I have a php script working (brand new) where the customer says they want 1, 2 or 3 bundles of rhubarb, 5 lbs each. I get their name and email then they select the day and time to come pick up their order - covid-19, separation, masks, etc. - [ You have asked to buy X bundles for $Y.yy ], they click [ Buy Now ] and they're taken to PayPal. They complete the order and are sent back to my script purret.php That script updates my Mysql DB that they have paid - then sends them to a thank you page.
Problem: I get 2 PP returns to purret.php. One has an array(42) with the information i need/want and a second return of array(0).
In my code I have a "input type=hidden", in PP at profile-ipn-notify I have IPN set to Yes and in PP at preferences/website I have auto-return set to yes. All three pointing to my url purret.php. If I remove the "input" line, set either of the PP configs to No, I get nothing and the customer is not returned to my site. I guess my paranoia is that the second IPN could **bleep** things up.
Do I have a problem? or should I just program if (array.size == 0) exit;
Thanks

... and with that I figured it out - IPN is one thing and Auto Return is another and thou shalt not combine - is no-no
