Display Size and Color in PayPal Description and Storing in Database

I'm using Paypal Express Checkout. I followed the tutorial for adding size and color options and it appears to be working although I had to modify things a little from the tutorial a little. Here is my issue I want the size and color to show up on the paypal site as a detail. I'm not sure now to make that work correctly. When I checkout and go to the paypal site the Name, Item Number, Price and Quantity show up but not the size or color. Also how do I store this in the database on the confirm page? Here is a link to my test product... products_detail.php?ProductID=2

in the cart object, create a new calculation named "productName", set the data type to text and the calculation as:
[Name] .' Size '. [Size] .' Color '. [Color]

On the Check out page, open the server behaviors panel and double click the Authorize Transaction with PayPal express checkout, bind the item name setting the productName column from the cart.

the checkout wizard would add the Store Cart Summary and store Cart Details behaviors to the pp_confirm page. You can edit the store cart details behavior, and bind the Name column of the order details table to the productName cart column.

The Authorize Transaction isn't available on my checkout.php page. It was either Ray and You that had me make a change to make it work with my server and the Authorize Transaction disappeared whenever this was done. I don't remember exactly what he did. Here is the checkout and pp_confirm files for your reviews.
Thanks

to change the column used to pass the name, edit this line on the checkout page:

$WA_PP_ECO_Do_itemized[0][$nextIndex] = "Name" . strval($cartIndex+1) . "";

    $WA_PP_ECO_Do_itemized[1][$nextIndex] = "".$siteCart->DisplayInfo("Name")  ."";

if you named the calculation "productName", change that code to:

$WA_PP_ECO_Do_itemized[0][$nextIndex] = "Name" . strval($cartIndex+1) . "";

    $WA_PP_ECO_Do_itemized[1][$nextIndex] = "".$siteCart->DisplayInfo("productName")  ."";

We're making headway here. There still are a few issues.
On the pp_confirm.php page I changed the store details to store the productName instead of the Name and that works fine.

1. The receipt that is sent by paypal doesn't include the Color or Size information.
2. The receipt sent from my site returns the error reflected in the attachment.

I've uploaded the screen capture of the error and the 2 files involved in the error.

Thanks.

line 89:

if ( $Color == "") echo ""; else echo "<strong>Color:</strong> $Color ";

should be:

if ( $Color == "") $MailBody = $MailBody . ""; else $MailBody = $MailBody . "<strong>Color:</strong> $Color ";

line 94:

if ( $Size == "") echo ""; else echo "<strong>Size:</strong> $Size";

should be:

if ( $Size == "") $MailBody = $MailBody . ""; else $MailBody = $MailBody . "<strong>Size:</strong> $Size";

I switched out the code and I no longer get the error message.

But now the PayPal receipt (see image) isn't including the Color or Size information and the email from my site doesn't include the Order Number and there is a lot of space between the Description and the description text and the Color and Size. On the bright side everything seems to be going in the database correctly.

To go with my last post here is a copy of the receipt that gets sent from my site. You'll see there isn't a Order Number and there are gaps be Description: and the description text and the description tex and the Color and Size fields.

for the paypal receipt, find the following code on the pp_confirm.php page:

$WA_PP_ECO_Do_itemized[0][$nextIndex] = "Name" . strval($cartIndex+1) . "";
  $WA_PP_ECO_Do_itemized[1][$nextIndex] = "".$siteCart->DisplayInfo("Name")  ."";

and change it to:

$WA_PP_ECO_Do_itemized[0][$nextIndex] = "Name" . strval($cartIndex+1) . "";
  $WA_PP_ECO_Do_itemized[1][$nextIndex] = "".$siteCart->DisplayInfo("productName")  ."";

for the receipt on your page, the order number does not show because of code order.

The email code block is at lines 433 - 521 of the pp_confirm.php page 522 - 635 is the code block for storing the order information in the database. The order ID is created by the store order summary behavior. The email code block needs to be moved to line 635 so it happens after the order is saved to the database and the ID is created.


The spaces between the description and the options are happening because you have each block in a separate paragraph in the email message.

the code for the name dfescription and options in the email is:

$MailBody = $MailBody . "<p style=\"font-weight:bold; margin:0 0 2px 0;\"><strong>";
$MailBody = $MailBody .  $siteCart->DisplayInfo("Name");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</strong></span></p>\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "<p style=\"margin:0 0 2px 0;\"><strong>Description:</strong>&nbsp;";
$MailBody = $MailBody .  $siteCart->DisplayInfo("Description");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</span></p>\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "<p style=\"margin:0 0 2px 0;\">";
 $Color = $siteCart->DisplayInfo("Color"); 
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
 if ( $Color == "") $MailBody = $MailBody . ""; else $MailBody = $MailBody . "<strong>Color:</strong> $Color "; 
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</span></p>\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "<p style=\"margin:0 0 2px 0;\">";
 $Size = $siteCart->DisplayInfo("Size"); 
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
 if ( $Size == "") $MailBody = $MailBody . ""; else $MailBody = $MailBody . "<strong>Size:</strong> $Size"; 
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</span></p>\r\n";

change that to:

$MailBody = $MailBody . "<p style=\"font-weight:bold; margin:0 0 2px 0;\"><strong>";
$MailBody = $MailBody .  $siteCart->DisplayInfo("Name");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</strong></span></p>\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "<strong>Description:</strong>&nbsp;";
$MailBody = $MailBody .  $siteCart->DisplayInfo("Description");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</span>\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
 $Color = $siteCart->DisplayInfo("Color"); 
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
 if ( $Color == "") $MailBody = $MailBody . ""; else $MailBody = $MailBody . "<strong>Color:</strong> $Color "; 
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</span>\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
 $Size = $siteCart->DisplayInfo("Size"); 
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
 if ( $Size == "") $MailBody = $MailBody . ""; else $MailBody = $MailBody . "<strong>Size:</strong> $Size"; 
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</span></p>\r\n";

So that only one paragraph is used.

If I change the eCart calculation for productName to (((( ' Product: '.[Name] .' Size: '. [Size] .' Color: '. [Color] ))))) instead of (((( [Name] .' Size '. [Size] .' Color '. [Color] )))) will the : show up with the Size and Color like Size: Large Color: Black on Paypal or will it cause an error in the code? As it currently is it's showing Product Name Size Large Color Black where as I'd prefer Product: Product Name Size: Large Color: Black
