Hello everyone.
I'd like to ask you a question about Paypal library.
I read the user guide carefully but it seems to be difficult for a newbie like me since it has no examples.
I just want to make a function like 'run a sql query after paying successfully'.
Please show me an example or something like that.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using Paypal IPN: the way it works is that when someone makes a payment, Paypal will call a URL on your site (that you have to specify first ) and have some parameters in the URL that allow to you identify which payment was paid.

Since you will not be making the payment, that URL just sits and waits until PP calls it. When this happens, you run your query to update your DB

Sorry I do not have a reply to your question but I am asking a question regarding the same topic.

It seems on paypal you can only set one IPN url in your account, what if I own multiple market sites?

When creating a button to place on your site you can define a new IPN address in the advance tab. This is done in your Paypal account.

If your buttons are created dynamically then something like this maybe.

<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="URL of your store's "notify" page" />

aha, I found the example included in the paypal lib package Smile

but it seems to have some small bugs

Code:
$this->view('paypal/form', $data);

should be

Code:
$this->load->view('paypal/form', $data);

and ..

Code:
$this->view('paypal/cancel');

should be

Code:
$this->load->view('paypal/cancel');

Code:
$this->view('paypal/success', $data);

should be

Code:
$this->load->view('paypal/success', $data);

I stopped receving errors when make these changes.
Please correct me if Im wrong.
Thank you guys so much.
