Paypal_lib issue - Orders are always invalid - El Forum - 03-08-2009
[eluser]Andrew K[/eluser]
I've been working on a website that will be used for online ordering. As such, I found the paypal_lib plugin for CI (http://codeigniter.com/wiki/PayPal_Lib/) which was very easy and great to work with... however, there's been an issue.
Every order that I attempt (that is, using the Paypal Sandbox), will return "invalid". I checked the paypal IPN log and it seems that all of the variables are being passed properly, but I still receive an "INVALID" during the IPN response.
I opened the log in VIM to view it and saw that the parameters didn't have any ^M in them (which signifies a \r). This leads me to possibly believe that perhaps CI is stripping the \r from the content, perhaps.
I'll be testing a few more things, but does anyone happen to have any clues or ideas?
Thanks for any help!

Right, that's the library I've been using
I am having an issue where it is always returning INVALID within the responses

Have you read about the fixes on the Wiki? http://codeigniter.com/wiki/PayPal_Lib/. Looks like it might fix your problem.

Yup, did all of those fixes, except the last one. I didn't do the last fix/adjustment because I am not receiving a HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect, but I'll try that adjustment now to see if it somehow might be affecting my responses.

Solved!
Seems that it was my own folly by not following every step in the Wiki. It seems the last step is quite cruicial
The URL you provide the paypal_lib is NOT used as the URL that it receives the IPN response from. I was expecting the URLs to be the same and that's where I was completely wrong!
Thanks for everyone's help.

Glad you got it sorted. At least now I know to ensure I follow the whole Wiki article next week when I start using the library.

Ooh, one more thing... Please could you post/attach the modified library? It may save someone some copying and pasting. I know the changes are simple, but it saves anyone making mistakes.
