Hi everyone.

I'm working in a project and i needed to handle the payment process but at the internet the documentation and libraries to do this are in most cases complicated.

You gave me a lot to make my job easier so here I made this library for you.

This PayPal library is build entirely for CodeIgniter but you can adapt it to any framework if needed. NOTE: It's documented at the top of the file

Please feel free to make any modification according to your needs and if you find this library useful, Please share it with people you know that need this .

Hey Romyblack,

I really like your paypal library, its cool and pretty easier even for a novice like me. I was wondering if you could help me to figure out some questions. I do love your paypal library its just i have some few questions regarding updating my database. If it does not take too much of your time though..

I am using your library for client's project and of course it involves Paypal apparently. I have successfully made a payment through sandbox and I am happy with the result.

Question:

If the payer has successfully made a payment, how would I record it into the database? I know how to use the model and of course I know how to work with the database its just that, If the payer has made the payment how would I know if its successful or not, If the user has made a payment but did not click the return page link from paypal to my website how would I catch all the items he purchased and record it to my database?

Could you look at this code logic

Code:

Class Purchase_item extends CI_Controller{

/*This will trigger to purchase item and go to paypal page*/
public function do_purchase(){

}

/* I want to update my database for the item that the payer had just purchased an item*/
public function success_payment(){
//Codes here to update the database of all the items that the user just purchased including the invoice number
}

/*Cancel payment*/
public function cancel_payment(){

}
}

Could you give an example on how to do it with your state of the art coding techniques?
I am looking forward to hear from you soon :-D

Many many Thanks,

thanks for the library. been trying to get this to work, but when i do a test run in paypal sandbox, arrays don't display in the $config['return'] page. i noticed the $config['notify_url'] = 'process_payment.php'. what does that file look like?

I'm sorry i came so late to see this message, if it helps you, in the library you have to pass the URL in wich Paypal notifies you when a payment have been made. What i usually do is that i save the purchase into the database with a status [unpaid] and send that ID to Paypal, then when Paypal notifies me that the payment has been done i update the status of the payment as payed or done. Sorry again for the lateness.
