I have a simple form that captures first name, last name and email and then has a radio button with an amount. I want to pass the first name, last name and email through to paypal so that I can see this information in the paypal transaction record. Without it I have to make assumptions about who the member has actually paid for. Looking at paypal they have set naming conventions to pass data though. Can anyone tell me how I affect this using Web Form Builder.

Thanks Sean

Hi Sean,
There's a few ways you can accomplish this. One would be to replace the myformname.php with your own custom script.

Hi

WOW that was quick and really early for you. Would you be able to point me in the direction of a custom script!

thanks

Sean

Google it and there's many examples of how to do it. I replace my form scripts for one site I have all the time but love the ease and speed the form builder gives me to make responsive forms.
submitting a form to Paypal.

Hi Eric

Thanks for all you help. I had done significant reviews already in passing form information into paypal already. The bit I am missing is when I review the php files its next to impossible to follow the logic through to identify the area to where the extra add in fields into the Form Builder Code. I've looked in Myformname.php file. Additionally I have reviewed confirm.php, form.cfs.php,uid.php,user,cfg.php. I can't find which script physically passes the information to paypal. I really like web form builder and agree that it offers alot more flexibility. But I am a little surprised there is some additional developer documentation that details the file structure such that custom form data captured in WFB can be passed through to PayPal via putting hidden variables.

If anyone or you Eric can give me some advice as to the files to update I would appreciated it

regards

Sean

The form builders logic is made to handle a lot of situations so there's a ton of extra code. That's why I suggest using the form builder to make your form but replace myfromnmae.php with your own thus bypassing all the other php scripts that the form builder uses.
