echonovember, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0betcha it's not for my skill level. i.e. none.
joehobbes, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I was hoing to see something that will help me build a custom paypal checkout -- the normal Paypal sucks
rYno, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0kinda old - but Zend always has great information.
drewjoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great tutorial, would have helped me out about a month ago. I'm now trying to implement PayPal Website Payments Pro.

jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's some very clean looking PHP.
AbelaJohnB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0oye, is it really necessary to digg 2+ year old articles... come on people!
ArthurSucks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So now I can start my porn site?
tj9991, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You really shouldn't trust paypal, they've closed so many accounts full of money it's not even funny :(
darksydx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0***** me I don't know ***** about the internet.
This article separates the men from the boys.
headswine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Wow! And right when I was working on this... Awesome digg...

xptical, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0PHP is evil. Anyone know how to do this in RUBY?
dtrinh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@Xptical - Ruby is the way of the future, forget about PHP

:P

Nonetheless, good Digg - much better than the norm : Apple, Google, iPod, Apple, Google.
thedifferenz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0no, not Ruby, Perl rules...

I know how to do this in Perl
douthat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5-1 for spaghetti code
-2 for logging into your db as root with no password
-5 for using auto defined variables from the request
-10 for not using password hashes
-50 for 2 sql injection vulnerabilities (what's the point of a password if any idiot can just list all your users?)
-10 for storing your password in a cookie
-5 for doing velocity checks for bad login on the client side

<sarcasm%gt;all in all, it's a pretty worthy php script deserving of being posted on zend.com</sarcasm%gt;
dpknc84, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Finally! Something dealing with code here. Dugg.
lukes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1good point douthat makes about the security of these scripts. the tutorial notes in its conclusion: 'Obviously the scripts should be added upon. Obviously in their current state the scripts are not a complete application...', so please people - if you implement these scripts in your own e-commerce site, make sure to fill the gaps as outlined by douthat.
sainttex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0no! SCREW paypal first and formost, just cough up some money and go with payflow/payflow pro. Zend needs to do some housecleaning.
ianweir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Old as this article may be, thank goodness for it! I had no idea it even existed, and heaven knows I need it. Dugg!
NiX0n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0sure, someone makes a tutorial w/ samples AFTER i make one myself.
rhettnyedotorg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0it's way to easy to say ***** on digg
like this comment for instance
"Now i can finally make my blog members pay per view"
shadowmoses, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0excellent stuff will be put to good use

Slipdisc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I am truly not trolling here but, I wouldnt add paypal to my toilet. I understand folks need a payment system. Trust me, PP is NOT it.

Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Lets all send the goverment friendly messages!
lebensangst, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Great tut. Keep it up! Dugg!
StealthTomato, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Um...dude. You can submit stuff to be processed w/ PayPal just by adding the right hidden forms. It's on the PayPal website.
Philipp_Lenssen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0> -50 for 2 sql injection vulnerabilities

True, true.
MannaPC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wish all these morons would stop posting old zend tutorials!!!

Idiots!!!
serra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm shocked that there isn't more "paypal sucks" comments, since it really does suck. Those bastids.

v3xt0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2PayPal Sucks! =)
Nidobolt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm with the other three or four other people. Paypal sucks. Do a google search about it, see for yourself.
gator99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is the old news, ancient history IPN garbage. They have an actual API now, it's become the more preferable way to integrate paypal.
ReiToei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The article is nearly 3 years old, and the code is ***** terrible. No Digg.
harder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0PHP sucks. Use a real (i.e. compiled) language like C#. No Digg.
maheshmg, on 11/20/2007, -0/+0hello
sureshnsnguys, on 05/20/2008, -0/+0Nice one
