order number

[protokop]

i know for some payment modules they use the function time() as the description or something to track who paid when.

 

I am just wondering if there is a similar function that i can call to get the order number.

 

ie, in the paypal module, i want to change the item name field to the equivilent of...

 

tep_draw_hidden_field('item_name', 'order number: ' get_order_number())

 

can someone help me out with what i need to write for this line of code...

it should be the text "order number: " followed by the actual number

 

in other words i don't know PHP so i need to know how to write a string of writen characters, followed by a variable. Also i need to know what function to call to retreve that variable.

 

thanks

the paypal ipn modules are coded to be able to use the order #'s and be pushed over to paypal. what paypal module are you using?

no idea, it was already installed, how can i find out?

 

i think maybe its an old version... v1.39 or v1.7 mean anything? they are two version numbers at the top of the two paypal files... :blink:
