Hi all,
Im in the sandbox area of paypal and sending a test ipn, which is stated as successful. I miss spelt the name on purpose and got an error, so im guessing that it only checks for a file actually being there.
I admittedly got this code from their examples. but have edited it to run an update action, which is where i need a little help.
Its not updating my field in the database.
<?php
// PHP 4.1
// read the post from PayPal system and add 'cmd'
$req = 'cmd=_notify-validate';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
$req .= "&$key=$value";
}
// post back to PayPal system to validate
$header .= "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen ('ssl://www.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);
// assign posted variables to local variables
$item_name = $_POST['item_name'];
$item_number = $_POST['item_number'];
$payment_status = $_POST['payment_status'];
$payment_amount = $_POST['mc_gross'];
$payment_currency = $_POST['mc_currency'];
$txn_id = $_POST['txn_id'];
$receiver_email = $_POST['receiver_email'];
$payer_email = $_POST['payer_email'];
$quantity = $_POST['quantity'];
if (!$fp) {
// HTTP ERROR
} else {
fputs ($fp, $header . $req);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$res = fgets ($fp, 1024);
if (strcmp ($res, "VERIFIED") == 0) {
echo "I WORKED THANK YOU VERY MUCH";
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("database")or die("cannot select DB");
$sql = "UPDATE tbl_user SET user_list_credits = '$quantity' WHERE user_email = '$payer_email'";
mysql_select_db("$db_name");
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
}
else if (strcmp ($res, "INVALID") == 0) {
echo "I DIDNT WORK";
}
}
fclose ($fp);
}
?>
