Please help. Sizes are not showing on shirt.php page after changing from html tag to php script.

...<select name="os0" id="os0"><option value="Small">Small</option> <option value="Medium">Medium</option> <option value="Large">Large</option> <option value="X-Large">X-Large</option> </select>...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

HI! Rich, Unfortunately, it won't let me post the codes here. I have seen the problem through chrome dev tools. Because I didn't setup an Paypal Business Account and I think the script is looking for paypal user info?

<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="<br /> <b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: paypal in <b>/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/shirts4mike/shirt.php</b> on line <b>38</b><br /> ">

script: <select name="os0" id="os0"> <?php foreach($product["sizes"] as $size) { ?> <option value="<?php echo $size; ?>"><?php echo $size; ?></option> <?php } ?> </select>

It's related to not having a Paypal account set up, in a sense. In inc/products.php, every shirt's array includes a "paypal" key.

Check it out:

From products.php:

$products[101] = array(
    "name" => "Logo Shirt, Red",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-101.jpg",
    "price" => 18,
    "paypal" => "I CAN LITERALLY PUT ANYTHING HERE(figuratively, of course)",
    "sizes" => array("Small","Medium","Large","X-Large")
);

Then, from shirt.php:

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="<?php echo $product["paypal"]; ?>"> //Problem is here!

You can either assign the paypal key a value or remove it from value of the hidden field. Hope this helps!

Edit: This is specifically for the Notice you received. We can dig further if you can find a way to paste your code.

Thank you Adam, you are right. I had a problem with products.php. For some reason I didn't realize I created 2 files of products.php into shirt4mike folder and inside the inc folder and my shirt.php was pointing to inc/products.php who hasn't array key value for paypal rather than the other one. I checked using var_dump and a result of null.
