Custom form and dynamic e-doc download - is this possible?

[nevnorris]

OsCommerce looks great - but is it going to fit my needs? Please help!!

 

My site sells a PDF document that is generated on the fly from details submitted before checkout in a web form.

 

I'm currently using a fairly rickety PHP system (no cart) I developed myself, but would love to use OsCommerce.

 

So...

 

Is it possible to do the following:

 

Customer chooses the type of document he requires (there's a choice of 3).

 

Then he enters the necessary details for the document into a custom form and, as he continues to payment pages, these custom details are saved to a MySQL database for retrieval later.

 

If the payment is successful, the customer's details a picked up from the database and passed to my own script, which generates the PDF file and offers the link for download.

 

At present I pass a unique number through the entire checkout process in order to pick out the correct details from the database at the end.

 

Is this possible - possibly using a totally different approach - using OsCommerce.

 

I would be genuinely grateful for your help and advice.

I cant see it being too hard to implement, you'd want the system to automatically forward the customer to your PHP script after the confirmation page is shown (after payment). You're best bet is to install osCommerce in a test folder and take a look at how it works.

I would indeed want it to forward to my PHP script.

 

I'm not sure how to send my custom variable all the way through the OsCommerce checkout, though, so that my script knows which details to pick up.
