Php, paypal and IPN

[BBK]

Anyone here done IPN integration from a custom cart in php through to paypal? I'm struggling with getting payment notification back to my site, and the IPN guidelines are not the most straightforward, it has to be said

I've used it with OSCommerce but never coded my own... it may be worth downloading the osc module and pulling it apart as a code example ??

im actually working on an osc store atm and the ipn is a cunt.

the payment gets accepted according to the sandbox and you get sent back to the store after payment ok, but the status on the store doesnt seem to be updating.

the sand box is shite and the documentation is wank, this is true.

if you find anything useful pls post, ill post if i find a fix at some point.

I've actually done it now. It was - in the end - really bloody simple. The guy I was doing it for invested in a paypal book for me (link below). My only issue was passing a value to paypal that was then returned back to me so I could reconcile it against the data I had already stored, but I ended up using the invoice field (which doesn't seem to display in paypa) and passing through a random number, which then gets returned back. The actual IPN script itself is easy - just go here https://paypaltech.com/SG2/ and generate one. This link is recommended by paypal so its safe, and the script does everything you could ask of it. All I had to do was amend the script so that it updated my table as well as the ones that come as part of the script.
