Allright.. after several hours of trying to figure this out.. I came close but I still need help Current code <?php // Database variables $host = "localhost"; //database location $user = "geekinc0_usr"; //database username $pass = "TbIb)1{d56K"; //database password $db_name = "geekinc0_paypal"; //database name mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass); mysql_select_db($db_name); // Paypal POSTs HTML FORM variables to this page // we must post all the variables back to paypal exactly unchanged and add an extra parameter cmd with value _notify-validate // initialise a variable with the requried cmd parameter $req = 'cmd=_notify-validate'; // go through each of the POSTed vars and add them to the variable foreach ($_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) .

I want 3 BOX's on a simple HTML Form : Room name : Username : $amount once they enter all that information it sends it to the database in that format. Once a certain quota has been raised for that user $200 lets say then they get it for lifetime. The part thats confusing for me is getting the HTML form to work with the IPN script 3 boxes (TEXT ) (Text) (Test) in each box... Send payment button They can pay with paypal / credit card etc.. Sends it to the database and stores it. Sounds simple.........

Hello everyone, Here's what I'm trying to do Ive done abit of extensive research and I am just stumped. I'll explain what I'm trying to do and maybe you can help me further. Goal - Create a paypal checkout system That has a form of ROOM NAME: Username : $dollar amount ( On the form they would enter the name of the room : TEST follow by there username : TestUSr : Amount $10 it would then send it to the database. Basically a rental service using reserved funds. When it hits around $200 it basically becomes free forever if that makes any since.. Sounds simple and I was messing with some code Just can't seem to figure it out. I was refrencing from somthing like this http://www.evoluted.net/thinktank/web-development/paypal-integration-with-php-mysql Not sure if im going in the right direction. If someone could help me with this simple task it would be much apreciated
