i have put that url http://pvpcoach.com/notification.php in Instant Payment Notification setting in my profile and i m using that notification.php script code for Instant Payment Notification data.

notification.php

    <?php
    // Revision Notes
    // 11/04/11 - changed post back url from https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr to https://ipnpb.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
    // For more info see below:
    // https://www.x.com/content/bulletin-ip-address-expansion-paypal-services
    // "ACTION REQUIRED: if you are using IPN (Instant Payment Notification) for Order Management and your IPN listener script is behind a firewall that uses ACL (Access Control List) rules which restrict outbound traffic to a limited number of IP addresses, then you may need to do one of the following: 
    // To continue posting back to https://www.paypal.com  to perform IPN validation you will need to update your firewall ACL to allow outbound access to *any* IP address for the servers that host your IPN script
    // OR Alternatively, you will need to modify  your IPN script to post back IPNs to the newly created URL https://ipnpb.paypal.com using HTTPS (port 443) and update firewall ACL rules to allow outbound access to the ipnpb.paypal.com IP ranges (see end of message)."

    I think the sandbox url should be

    https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
    

    (and then all values (plus the additional cmd=_notify-validate) appended via GET.
    Additionally I think the included curl functions are much easier to use to validate requests like this:

    $responseURL = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?";
    $params = "cmd=_notify-validate&" .http_build_query($_POST);
    
    // verify IPN with paypal
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $responseURL. $params);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    
    if($response == "VERIFIED"){ 
        // VALID ...
    } else {
        // INVALID ...
    }
