Hi Guys , thanks in advance for starters ,
Im really stuck , Im fairly new to PHP but have used a script written by a company for a site design,
basically it is a classifieds site , but when i go to make a payment to Paypal , the payment always appears in dollars and not pounds
the buy now buttons work fine but there is something in the coding I am missing
Have trawled through the site and cant seem to find the problem ,
Have spoken to Paypal and they say the problem is at my end so I am at whitts end !!!!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated ..!!

I have added all the php file here.......

Are pounds the default on the account your sending payments too? I noticed that in payment.php the string to send the information to paypal does not contain any specification of currency type so I think it's defaulting to your account default. Either way, here is a modified payment.php that "should" work. Let me know if it does not...

PHP Code:

<?
require_once("conn.php");
require_once("includes.php");

if(empty($_GET[SelectedPackage]))
{
    header("location:$_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]?e=1&PaymentGateway=$_GET[PaymentGateway]");
    exit();
}
elseif(empty($_GET[PaymentGateway]))
{
    header("location:$_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]?e=2&SelectedPackage=$_GET[SelectedPackage]");
    exit();
}
else
{
    if(!empty($_SESSION[AgentID]))
    {
        $MyID = $_SESSION[AgentID];
    }

    if(!empty($_SESSION[MemberID]))
    {
        $MyID = $_SESSION[MemberID];
    }

    //get the agent details
    $q1 = "select * from class_members where MemberID = '$MyID' ";
    $r1 = mysql_query($q1) or die(mysql_error());
    $a1 = mysql_fetch_array($r1);

    //get the price details
    $q2 = "select * from class_prices where PriceID = '$_GET[SelectedPackage]' ";
    $r2 = mysql_query($q2) or die(mysql_error());
    $a2 = mysql_fetch_array($r2);

    /*

    flags:

    r -> renew

    n -> new

    m -> more

    */

    if(ereg("renew.php", $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]))
    {
        $flag = "r";
        $action = "Renewal";
    }
    elseif(ereg("more.php", $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]))
    {
        $flag = "m";
        $action = "Upgrade";
    }
    else
    {
        $flag = "n";
        $action = "Activation";
    }

    if($_GET[PaymentGateway] == "paypal")
    {
        header("location:https://www.paypal.com/xclick?business=$aset[PayPalEmail]&currency_code=USD&item_name=$a2[ads] ads for $a2[days] days&first_name=$a1[FirstName]&last_name=$a1[LastName]&email=$a1[email]&item_number=1&custom=$MyID|$_GET[SelectedPackage]|$flag&amount=$a2[price]&notify_url=http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]".dirname($_SERVER[PHP_SELF])."/notify.php&return=http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]".dirname($_SERVER[PHP_SELF])."/login.php");

        exit();

    }

}

?>
