Pass HTML Form to PHP, Validate Input, then Send to GC
United States	2007-03-20 18:33:24
I've been going back and forth on this and might be making the PHP API more Complex than it needs to be. I am comfortable with html forms, post, php and xml (somewhat) Here goes: My HTML page has a seven item HTML Form with several hidden inputs and one text field with a quantity value for each item that the user fills in. GC will not accept any item values with 0 or blank, so I am submitting the form to a PHP parser which strips out all the hidden items with no quantity and then submits that to GC...to summarize: HTML Form -> PHP strips out no-quantity items -> PHP submits to GC. Here is my simple PHP code (my merchant # has been changed for protection: [code] <?php $items = array("item_quantity_1=0&", "item_quantity_2=0&"); $body = file_get_contents('php://input'); $cart = str_replace($items,"",$body); $form = "<form method="post" name="orders" action="https:// checkout.google.com/cws/v2/Merchant/xxx/checkoutForm"& gt;". $cart."<form>";?> <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> function submitcheckout(){ var form = document.orders; form.submit(); } </ script> </head> <body> <?php echo $form ?> <input type="image" onload="submitcheckout()" name="Google Checkout" alt="Fast checkout through Google" src="https://checkout.google. com/ buttons/checkout.gif? merchant_id=xxx&w=168&h=44&style=trans&varia nt=text&loc=en_US" height="46" width="180"/> </body>< </html> [/code] I am well aware that this is covered in detail in the XML and/or PHP API, but again I've been going around in circles and am becoming more confused. I'm sure that I'm not the only one. Any help appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "API Integration Basics" group.

Jonathan hi i think that ur issue is that u are not respecting the items numeration if you post 4 items, and the remove #1 and #2, the post hidden will be item_quantity_3 and item_quantity_4 and as u can see in this specs, Google Checkout expects item_quantity_1 and item_quantity_2 before 3 and 4 http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/google_checkout_html_api.html#checkout_api double check that please hope this helps btw, also double check the output form that ur script is producing, because i dont think is correct. i would use some thing like this <;?php $cart = ""; foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {   if(!($value <= 0)) {     $cart .= '<input type=";hidden" name=";' . $key . '"; value="' . $value . '"; />';   } } $form = "<form method="post" name=";orders" action="https://checkout.google.com/cws/v2/Merchant/xxx/checkoutForm ">" . $cart . "<form>"; ?> <html>; <head> <script language="JavaScript" type=";text/JavaScript"> ; function submitcheckout(){       var form = document.orders;       form.submit();   } </script> </head> <body> <?php echo $form; ?> <input type=";image"; onload="submitcheckout()" name=";Google Checkout" alt="Fast checkout through Google" src=" https://checkout.google.com/buttons/checkout.gif?merchant_id=xxx&w=168&h=44&;style=trans&variant=text&;loc=en_US " height="46" width="180"/> </body> </html> Note: review this code, i coded in the mail :P, didnt test it ropu On 3/20/07, Jonathan4Gs < jonathan7gmail.com">jonathan7gmail.com> wrote: I've been going back and forth on this and might be making the PHP API more Complex than it needs to be.
