Better idea! I'm just going to limit access with 0 credits if they did not buy any (cancelled) or run out then when they login it takes them to purchase page. That's all they can access then.
Thanks for the inspiration...

Suggestions? You can ask paypal to send a confirmation request after a successful transaction (an IPN or 'instant payment notification'), so I would create the user account as per usual, but flag it as 'unconfirmed', paypal will include the email address in the IPN request, which you can use to look up the user record and update it as confirmed. cheers, J -- jon bennett - www.jben.net - blog.jben.net Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
