/*******************************************************************************
* PHP Paypal IPN Integration Class


  • Author: Micah Carrick
  • Email: email@micahcarrick.com
  • Website: http://www.micahcarrick.com
    *
  • File: paypal.class.php
  • Version: 1.3.0
  • Copyright: (c) 2005 – Micah Carrick
  • You are free to use, distribute, and modify this software
  • under the terms of the GNU General Public License. See the
  • included license.txt file.

  • VERION HISTORY:

  • v1.3.0 [10.10.2005] – Fixed it so that single quotes are handled the
  • right way rather than simple stripping them. This
  • was needed because the user could still put in
  • quotes.
    • v1.2.1 [06.05.2005] – Fixed typo from previous fix 🙂
      *
  • v1.2.0 [05.31.2005] – Added the optional ability to remove all quotes
  • from the paypal posts. The IPN will come back
  • invalid sometimes when quotes are used in certian
  • fields.
    *
  • v1.1.0 [05.15.2005] – Revised the form output in the submit_paypal_post
  • method to allow non-javascript capable browsers
  • to provide a means of manual form submission.
    *
  • v1.0.0 [04.16.2005] – Initial Version
    *


  • DESCRIPTION:
    *

  • NOTE: See http://www.micahcarrick.com for the most recent version of this class
  • along with any applicable sample files and other documentaion.
    *
  • This file provides a neat and simple method to interface with paypal and
  • The paypal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) interface. This file is
  • NOT intended to make the paypal integration “plug ‘n’ play”. It still
  • requires the developer (that should be you) to understand the paypal
  • process and know the variables you want/need to pass to paypal to
  • achieve what you want.
    *
  • This class handles the submission of an order to paypal aswell as the
  • processing an Instant Payment Notification.
    • This code is based on that of the php-toolkit from paypal. I’ve taken
  • the basic principals and put it in to a class so that it is a little
  • easier–at least for me–to use. The php-toolkit can be downloaded from
  • http://sourceforge.net/projects/paypal.
    • To submit an order to paypal, have your order form POST to a file with:
      *
  • $p = new paypal_class;
  • $p->add_field(‘business’, ‘somebody@domain.com’);
  • $p->add_field(‘first_name’, $_POST[‘first_name’]);
  • … (add all your fields in the same manor)
  • $p->submit_paypal_post();
    *
  • To process an IPN, have your IPN processing file contain:
    *
  • $p = new paypal_class;
  • if ($p->validate_ipn()) {
  • … (IPN is verified. Details are in the ipn_data() array)
  • }
    *
    *
  • In case you are new to paypal, here is some information to help you:
    *
    1. Download and read the Merchant User Manual and Integration Guide from
  • http://www.paypal.com/en_US/pdf/integration_guide.pdf. This gives
  • you all the information you need including the fields you can pass to
  • paypal (using add_field() with this class) aswell as all the fields
  • that are returned in an IPN post (stored in the ipn_data() array in
  • this class). It also diagrams the entire transaction process.
    *
    1. Create a “sandbox” account for a buyer and a seller. This is just
  • a test account(s) that allow you to test your site from both the
  • seller and buyer perspective. The instructions for this is available
  • at https://developer.paypal.com/ as well as a great forum where you
  • can ask all your paypal integration questions. Make sure you follow
  • all the directions in setting up a sandbox test environment, including
  • the addition of fake bank accounts and credit cards.

    Not sure what is wrong with your code, but it is always good idea to use built-in classes to avoid any issues coming out of YOUR code, so i would suggest you to use this paypal class which will elevate a lot of efforts from your side.
