I have a catalogue.txt file that contains: "item_number", "item_name" and "item_amount" I need a php program that takes a user's input from an html form (namely the item_number) and will read the catalogue.txt (tab/comma delimited) and post the results to a PayPal "add to cart" button. the html form will be similar to: Enter Item Number: (_______) [add to cart] I have no idea how to write the php file or the html that will post the results to paypal. Can anyone help? I've been searching for months trying to find some info on this.

I need a script that will allow my customers to enter an item number (only) from a catalogue and then click on "Add to Cart" which takes them to PayPal's add to cart system. I would like the script to read from a database (i.e. MySql, Excel or Text file). Item Number: [____________] (Add to cart) ^ customer enters item number in a form field then click "add to cart button" I have setup a MySql database with the following fields: "item_number", "item_name" & "item_amount" (not even 100% sure if i did it correct). I imported my items list into the database and it looks proper. I am very new to MySql (took me 2 1/2 days to get my database to what it is now) and I'm worse with PHP scripts. Please help me. If anyone can help, please email me at : thelordcupid@yahoo.com Thanks in advance.
