Everytime i make a sale (CB, Paypal etc.) i get a msg on MSN + "Cha-Ching" sound :)

    i am proud of myself because i did some PHP hacking.

    I first tested with POP3 emails checkers, checking my email evey 5 mins whether certain payment mails arrived - but all those programs were flakey and didnt work right.

    Now i did the following, which is far better...sending me a MSG on MSN with a loud "cha-ching" sound in real time everytime someone purchases any of my products.

    I got me
    http://www.fanatic.net.nz/2005/02/15/send-a-message-using-php/

    SendMsg.zip which is a bunch of simple PHP scripts.

    I use DLGuard for all my products and sites with one central installation of DLGuard. (Btw. highly, highly recommended :)

    Now DLGuard has an option for a "custom script" to be executed at every successfull sale. I use a .PHP file, say "notification.php" which is based on the "ipnexxample.php" which comes with DLGuard.


    Instead of the line where he sends an email in the .PHP file i added
    (after i installed sendMsg on my server):

    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    include('../YOUR-PATH-WHERE-SENDMSG-IS-AT/sendMsg.php');
    $sendMsg = new sendMsg();
    $sendMsg->simpleSend('mymsnaccount@whatever.net', 'myMSNpassword', 'mywatchdogMSNaccount@live.com',$emailBody);


    So..i created a new MSN account "mywatchdogMSNaccount"...and i log in with this on MSN on the PC at home. I added my real MSN account "mymsnaccount@whatever.net" as contact.

    this (my real msn account) is the MSN account the script logs into MSN and sends the message from the server.

    Sounds complicated, it's not.

    So everytime i get a sale a MSG pops up on my "mywatchdog" MSN account which runs on my PC at home....and the server sends me a MSN message, and i customized the sound to a nice "cha-ching.wav" sound everytime i receive a message. The message also has all details like what product, what payment processor (clickbank, paypal etc...)

    :)

    On CB for now i only have the "One Grand" book...with the "ebook profits" book going there soon also.

    But i routed many of my other products through DLGuard now and can do the "trick" with MSN messenger :)
