the string I get back from Paypal doesn't have that email address...
just transaction id, "completed", amount & item number.
ah, yes,forgot to mention that. You can generate your own order # for
the transaction and give it to paypal, and they will give it back to you.
You can follow this chain:
1) Insert a row into your customer-pdf table, with a flag indicating it
is not complete
2) Pull the id from the row and hand it to Paypal as the order #
3) When the IPN comes back you use the ID # to know what customer and
pdf are involved, and you can get any customer information from your
customer file.
Or just email the purchasers email address (obtained through paypal)
the
.pdf.

This might be off topic as well...but I have a PHP app that submits
to
Paypal and then on the "thank you" page, I provide a link to a PDF
that
they bought.
The server is Unix based, and before submitting the sale, I collect
various information about the user, and then when the transaction
is
complete, I get a unique transaction ID from Paypal.
What's the easiest, quickest way to provide some level of
complexity to
the downloads so that people can't just go back into the directory
and
download every PDF without paying? It doesn't have to be 100%
secure
but should be secure enough to keep out "most" people.
I've been looking into .htaccess but wondering if that's overkill
and
there isn't some way to authenticate against my DB information
before
allowing the download?
