Hi

In the UK Zip codes are post codes and the letters used in them should be uppercase. I'm finding that there are a few instances where they are coming through as lowercase which is affecting other processes further down the line.

I'm using PHP v7.2.3 and have the code . strtoupper($destZip) inserted into inccart.php. I have also added classes to the style thus:
<style>
.cdformzip {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#zip {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
</style>

I am unable to replicate this myself as lowercase is automatically converted as I enter it.

Have I missed something else - such as a mobile class?

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi Eric,

With the 'few instances' is there something common with the orders such as using PayPal Express where the customer doesn't fill their address in?

Hi David

Thanks for your reply. Most are PayPal but of the dozen or so that I've looked at two are credit card transactions. Now that you mention it, I remember that Paypal can bypass the address fields, but that still leaves the other two.

Do you think that there is a way to format that field in the confirmation email since that is what we are using to parse the transaction details into the order processing system where it needs to be formatted correctly?

Hi Eric,

If it's the confirmation email then you could try looking in incemail.php at the getemailrecpt function.

Around line 80 try changing:
$recpt.=$rs['ordZip'] . '<br />';
to
$recpt.= strtoupper($rs['ordZip']) . '<br />';

If you also use a different shipping address in cart you might need to change ordShipZip too.

I've not tested the above but we do something similar with the product name and of course it will get overwritten when you next update.

David

Thanks David

I'll try that and see how it goes.

I've had a good Google on the subject and can't find a country that uses Postal Codes that wouldn't have the letters in upper case. So, I've made some changes in the v7.4 updater so that all zips are forced to upper case when saved with the order details.

Hi Vince,

That will be a great time saver so thanks for making the changes.

We use a postcode lookup during checkout so not a big issue when that's used but the number of PayPal Express orders or manually entered addresses we get where we have to amend is staggering.

David

Thanks guys

That's great. Excellent support as usual.

Hi Guys

I have updated my clients website to v7.4.2 but I notice that this issue is not entirely fixed. I have the odd one which still comes through as lower case. I think this is a PayPal issue but I had thought the latest update included a fix for that. Was I mistaken?

Eric

Hi Eric
Good point, the PayPal Express order will bypass the code to put the Zip in upper case so I've made a change for that now and uploaded it in the updater.
