Paypal IPN

I have written this but for some reason $fp returns HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

I have no idea why this would happen. Is there something wrong?

$req = 'cmd=_notify-validate';

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
	$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
	$req .= "&$key=$value";
}

// post back to PayPal system to validate
$header .= "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen ('www.paypal.com', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);




$message = $req;

if (!$fp) {
	// HTTP ERROR

	
} else {
	
	fputs ($fp, $header . $req);


	
	while (!feof($fp)) {


		$res = fgets ($fp, 1024);

		if (strcmp ($res, "VERIFIED") == 0) {

			
			$match = array();
			$result = $req;


			$invoice = $_POST['invoice'];

			preg_match('/txn_id=([^&]*)/', $result, $transmatch);
			$transid = $transmatch[1];
			preg_match('/mc_gross=([^&]*)/', $result, $pricematch);
			$price = $pricematch[1];


			

			order_process($invoice,$transid,'Paypal');


		} else if (strcmp ($res, "INVALID") == 0) {

			

		}
	}
	fclose ($fp);
}

PHP:

 

Anyone able to see ?

 

It looks fine to me.

The only difference mine has is that I have an error handling function:

if(!$fp) {

$last_error = "fsockopen error no. $errnum: $errstr";
return false;
}

PHP:

 

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

Makes no sense. Ah. I dont see why it is there.

 

Just a shot in the dark here. Shouldn't:

be https://www.paypal.com. For the secure server?

 

That's what I thought as well, but the script I use passes only the www version and it works fine. It sounds like the server isn't allowing incomming data or something similar. Might check the firewall if there is one.

 

You might try testing with another service just to identify the problem.

This one has worked well for me in the past. Belahost IPN Testing Environment

Some scripts have problems with PayPal in test mode.

 

Try adding this under the POST header

$header .= "Host: www.paypal.com\r\n";

PHP:

Try echoing the complete header and see if it contains the expected content.

Or use some good code instead .....

 

My code is good... it just doesnt work. Man I wasted my 1000th post on that. pfff I wanted to say something meaningful and wise...

The crow only flies down the wicker path, yet the antellope will plunder through the grove.

Think about it
