Paypal IPN Weird

[JohnOP]

Hi im looking for some help on the paypal IPN, i am creating a subscrtiption page on my forums and am having trouble with paypal.

 

Here is the relevant part of the ipn code

 

if ($payment_status=="Completed"){
if ($payment_currency=="USD"){
if ($payment_amount == "$5.00"){


define("IN_MYBB", "1");
require("./global.php");
$db->update_query("users", array("usergroup" => "8"), "`uid` = '$custom'");


}
}
}

 

Now when i run that in the sandbox it works fine and upgrades the account however when i try it with a real payment from the form it doesnt work which is realy weird.

 

					<form action='https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr' method='POST'>
      	<input type='hidden' name='cmd' value='_xclick'>
				<input type='hidden' name='business' value='EMAIL' />
				<input type='hidden' name='item_name' value='MyBB Subscription for USERNAME, [uID]'>
				<input type='hidden' name='custom' value='USERS UID' />
				<input type='hidden' name='image_url' value='' />
				<input type='hidden' name='no_shipping' value='1' />
				<input type='hidden' name='notify_url' value='SITE ADDRESS' />
				<input type='hidden' name='return' value='SITE ADDRESS />
				<input type='hidden' name='cancel_return' value='SITE ADDRESS' />
				<input type='hidden' name='bn' value='PP-SubscriptionsBF' />
				<input type='hidden' name='amount' value='5.00'>
				<input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='USD' />
  <input type='image' src='https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif' border='0' alt='PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!'>
  	  <img alt='' border='0' src='https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif' width='1' height='1'>
    </form>

 

I don't see why it would work in the sandbox and not on the real form any help will be much appreciated.

Im sure Paypal is good.

I'm sure they are also, but I am also as sure that they can point out the problem much faster than ourselves.  Being that A: They know their system, and B: They will get you up and running much faster so they can get some of your money.

Have you definitely set up IPN in your real account? Also, are your return and notify urls correct in your real account?
