Just went looking through paypal help section and yes looks like business should be my email. I'll give that a try And it worked Thanks

Thanks for that. I didn't want to paste the whole config.php it's quite long. Basically the code above what I posted sets some variables one of which is $ppe for my paypal email Then he sets some page security so you can only get to the download page after signing up on squeeze page then the code I pasted then sets some cookies then does the one time offer and downsell stuff then he has a way of sending a thankyou graphic to appear on paypals 'pay now' page with the users email loaded. then he replaces symbols like @ and : with their %40 and %3a equivalents then he sets the button url which may be where my problem is. $button_url = 'Location: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business='. $paypal2.'&item_name='.$product_name2.'&item_number='.$product_id2.'&amount='.$price2.'&no_shipping=1&return='. $download_link2.'&cancel_return='.$cancel_link2.'&no_note=1&currency_code=USD&notify_url='.$ipn_link2.'&cpp_header_image='.$ppheader_url2; That's the link to paypal so on the sales page he just writes $button_url $paypal2 should be the users email address $ipn_link don't know what this is (notify url) but he's turned it off (commented it out) previously I don't see any reference to my paypal account could this be why paypal says error wrong email address to the buyer?

Hi, Can someone explain in english what this is doing to email addresses? Is it validating the users input format? I've got 2 Buy Now buttons that take people to Paypal but then Paypal says error wrong email address. Yet above this code $ppe is set as my correct paypal email address. This is from my config.php. Does the 2nd to last line change $e into my $ppe paypal email? if ($_SESSION['page'] !== 'index') {} else { $e = $_GET['e']; if ( ($e == '') || ($e == '[email protected]') || ($e == '[email protected]') || ($e == '[email protected]') || ($e == '[email protected]') || ($e == '-8-email-8-') || ($e == '-8-paypalemail-8-') || ($e == '-8-EMAIL-8-') || ($e == '-8-PAYPALEMAIL-8-') || ($e == '[={PAYPAL}]') || ($e == '[={PAYPALEMAIL}]') || ($e == 'zzzezzz') || ($e == 'zzzppezzz') ) $e = $ppe; $redirect = 'Location: '.$url0; Thanks in advance ~Rod PS: I don't code but I do kind of understand what it's doing.

Hi Rod from New Zealand here. I don't actually program but I can kind of follow along with other peoples code. I bought a complete website recently and 2 of the buy now buttons give an error at paypal so I'm just looking around to see if I can learn some PHP and find someone to help me understand what's not working with this site.
