I set this up a while back now and had a PayPal issue with the currency coding. I've come back to it ( PR3 ) and want to get it up and running.

basically you go through the form and click to pay and it throws this error up -

The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.

I know it's to to with the format of the "£" but for the life of me get it working.

if ( $currency == "USD" || $currency == "AUD" || $currency == "CAD" || $currency == "NZD" || $currency == "HKD" || $currency == "SGD" ) { $currencysymbol = "$"; }
else if ( $currency == "GBP" ) { $currencysymbol = "£"; }
else if ( $currency == "JPY" ) { $currencysymbol = "¥"; }
else if ( $currency == "EUR" ) { $currencysymbol = "€"; }
else { $currencysymbol = ""; }

I've change the £ to £

But still no joy. I ahve tried Euros too and that errors.

I can change it to dollars in the admin and it works fine.

Any help welcome. Wood for the trees?

Andy, would it be GBP you need to use instead of &pound or £, as that's the currency code they use on PayPal.

It's this that it doest like

else if ( $currency == "GBP" ) { $currencysymbol = "£"; }

Tried GBP instead of "£"and "£" no luck.

Anyone using JobPress2 on here?

BTW I had emailed the [email protected] email with no reply.

I think it's because its late and I've been staring at code too long.

Thanks for a reply though

Try this

instead of £ Put:

& #163;

No space between & and # (the forum turns it into a £ even in code/html tags)

Thanks fella,

Tried £ and every other sign I could think of.

Set it to US dollars in Admin and it works fine, i guess I'm missing some thing else. Even done a atch find through all the files for &pound to see if any files arew hiding something.

Hmm, if you set it to a price on the site ill work through it to the error (I signed up, but as its currently free, couldn't replicate the error)

Thanks, ran through it - As you said:

The link you have used to enter the PayPal system contains an incorrectly formatted item amount.

Unfortunately paypal encode's the url so I can't see what they are retrieving the information from.

I am guessing its something to do with how its sent - for example it being incorrectly parsed due to an ampersand that hasn't been coded.

ie: its left as & not &

Paypal suggest that it is to do with the 'quantity' of product purchased. So I would look at that section of the code
