PHP Email

[RegCom]

Hey,

I have a small problem. Let me detail the situation first:

First: The user enter their information for an event registration.

Second: The user click a button which will take them to paypal site where they pay the registration fee.

Third: Paypal send them to a confirmation page back in the site.

I want to use php to send an email to me after they pay the fee with the user information. My problem right now is that I'm using sessions right now but when the user go to paypal site all the session information is lost. So when the return to the site I have no information to send in an email.

Any Suggestion?

Thanks

Best thing to do is have the IPN script add the information to a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. This site provides a good template IPN script that will do everything you want - once you're comfortable with what you're looking at, you can always modify/rewrite how you'd like things to work out.

Wherever you put the script, you have to tell PayPal where it is at so it can post the information to the script on your server.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I had written this on another thread (remember to search for things before you post topics just to cover all of your bases).

I *think* this script might also email you if you specify...if not, follow the same concepts and include a PHP mail script.

Sorry about that. Will check next time.
