custom variables

[princeofpersia]

Hi guys, i have a ipn paypal setup where users can buy items from my custom made shop, however in original ipn code, the logged in users should have the same email with paypal to call on ipn which user has bought what, so I have decided to pass a custome variable as

 

<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="<?php echo "$username";">

 

the hard part is in my ipn how im i going to recieve the username variable? what should i put in my ipn. In ipn code I have example code:

 

$item_name = $_POST['item_name'];
$item_number = $_POST['item_number'];
$payment_status = $_POST['payment_status'];
$payment_amount = $_POST['mc_gross'];
$payment_currency = $_POST['mc_currency'];
$txn_id = $_POST['txn_id'];
$receiver_email = $_POST['receiver_email'];
$payer_email = $_POST['payer_email'];

 

but now, can u help me to recieve the username so i can match my mysql query which user has bought what?

 

thanks in advance
