I used to be amazing at PHP.  I haven't used it for months.  ~_~ After all of that is done, and it returns to my website, how are you saying that I will still have the variables?  Should I make the link to my site something like: http://mydomain.ext/thankyou.php?get=<?= urlencode ('' . $buyerEmailVar . ',' . $itemTransID . '') ?> So that when it goes to my site, a "Thank You" message is displayed, and in the code there would be: <?php $headers = "From: addr@domain.ext\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n"; $subject = 'Your order has been received.'; $get = $_GET['get']; $get = urldecode ($get); $stuff = explode (',', $get); $buyerEmail = $stuff[0]; $transID = $stuff[1]; $body = '<b>Thank you for your order!</b><br /><br /><strong>Transaction ID:</strong> ' . $transID . '<br />To check the status of your order, go to the link below:<br /><a href="http://mydomain.ext/order.php?ID=' . md5 ($transID) . '">Order Status</a><br /><br /><small>MySite Staff</small>'; mail ($buyerEmail, $subject, $body, $headers); ?>

Alright.  So I would have a list of items and next to each an image with that form.  Alright. And the PHP code posted would go on the page defined in <input type="hidden" name="return" value="xxx" />?

Sorry, I really suck with all this IPN stuff.  >_> Can you direct me to a link to the guide on the IPN stuff?  Or can you post a code example that you use maybe?

Thank you for your help (except for the first poster who's a troll :-D). What is the PayPal developer site?  dev.paypal.com or something?

Hello all.  I want to create a page in PHP that shows a basket of items currently selected by the user (a shopping cart) and then it allows the user to check out and send the payment to a PayPal address already set in the code.  After the payment is sent, I want an e-mail to automatically be sent to the user and also to the administrator, notifying that the order has been received (to the buyer) and that a new order has been placed (to the administrator). Thanks,   --  Mike

Nah, dude. `yourTable` is the name of the SQL table that this data is stored in. `yourDate` is the field of your table that the date is in.
