I'm not sure I understand why you're asking that question here.

The code you posted is not from anything in Zen Cart. (Zen Cart uses a different and more secure+transparent method to communicate with PayPal.)

This is the Zen Cart support site, not the PayPal Developers Forum.

Nevertheless, the error message is telling you exactly what the problem is. Try putting your "method" field as an input field instead of as a button.

If you need assistance with the PayPal API and/or Sandbox, post your questions to the PayPal Developers Forum/website.
