    Attention programmers/coders/developers

    I want to sell space on my site to poets or storytellers. If they want their story published, they have to pay me money through paypal.

    Here?s the way I see it:
    They fill out a form with the different fields (text boxes?) and their story/poem (text area?) and when they submit (buy now) it takes them to paypal they pay, when cleared I then I get emailed the form (conformation) with the poem /story.

    I thought of sending all the forms variables (pass-through) to paypal then it would get sent back when the money cleared but the custom variables in paypals manual say it can only hold 256 characters. I need space for about 50 words. Now I?m thinking I need to hold it on my server then when paypal cleared the money it sends back code to release and email me the form. Like a shopping cart but that seems too big just for a story. Could my idea be programmed? Would someone code it for me or have a different idea how to make this work? Thanks
    Thanks,
    Kit

      thats easy, something like what namecheap or xoom does when you transfer money from paypal to their programs. Email me hit me up on icq tom and I can get you in touch with someone.

          I dont really know PayPals system, are there a callback-url ? If so, just store the article-id in a database and update it when payment is cleared, eg. put in online.
          Otherwise you have to put it online manually.
          To do such a thing needs php or asp.

              Thanks for the reply - Yes paypal does have a callback-url. I can php code to get the article into a database, but I don't know how to trigger an update when payment is cleared.

                  And really I just want to have the article email to the admin, so he can verify and update manual. Is that easier?

                      Yeah...its kinda easy....

                      with a call back url...when someone send their story, store them in a DB with his email, the article ID and the article itself, and a status (something like 0 for pending and 1 for live).... (we're talking really basic here LOL)...

                      paypal sends back the article id, you just update the DB and change the status...
                      mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation
                      but hey still! need php? ICQ: 94586959

                          Does a shopping cart use full databases? I thought they hold stuff in a session id, and when the call back comes through approved, the cart is released and emailed to the person who packages up the order. If that is the case, I know nothing about session ids. How hard is that to learn/code?
                          Thanks,

                                  You can always post it on RentACoder.com, if you're looking for experienced coders to do the job for you. There are about 130000 on that site and you will receive several bids on your project (which you can select the winner out of).

                                  I've seen similar projects there in the past (php form + paypal).
