Donations page

dessolator · February 4, 2008

Hi, I'm creating a reservations page where the user can select either a predefined ammount $25, $50... or a other ammount. I want the script to send out a email receipt before the user user gets transferred to the pre-configured paypal url but I was using headers to redirect it in the if statements but obviously it is saying headers already sent as there is something above it in the if statement, but when I use meta redirects paypal says that the url is messed up. I was wondering if there is any other way to do this as I'm not allowed to use a database?

Please find the code below:

Have you tried removing all header's and placing one at bottom of page on its own with the ammount variable in it?

dessolator · February 4, 2008

Hi, thanks for your reply. I have just tried it and is still giving me a "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\xampp\htdocs\donation\form_process.php:18) in D:\xampp\htdocs\donation\form_process.php on line 60" message.

I have just tried setting up another set of if statments and assigning a new variable in the top if statements and now its not giving me errors but isn't redirecting.

New code:

<?php
$name = substr($_POST['name'], 0, 65); 
$address = substr($_POST['address'], 0, 300);
$email = substr($_POST['email'], 0, 65);

$ammount = substr($_POST['ammount'], 0, 65); 
$otheramount = substr($_POST['otheramount'], 0, 65);
$receipt = substr($_POST['receipt'], 0, 65); 
$dontcall = substr($_POST['dontcall'], 0, 65);


if ($ammount == "25"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 25 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";

$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 == $ammount;
}

elseif ($ammount == "100"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 100 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";

take out the if statements and elseifs at the bottom and put $ammount1 into the url for paypal and then you can just have one header statement

dessolator · February 4, 2008

Hi, thanks for the reply. Just tried it and still getting the headers already sent message, must be because of the email headers.

<?php
$name = substr($_POST['name'], 0, 65); 
$address = substr($_POST['address'], 0, 300);
$email = substr($_POST['email'], 0, 65); 
$phone = substr($_POST['phone'], 0, 65);
$ammount = substr($_POST['ammount'], 0, 65); 
$otheramount = substr($_POST['otheramount'], 0, 65);
$receipt = substr($_POST['receipt'], 0, 65); 
$dontcall = substr($_POST['dontcall'], 0, 65);


if ($ammount == "25"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 25 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 == $ammount;
}

elseif ($ammount == "50"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 50 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 == $ammount;
}

elseif ($ammount == "100"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 100 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 == $ammount;
}

elseif ($ammount == "200"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 200 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 == $ammount;
}

elseif ($ammount == "otheram"){
$body = "Donation Successful for $otherammount dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 == $ammount;
}

Strange, I'm trying to duplicate your problem but I don't get any errors, I get redirected to paypal instantly.

Sam Granger · February 4, 2008

You dont have any spaces in front or after your php tags?

PHP Monkeh · February 4, 2008

Also you should change $ammount1 == $ammount; to $ammount1 = $ammount; at the end of your if() statements.

dessolator · February 4, 2008

Hi,

theres deffinately no spaces before/after the php tags, its redirecting only for $250 and other ammount but isn't passing the price across. All the other values get the header error still even after changing $ammount1 == $ammount to $ammount1 = $ammount. I have cleared the cache to ensure its not old data etc but still getting errors. So confused.

Updated code:

<?php
$name = substr($_POST['name'], 0, 65); 
$address = substr($_POST['address'], 0, 300);
$email = substr($_POST['email'], 0, 65); 
$phone = substr($_POST['phone'], 0, 65);
$ammount = substr($_POST['ammount'], 0, 65); 
$otheramount = substr($_POST['otheramount'], 0, 65);
$receipt = substr($_POST['receipt'], 0, 65); 
$dontcall = substr($_POST['dontcall'], 0, 65);
if ($ammount == "25"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 25 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 = $ammount;
}
elseif ($ammount == "50"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 50 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 = $ammount;
}
elseif ($ammount == "100"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 100 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 = $ammount;
}
elseif ($ammount == "200"){
$body = "Donation Successful for 200 dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 = $ammount;
}
elseif ($ammount == "otheram"){
$body = "Donation Successful for $otherammount dollars";
$to = "test@test.com";
$subject = "Donation Confirmation";
$from = "test@test.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$ammount1 = $ammount;
}
header("location:https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=holloway%2eian%40gmail%2ecom&item_name=Donation&amount=$ammount1&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&currency_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF&charset=UTF%2d8");
?>

Thanks,

Ian

Psycho · February 4, 2008

Forgive me, but why the hell do you have all those elseif statements? You're making the problem much harder than it should be. You also have a problem in that you are setting $ammount1 to $ammount. For "otherammount" that will result in a string value instead of a numeric value (in the current code).

<?php

$name = substr($_POST['name'], 0, 65); 
$address = substr($_POST['address'], 0, 300);
$email = substr($_POST['email'], 0, 65); 
$phone = substr($_POST['phone'], 0, 65);
$ammount = substr($_POST['ammount'], 0, 65); 
$otheramount = substr($_POST['otheramount'], 0, 65);
$receipt = substr($_POST['receipt'], 0, 65); 
$dontcall = substr($_POST['dontcall'], 0, 65);

if ($ammount == "otheram") {
    $ammount = $otherammount;
}

if (is_numeric($ammount))
{
    //Send the email
    $to = "test@test.com";
    $subject = "Donation Confirmation";
    $from = "test@test.com";
    $headers = "From: $from";
    $body = "Donation Successful for $ammount dollars";
    mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

    //Redirect to paypal
    $paypal_loc  = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick";
    $paypal_loc += "&business=holloway%2eian%40gmail%2ecom&item_name=Donation";
    $paypal_loc += "&amount=$ammount1&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&currency_code=USD";
    $paypal_loc += "&lc=US&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF&charset=UTF%2d8"
    header("location:$paypal_loc");
}
else
{
    // Value is not a number need to add error condition here
}

?>

dessolator · February 5, 2008

Thanks very much for your help, Haven't been taught any other way to do elseif's, now I know lol. Still getting the damn header errors, really can't see why though (Line 23-29).

Thanks,

Ian
