PayPal，notify_url从未被执行过

Question

I have a problem at the IPN : the URL entered in the hidden input "notify_url" is never taken in considiration!

When I confirm my payment, I am redirected to my page back (hidden field "return").

What's wrong ?

Thaks.

PS : For the test, I put a simple mail function in the file ipn.php (the URL entered in the hidden input "notify_url")

Answer 1

The notify URL must be accessible from outside - i.e. localhost will not work. The return URL does work on your machine because your browser can access it.
