    Hi,

    I've gone through the mailing list archives on digitalpoint.com, and
    searched through the forum archives here, and can't find a simple
    answer to the proper setup procedure, and subsequent daily processing
    procedure, for using Paypal as a payment method for clients.

    There was a post that said there were fields needed edited in the
    paypal.php file loaded with the web files, and I've edited that to the
    extent I was able to discern what needed changing (the post from
    Shawn said you would need to edit the file, but didn't say what
    needed editing).

    I have Paypal payments hitting the script, however I'm getting the
    error that it failed to be inserted into Optigold (no mention of
    why, contrary to another post Shawn made indicating the error
    code should be in the failure message).

    So, I'm asking for someone to perhaps walk me through the process
    both in setup, and then in how the customers should pay me
    (do they simply initiate a payment through Paypal?).

    Shawn -- there is NO information in the manual posted at
    www.digitalpoint.com -- so please if you can post a simple setup
    and daily processing routine set of instructions so we can
    get this set up. I don't mind reading the docs... but in this case,
    there's just no instruction list anywhere.

    thanks,
    tom

    Have you checked the normal stuff? That your key you set in your paypal.php file matches exactly the one in Optigold, etc.?

    Yes, the key matches. I've set up as much as I was able to determined *needed* setting up before I posted. Honestly, there is nothing in the docs, and only a few messages on the old mail list archives on how to do this. No where are there any clear instructions.

    To be honest, I'm not really sure... it's always "just worked".

    Try changing this line:

    mail($paypal_email, "PayPal Transaction Failed", "A request to insert a PayPal transaction into Optigold ISP failed because it could not be validated by PayPal.\n\nRequest was from: " . $REMOTE_ADDR);
    PHP:
    to this:

    mail($paypal_email, "PayPal Transaction Failed", "A request to insert a PayPal transaction into Optigold ISP failed because it could not be validated by PayPal.\n\nRequest was from: " . $REMOTE_ADDR ."\n\nresult = $result");
    PHP:
    that will show you the output from Optigold at least.
