Thanks!
Yes i basically agree, we were planning on using paypals e-mail
options which would handle all of the security side of things - these
are very good at billing a customer but how to recive ordering details
isn't so clear on there website - i'm looking for a simple solution to
this just in case paypal e-mail payment services dont cover the
ordering side - your help is much apprciated! - Graham
