I need a paypal subscription button that is able to $_POST back two variables: paypal e-mail address and if it is a subscription or cancellation of subscription. How can I do that? I do not have enough experience with paypal..
Take a look into PayPal IPN. IPN stands for Instant Payment Notification, and it posts the variables back to your listener script, so that you can utilise the details. Take a look at http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/using-paypals-instant-payment-notification-with-php/
