It seems that IPN is the best choice for an online merchant system with PayPal. In order to test the system I have taken the advice to set up a sandbox first.

I seem to be having some problems with doing this. First of all, there is a list of types to pick:

http://www.arguemax.com/sandbox/sandbox%20001.jpg

From this list, I picked "Web Accept".

This page asks for the "IPN handler URL". I assume this is supposed to be the URL of the page that we set up that to be used as the location where PAYPAL sends confirmation to and the page has PHP and MYSQL script to put a confirmation in the database.

Anyway, I got an error message:

http://www.arguemax.com/sandbox/sandbox%20002.jpg

Did I do something wrong or is it the fault of the sandbox?

The return script is http://www.arguemax.com/paypalistener.php and pulling it up in the browser shows no error and so it must compiling correctly.

When I pull the headers for your script I get:

#1 Server Response: http://www.arguemax.com/paypalistener.php
HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:56:34 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: close
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.4
Content-Length: 0


That is where the Internal Server 500 is coming from. Compare your script to the script generator at the below URL:

https://www.paypaltech.com/SG2

Go there and create a php script then compare it to yours.
