<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="services">

Create your code like this:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <!-- change _xclick to _cart -->
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1"> <!-- add this line in your code -->
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="your_seller_account">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Item Name 1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="1.00">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_2" value="Item Name 2">
<input type="hidden" name="amount_2" value="2.00">
<input type="submit" value="PayPal">
</form>
In addition to the changes suggested by devilprince, the underscores are missing from the line item input tags' name attributes, and also the tags are not proper self-closing tags because the closing /
is missing. Correct like so:
<form method="post" name="cart" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="services">
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://newzonemedia.com/henry/ipn.php" />
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynowCC_LG.gif:NonHosted">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.mysite.org/thank_you_kindly.html" />
<?php
// select items for table
$srowcart_dtl = mysql_num_rows($srscart_dtl);
if($srowcart_dtl > 0)
{
$cnt=1;
while($srscart_dtl1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($srscart_dtl))
{
?>
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_[<?php echo $cnt ?>]" value="<?php echo $srscart_dtl1['cart_iname']; ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="amount_[<?php echo $cnt ?>]" value="<?php echo $srscart_dtl1['cart_iprc']; ?>"/>
<?php
$cnt++;
}
}
?>

(You may also want to escape special characters in the value attribute, at least for the "
character in case it shows up in your item name data.)
Just had to figure this out today for a client. Besides item_name_N
and amount_N
I also used quantity_N
, tax_N
, and shipping_N
(where N is the line item number, starting with 1).
