Hi
I generated a Paypal button for setting up a shopping cart but I am not getting the Paypal Hosted Button ID as per the tutorial [http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/build-a-simple-php-application/integrating-with-paypal/creating-paypal-buttons], pls note that I am using a regular Paypal account out of India.
I am also getting the following in its place :
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF:btn_cart_LG.gif:NonHosted">

Perhaps it is no longer necessary for PayPal to work. Using your code I am able to add the button to my code and go to the checkout stage. Please advise if you are still a bit stuck on this one?
Thanks, Hampton

THanks for responding , here is the gist https://gist.github.com/spraveenitpro/303c6918cd302566da2a
As you see I am not getting a "Hosted button ID" hidden field which is mentioned in the tutorial , I don't have a merchant account and I am having a Paypal india account [Not Paypal US] Thanks.

Check the link => https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Settings-Archive/cant-find-hosted-button-id/td-p/665688
I had a business variable instead, the explanation is there :)
