Thankee Ken and Klaus! I didn't use POST. I could not get it to
work that way. But I created the URL and then handled it like any
other website URL.
I've got it working!
on paypalDirect
global tUrl,referral,desiredColor
put "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"; into tUrl
put "cmd,business,item_name,item_number,amount,no_shipping" into tParams
put ",no_note,return,cancel_return,currency_code" after tParams
put ",on0,os0,on1,os1" after tParams
put "_xclick,[EMAIL PROTECTED],Product Name,xx0" into tValues
put ",19.95,1,1,http://www.yourDomain.com/thankyou.html"; after tValues
put ",http://www.yourDomain.com/cancel.html,USD"; after tValues
put ",Color,xx1,Referred By,xx2" after tValues
put "" into tParamString
repeat with x = 1 to the number of items of tParams
if x = 1 then
put "?" & item x of tParams & "=" & urlencode(item x of
tValues) after tParamString
else
put "&" & item x of tParams & "=" & urlencode(item x of
tValues) after tParamString
end if
end repeat
put tParamString after tUrl
replace "xx0" with desiredColor in tUrl
replace "xx1" with desiredColor in tUrl # put it in two places in
case one failed
# I had trouble before getting paypal to accept multiple extra infos
# So I put it as Paypal's item_number, then again as an extra info
# yes this is redundant
replace "xx2" with urlencode(referral) in tUrl
goUrl # tUrl is the URL to send to paypal
# goUrl sends it just like any other web URL, the method depending
on the operating system
end paypalDirect
