Hi
I need to pass onto the payment processor pages via the hidden form fields mechanism a viable if the script is run on its first invocation with a particular parameter. This is required as this transaction will then be flagged as a phone order rather than online order for use by a call centre. The call centre people will select the items to be bought, manually enter the customers details into the address pages, checkout etc. They will initially click on a link as below

e.g. wwwmydomainname.com/ccp5/cgi-bin/cp-app … oneorder=1

a variable requires to be set e.g. vpp_var and passed onto the processors payment page via hidden field.

i have use the following code in ste_exec.pl in the ste_exec routine

      if($q->param('phoneorder')==1)
     {

              $vpp_var = "yes";
      }
     else
     
              $vpp_var="no";
     }

unfortunately the problem im having is that because the ste_exec routine gets called every time you progress thru the cart checkout pages the initial setting of $vpp_var is lost and im getting vpp_var to be set to "no" regardless. So where/how do i  code this so it only gets called once and also has access to the initial program parameters.

please advise.
