My question is: Is there another way to do this? I need to check whether or not they have been to paypal and bought a product. After there credit card has been approved they click on a link to go to thankyou.php for there username and password. Any Suggestions besides don't use PayPal?
Have you asked PayPal if there is some kind of data that they can send as either Post or Get data to confirm the transaction? If they go so far as to provide a redirection back to your web page, it shouldn't be that hard. Perhaps the redirection back to your web page (however it is implemented, I have no idea) could be exploited to do this. What do you do, provide them a link or something? Put some GET data in the link. Guess I really don't know too much about PayPal, sorry. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H. Brown pricee@hhbrown.com
