How to capture item-specific data that's posted to my website

[inoweb]

My website will sell quantity-limited items, but I want to use e-junkie so I don't have to deal with delivery.



However, after I planned on sending the product ID through the custom variable... I saw that only 1 is allowed per order, and I want to use the cart feature - not buy it now.



So, my next thought is that I'll use the item-specific information to grab the item number, but I've never dealt with this in regards to post-payment data processing. I've always just used delimiters & split the custom variable.



Do I just set my script to check:



if ($item_number1) {

do this}

if ($item_number2) {

do this

}



& so forth? What I am asking is that the x represents numbers 1+ & that I only have to create variables like listed above (to whatever number, like 10) to be sure that I capture that data?



I'm pretty sure this is the case, but I want to be sure cuz I would like to know things are going to respond before I make something live.



I have another solution that isn't quite as nice & I hope that this'll work.



Thanks.

I've asked 3 questions in the last month, and they don't get answered. I see others getting help here, but I have to revert back to the email contact to get support....



Am I missing something here?

Sorry about that. Whenever the script is called, we send it item_cart_position along with item_number1, item_number2 etc. and item_cart_position will contain the position (1,2 etc.) of the item the notification is being sent for.



So you can do:



eval("\$current_item_number = \$item_number$item_cart_position");



and then do the if.. then logic you have.
