Paypal IPN

[chris1990]

Hi,

I am trying to setup paypal's IPN system, but using the ipn simulator i am unable to get any 'VERIFIED' responses.

Here is the code i am using:

<?php  

//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/1.1\r\n"; 
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"; 
$header .= "Host: www.paypal.com\r\n"; 
$header .= "Connection: close\r\n"; 
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n"; 
$fp = fsockopen ('ssl://www.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30); 
// 

//error connecting to paypal 
if (!$fp) { 
    // 
} 
     
//successful connection     
if ($fp) { 
    fputs ($fp, $header . $req); 
     
    while (!feof($fp)) { 
        $res = fgets ($fp, 1024); 
        $res = trim($res); //NEW & IMPORTANT 
                 
        if (strcmp($res, "VERIFIED") == 0) { 
            //insert order into database
    //SEND EMAIL
    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Good IPN";
    $message = " this is working ipn" . $payment_status . $item_name;
    $from = "[email protected]";
    $headers = "From:" . $from;
    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
            
        } 
     
        if (strcmp ($res, "INVALID") == 0) { 
            //insert into DB in a table for bad payments for you to process later 
            
    //SEND EMAIL 
    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Bad IPN";
    $message = "this is not working ipn";
    $from = "[email protected]";
    $headers = "From:" . $from;
    mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
        } 
    } 

    fclose($fp); 
} 

?>

Thanks, Chris.
