    Hi guys,

    I am about to sell an ebook and I want to provide a download page to which buyers return from paypal and get to download the ebook. In addition after they download the program en email will be sent to me to confirm the download.

    Of course I want only the buyer to have access to the download page, so I guess some kind of a random password or special code will need to be deliver to them so they can access the page, or the file.

    Although I have experience in working with php, this is a project I have not done in the past, so I'll appreciate if you can tell me where to start or direct me to some good resources in this subject.

    Thanks a lot

    Search for IPN in Paypal ...... You will get a lead over there . You need to do some scripting though ....
