Sam,

I don't think Dani was suggesting that you build your own PHP interpreter 
(although it's not hard to compile it from source for custom needs). If I 
understood him correctly he was merely hinting at the option to download a 
prebuilt binary with cURL support baked in, for example.

Hi Dani,

Thanks for the response.

I don’t know nearly enough about php to be able to build my own 
interpreter. I think I’m going in a different direction than php.

Thank you again,

Sam

Hi Sam,

It looks like PayPal’s IPN uses REST calls.

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/ 


Have you look at 4D’s “HTTP Request” command?
https://doc.4d.com/4Dv17R5/4D/17-R5/HTTP-Request.301-4127751.en.html 


That's the command I use for REST calls to a server.

Hi Sam, you don’t have to use 4D’s PHP. You can install your own version of the 
PHP interpreter and call that through the command line. I had to do that due to 
having a requirement of a specific version of PHP. Works quite well.

Hi,

I am looking for a solution to taking paypal payments on our website (which is 
served by a 4D Server database), which utilizes paypal's Instant Payment 
Notification (IPN) system.

To clarify, our system is already set up to take paypal payments but we get no 
notification from paypal that a payment was made. The only way we know that we 
received a payment is when we see the payment in our paypal account. We then 
have to manually create the necessary database records for the transaction, 
based on the payment. 

So we need paypal to notify us when a successful payment is received by them so 
that we can automate the process (as we do with credit cards).

Here is what we want to do:

Upon receiving a payment for our product, paypal will send an IPN (containing 
transation data) to a url specified by us, where we have a listener set up (in 
OWC) to intercept that notification and execute a file which receives the data, 
returns it to paypal, and then receives either a VERIFIED or INVALID response 
from paypal. If VERIFIED, we use the transaction data to auto-generate the 
required records in our database.

The file I just mentioned can be written in php, js, coldfusion, perl, ruby, 
etc. Paypal provides examples for each language on github.

So, I tried for weeks to implement the php version, only to find out (through 
partner support) that 4D's php interpreter is not set up to handle cURL 
functions, which are part of the php code in paypal's php sample...

So now I'm trying to work with javascript and not having much success (although 
more than with php) and I thought I'd put some feelers out there... Seems to me 
as though there has to be a commercial 4D website/database (or two!) out there 
that sells products online and takes paypal payments using paypal's IPN. If 
that is the case, I'm willing to PAY for time, advice, code, etc., so PLEASE 
contact me if you think you can assist, and thanks in advance.
