possible first and last name?

 

 

i dunno how much info sellers are given of the buyers but anyway....

okay so as far as i can understand it looking at this page here: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_IPNandPDTVariables

 

i dont need to ask my buyers to insert any personal details but instead i just request the info on my notify url page by doing this:

 

$REQUEST['first_name']

 

 

am i understanding this correctly?
