I currently have a form on my WordPress shop which submits details to Paypal using the “Buy Now” button API. What I would like to do is based on the ‘School’ my customer selects on the form, I would like to submit the related Paypal e-mail address. I am currently storing the e-mail address related to the school in my database, so all I need to do is a SELECT from my database based on the selected school name.
I’d like to do this by submitting the form to a PHP class which then forwards the information to the Paypal API. My question is, as a PHP newbie, how do I do this? Here’s the form code I have… how do I forward these fields to another PHP class which collects the selected dropdown field value and submits to Paypal?
Thanks in advance!!
