    I'm using a PHP script and am adding a Paypal link, so when the user/purchaser returns to the PHP script he is routed to a protected page that only users who have made the payment can access.

    Can someone help me with the protected page part?
    Some clues, any help would be appreciated.

    I think the most safe way for your customers is to use sessions. Google will sort you out. Correct me if I'm wrong guys :)

    I don't know specifically with paypal, but if you were just making a protected page for members, you would use sessions and utilize code like this...

    <?php
    database connection info

    session_start();
    if (session_is_registered(session_key)) {
    echo 'PAGE CODE HERE'
    }
    else {
    echo 'You must be logged in to view this page.';
    }
    ?>

    Hope this helps, but as I said, I am not positive for use specifically with paypal.
