PayPal

I am coding something that needs PayPal integration ... I don't know whether I should use IPN or PDT. Also what I need is they fill out my form which has like their username, real name, email, team members and etc. I need that to be put into a database after the paypal transaction is complete. How would I do this?

hey, this is very complicated, well, it was for me anyway, i went around it alittle different.

I got the client to fill out a form with all the details, then put it in a database, at the same time i generated a random ID and took there IP Address, the table was then marked with a STAGE OF 0

The client would then go through the paypal process then come back to my website onto a completion page, where i would then take the random ID out of a cookie, and match it to the database with the IP and if there was one matching a STAGE OF 0, i then update the table to a STAGE OF 1 = active.

Its a pretty simple way to do it, it works great for me.

PayPal IPN AND PDT just didnt cut it for me

Good idea PaulOr. I will do that but with IPN

let me know how it goes

Instead of using a cookie you can pass it though one of the unused variables that PayPal allows you to use. You may wish to visit the PayPal IPN Development Forums and read the IPN Manual before proceeding.
