I've been messing with JT Justman's .txt PayPal integration Instructions
that he graciously posted Jan, 22
http://www.signless.com/paypal/paypal-how.txt
and I got stuck on something. Mainly how to set up the content section of
the ord/checkout.html page. I don't know what he means by "Neuter" and
where exactly to put his form code within the content area. I've cut and
pasted his instructions (they are indented) in this e-mail to show you what
I've done so far:
> Okay, here's my description of how to make PayPal work with Interchange. This

> this gets the job done for me. Please backup all important things before

> Preliminaries:
> Get the web accept manual! I couldn't find it on their site, but I will upload
> a copy to http://www.signless.com/paypal/wa_manual_v5.0.pdf
> I had to change the format of my userdb some. First, I let PayPal handle the
> "billing address" completely, so I removed that. Second I changed the phone
> numbers into three separate fields each:
> | night_phone_a | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
> | night_phone_b | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
> | night_phone_c | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
> | day_phone_a | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
> | day_phone_b | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
> | day_phone_c | smallint(6) | YES | | NULL | |
I did this. I did not remove the billing address though.
> This is how PayPal want it passed. You could also use a regex to break it down
> I suppose but this is simpler if you're starting from scratch.
> Okay, on to business.

I did that too although I'm not sure if these should be added before or
after. I have mine set like this now:

[/else]
[/if]
__END__

[if type=explicit compare="[userdb change_pass]"]
mv_nextpage=[either][cgi mv_successpage][or][cgi mv_nextpage][/either]
[else]

[/else]
[/if]
__END__

[if value country =~ /^(US|CA)$/i]

&setcheck=mv_email [value email]

Made a ord/checkout2.html page
Also PayPal has a perl verification script. As well as a VB/ASP script.
Both are in a .PDF JT Justman posted:
http://www.signless.com/paypal/wa_manual_v5.0.pdf
I know in simple mailforms I put the link to a perl script in the form
action part. Išve done forms that integrate with Authorizenet Credit Card
Verification Transaction Screens where I also put a url in the form action
that is a link to a perl script residing in my cgi-bin. Can this be done in
the checkout.html page in the form?
HELP!!!!!!!
