- }
- }
- fclose ($fp);
- }
- ?>
payment gets paid and data's are transferred to the notify_url.
I checked it by writing all the output data's into a text file.
but when the payment is complete the payment_status is "Pending" when it returns to the notify_url.
it gets changed to "Confirmed" only when i log in to my paypal test account and accept the payment.
why that it so happen..
i need to update my database when payment is completed and issue the user a receipt that he had done the booking successfully.
Can i proceed when payment_status is "Pending".
or what should i do.
thanks
regards
