Paypal IPN : Custom Fields ?

    I'm using the Paypal integration class my micah carrick.

    I can't get the code in blue to work. Where am i going wrong ?

    What i aim to accomplish is :

    User will buy hits from my website, and after validating the IPN , the hits will be added to the database.

    <?php

/*  PHP Paypal IPN Integration Class Demonstration File
 *  4.16.2005 - Micah Carrick, email@micahcarrick.com
 *
 *  This file demonstrates the usage of paypal.class.php, a class designed  
 *  to aid in the interfacing between your website, paypal, and the instant
 *  payment notification (IPN) interface.  This single file serves as 4 
 *  virtual pages depending on the "action" varialble passed in the URL. It's
 *  the processing page which processes form data being submitted to paypal, it
 *  is the page paypal returns a user to upon success, it's the page paypal
 *  returns a user to upon canceling an order, and finally, it's the page that
 *  handles the IPN request from Paypal.
 *
 *  I tried to comment this file, aswell as the acutall class file, as well as
 *  I possibly could.  Please email me with questions, comments, and suggestions.
 *  See the header of paypal.class.php for additional resources and information.
