    i have been doing some little research on the php payment thing ..

    after trying to implement it in a "shopping cart" shopping cart with the help of paypal .. as an admin i get a notification from paypal .. and i get a notification via email

    that is two notifications as a website administrator ...


    now back to the trying to setup a pay for membership or pay for website registration

    if the theoritical setup goes smoothly .. i get a notification from paypal ..

    then i can validate the user in my database as an administrator ....

    thats my struggle with php and payment so far ...

    You're better off using a CMS rather than coding from scratch. Some people use Wordpress, but it's terrible for securing content. You're better off looking up something like Drupal, which has excellent access control and frameworks for paid membership. Stop by Drupal.org and start reading up, especially in the modules section.

    You should be able to use the Ubercart module to automate it all (Ubercart validates the payment for you).

    You don't have to call it a cart. You can customise Drupal to a very high degree.

    You can do it with WordPress and a membership plugin like DigitalAccessPass.com (DAP).

    It's not true that your content is insecure if you use WordPress. It can be completely and totally locked down from un-authorized members/buyers.
