Redirecting to Paypal with order details

[scooby1]

Hello

 

I am trying to redirect the user to paypal when then they press a button a new page runs.

 

 

$urlParams = array(
    'cmd' => '_cart',
    'upload' => 1,
    'charset' => 'utf-8',
    'business' => 'my_business_email@hotmail.com',
    'return' => 'http://www.mywebsite.com',
    'currency_code' => 'GBP',
    'amount_1' => $row['total'],
    'item_name_1' => $row['id'],

);

// Build the URL
$urlParams = http_build_query($urlParams, '', '&');
$url = 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';

header('location:' .$url. '?' . $urlParams);

 

All I am trying to do is send across the Total order price and the order number. It redirects fine to paypal, and all the information is correctly displayed in the address bar but paypal says "Error Detected - Your shopping cart is empty". Has anyone had this problem before?

 

Thanks for your help!

Don't worry guys after a bit of research I managed to do it like this.....

 

header("Location:https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=myemailaddress%40hotmail.com&item_name="
. urlencode(www.mywebsite.com)
. "+Order&item_number=PROD" . $row['id']
."&amount=" . urlencode(sprintf('%.2f',
$row['total'])) . " &no_note=l&currency_code=GBP&lc=GB");

 

Thanks for looking anyway.
