Ok, I'm having some trouble here. I have an html page called donations that has a form on it. The form action is pointing to donations.php. Inside my donations.php I have header("Location: This is the code on paypal.html

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/URL]
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function submitForm() {
document.myForm.submit();
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="javascript:submitForm()">
You are being redirected to PayPal.

<form name="myForm" method="post" action="[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr">[/URL]
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="site@email.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Contribution">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.site.com/thanks.php">[/URL]
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.site.com/contribute/">[/URL]

My php code is like this:

Code: 
<?php
// Receiving variables
$item_name = addslashes($_POST['item_name']);

$amount = addslashes($_POST['amount']);
$firstname = addslashes($_POST['firstname']);

$address1 = addslashes($_POST['address1']);
$address2 = addslashes($_POST['address2']);
$city = addslashes($_POST['city']);
$state = addslashes($_POST['state']);
$zip = addslashes($_POST['zip']);
$company = addslashes($_POST['company']);
$occupation = addslashes($_POST['occupation']);
$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
$phone1 = addslashes($_POST['phone1']);
$phone2 = addslashes($_POST['phone2']);
$phone3 = addslashes($_POST['phone3']);
$phonetype = addslashes($_POST['phonetype']);

?>

I need to be able to take the information the user inputs into the Amount section and insert it into the - <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="need number inserted here">

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks

what is the name of your amount field? to populate a hidden field value with the value of a text field when the text field changes, do this:

Code: 
<input type="text" name="amountText" onchange="this.form.amount.value = this.value;" />

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

Thats what message I get when I try to add that code to my paypal.html page

The item is changing on my paypal.html page... and form information is on my donations.html and donations.php. Don't know if that makes a difference.
