Although I am using the code below from the paypal1.asp file from within paypal_sub_signup, I received garbage in the "Subscription To" box when I tested this sample transaction. I registered correctly using the register.asp from within paypal_sub_signup, the paypal1.asp displayed correctly, but when it went to paypal.com the "subscription To" box had bad data. Can you help?

As for this paypal subscription issue no one has asked about it in a very long time so honestly it's not something I can just give you a quick answer on. I need to get familiar with it all again.

Basically you're going to have a wait for more of an answer on this. More info would also be helpful..

What was the garbage data? Was it ever working ?

Also, Paypal is always changing things.. though I doubt it perhaps they changed someting.. again, as soon as I get a chance I'll start up my development rig and do some testing.

I do notice a whole bunch of style tags in that form code your showing me that really don't need to be there. What happens if you test the sample original code the way it came with none of that stuff that has been added by your wysiwyg.. editor... hidden input tags really shouldn't have style info in them. Less is better in cases like this.

When you test things you need to start at the beginning and see if the most simple scenarios work, a lot of times wysiwyg editots mess things up, especially form code.

Basically, I provide 30 days of basic installation support after the sale.. after that any support I give is based on when I have time.

I have tested the original paypal1.asp, and it gernerated the garbage also. Here is a sample of the information that is displayed in the paypal transaction. Is it possible to create a standard paypal subscribe button and modify the security level in the database?

weird.. I did some research and it seems like whever that sort of thing shows up it usually has to do with using odd characters being used that paypal does not like..

I need to see the generated form code from the browser view source before you go to paypal.. I want to see exactly what is there..

As for your other question.. not really sure what your asking there..

I read you message and thanks for helping, but I don't know what to change in paypal1.asp.

Am I supposed to remove "&nbsp; " in one of the pages?

Please help.

I downloaded the zipped file and replace it in the proper folder and paypal worked fine.

Thanks you so much. Working with you is always a pleasure. I'm sorry that your business has taken a downturn. Hopefully, things will get better next year.
