PHP Order Form

[AnalyticalAda]

I am attempting to create an order form for my school's website. While I have some experience with HTML and CSS, PHP is a not something that I've played with much before. What I would like to do is use this order form code:

but I would like to integrate that code with this:

so that the order placed will actually be stored in a database or emailed. Anyone able to help? Know of a solution to this problem that already exists? Know of a company that will do this for me for a small one-time fee?

 

Thanks!

if you are willing to pay for it, post in the freelance section and one of the more than capable people here will do it for you in a snap.  If you want to learn then you will need to ask some more specific questions.

What you are asking for is fairly involved to build.  You basically need a simple shopping cart and paypal IPN integration.  Here is a tutorial for the shopping cart http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0A34371AA1BE4FEF and one for the paypal IPN http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC121B382EC5F372C

The paypal specific code in the IPN tutorial is old paypal code that no longer works for them, I answered another post on here about that http://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/280248-paypal-ipn-doesnt-update-database/

You'll need to combine the 2 tutorials to make the kind of system you need.

Thank you both for your responses. I've tried a few shopping carts like PrestaShop and Zen Cart, but they don't really do what I want them to. I would like a simple order form in which the user inputs the quantity of each item they would like to purchase (this is a lunch order form), the total goes to PayPal, IPN tells my site that the user has paid, and my site emails me the order. The first link I posted is so close to what I need, except that it simply sends the total to PayPal, without providing a way for me to see what the user has actually ordered.
