including a php variable into the checkout process
hi guys,
I guess this has been asked a million times over, and I've looked at the discussions relating to 'referrals' but I just don't seem to understand how to do it! (my head is running in slow motion today due to too many late nights working
basically, I have set up a directory in PHP/MySQL where customers can advertise their businesses & events. When they create a listing, they have to go through actinic to pay for them (with HSBC as the payment provider).
Everything works fine as orders are received and we manually activate the listing once payment has been made.
Now we want to automate it by sending a variable (i.e listingID=149 or listingID=150, etc) through actinic and end up in the receipt page and when someone clicks the 'done' button, it will send the 'listingID=149' variable to one of my php pages (this page will then connect to the MySQL database and update listing no.149 to say it has been paid. The listing is then automatically displayed on the directory!)
So.... can someone please explain to me in simple set of instructions as to how I could do this (or can you please point me in the direction of a thread that has simple to follow instructions).
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Actinic Variables.
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
