PHP and Paypal

Recommended Posts

Hey all,
I've been all over online looking for some good paypal/php tutorials and couldn't really what I was looking for. Here is what I want to do:
-User comes into the system and has to make a donation
-Makes a donation through paypal
-Completes the payment through paypal
-Script updates my database with the amount

I know I can do this my making a success script, but that only works if the user clicks "return to merchant" which if you close your browser out, it will not update the database.

I know that you can do it, but I haven't found any real good references.

Any ideas or help?

Thanks,
-Chris

Check out the documentation over at the PayPal Developer site, I can't remeber the exact URL but I think it's something like http://developer.paypal.com or something. You are looking for information on PayPals IPN (Instant Payment Notification) system.

as far as I know to build paypal systems, you have to have access to that users password, if someone was making a donation to someone's email address, you have to have there username and password for paypal, that is the way I have had to do it with 2 clients they werne't too happy about it, but I seemed to have had no choice.  www.moondancedesign.com that entire paypal system was set up, using paypal, they auto generate the stuff, but you have to have access to that person's paypal account, that is the only way I know to do it, if there is another way then it's probably better, but maybe that is something to think about.  In there paypal account you just go to help, and there is information about setting up a paypal shopping cart, or whatever else there.

chris, check out the steps to set up [url=https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_help&nodeid=25201&leafid=2431&prior_transaction_id=357466&answer_id=16777217]IPN (Instant Payment Notification)[/url] for your paypal account. using this feature, you can have an IPN script that paypal will hit with every successful transaction, and you cna update your database with the information paypal provides during that post. this way, you update your information at the time the transaction takes place, and you don't have to rely on the user to do anything additional.

this is the way i have set up several sites to receive paypal membership payments and activate the membership as soon as the user has successfully paid.

hope this helps

<?php
$dbconn = @mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');

Hey, Thanks guys. I knew that paypal had the IPN system, but I never really worked with it before. I saw that zend tutorial, but I was looking for something a little simpler. I signed up as a paypal developer so that I can have sandbox accounts. I guess I just have to jump in right?

Do you guys have any advise in what works and what doesn't?

Thanks again,
-Chris

Ok, here is what I got...

donations table:
CREATE TABLE `donations` (
`id` BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`UID` BIGINT NOT NULL ,
`item_name` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL ,
`item_number` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL ,

`payment_amount` TEXT NOT NULL ,
`payment_currency` TEXT NOT NULL ,
`txn_id` LONGTEXT NOT NULL ,
`receiver_email` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL ,
`payer_email` MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL ,
INDEX ( `id` )
) ENGINE = MYISAM ;

I have a donations part in the users table also.

In my sandbox account I went to Profile>Instant Payment Notification> I enabled it and used http//www.URL to script/ipn.php as the URL and saved it. The payments are going in and out of the right accounts as they should, but it's not updating the database. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

not sure how i can see it being illegal.

chris:  paypal's documentation on the IPN system is very handy, provided you know where to look.  the appendix on what you can/can't send to paypal, and consequently what it sends back after rebuilding the POST request to them, is EXTREMELY useful.  you can essentially send the pertinent info (username, id, whatever) in with the payment info, and it's sent back to you.

i began with paypal's example code for PHP in their documentation/technical breakdown of IPN, and extended from there.  they give you the base with which to accept paypal's info, send back to them, and receive the results.  you should be able to use this returned info to then figure out which user donated, how much, whether it was successful, and consequently whether or not to activate them.  it's mostly a matter of getting the server communication working (ie. sending the info back to them upon notification, and receiving the results of the payment after this).

i just realized i hashed out a repeat of obsidian.  however, i have one addendum:  ALWAYS make a manual activation function, so that any Paypal issues can be resolved manually if necessary.  it's inevitable that you get someone making a mistake, or your client being dumb, and a payment goes awry and requires some manual fixing.

sorry if this is actually no help to you - i just wanted to mention that starting from paypal's example PHP code is a good idea.  the rest of it is database work, tantamount to writing any other script.
