Hi, I have a custom website, using PHP for selling coffee mugs. I have no trouble sending the cart total to PayPal, having the customer pay, and then having PayPal redirect back to my site for a thank you message. But the PHP session objects are destroyed upon return. So I am placing the cusomer info into my database prior to them clicking the PayPal payment button, along with a unique key so I can retrieve it later. I send the unique key (called "pp") to PayPal as a pass-through, but it is not coming back to me via post. Here is the code for my payment button: echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_ext-enter\"> <form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_xclick\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"business\" value=\"xxxl.com\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"custom\" value=\"".$pp."\">"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"amount\" value=\"".$_SESSION['gt']."\">"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"no_shipping\" value=\"1\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item_name\" value=\"Specialty Coffee Mugs\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cancel_return\" value=\"http://www.xxx.com/xxxt.php\"> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"return\" value=\"http://www.xxx.com/xxxou.php\"> <input type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but01.gif\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!\"> </form>"; Then, on the thank you page (the page PayPal directs the customer back to), I attempt to retrieve the variable via the following: $pp=$_POST['custom']; I don't get anything back. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
