help me!

 

Thanks

 

Dan

This is a javascript problem not a php problem if you are achieving this without a page refresh

 

You will need to use the getElementByName('amount').value and set the value accordingly with javascript when your ajax completes the change

[DanielHardy]

Could you possibly expand your reply a little for me?

 

I am struggling to follow it being a relative javascript novice

 

Thanks in advance

I'm not really sure I can. You just need to use javascript to change the value when the ajax request completes successfully to the value in that field. It's basic javascript really, and if you haven't got this knowledge you shouldn't be touching ajax so soon

[DanielHardy]

Much simpler solution was to simply use:

 

echo $codeToBeEdited5;

 

There is a problem in that you have to refresh the page before the changes take effect, but this isn't a problem as this is an admin section, so when you log out, the changes will have taken efect.

 

Thanks for your help
