Paypal multiple IPN's

	 * This is a PayPal IPN (Instant Payment Notification) broadcaster
	 * Since PayPal does not provide any straightforward way to add
	 * multiple IPN listeners we'll have to create a central IPN
	 * listener that will broadcast (or filter and dispatch) Instant
	 * Payment Notifications to different destinations (IPN listeners)
         *
	 * http://codeseekah.com/2012/02/11/how-to-setup-multiple-ipn-receivers-in-paypal/
         *
	 * Destination IPN listeners must not panic and recognize IPNs sent
	 * by this central broadcast as valid ones in terms of source IP
	 * and any other fingerprints. Any IP filtering must add this host,
	 * other adjustments made as necessary.
	 *
	 * IPNs are logged into files for debugging and maintenance purposes
         *
         * this code comes with absolutely no warranty

Wouldn’t it be safer and easier to just issue a 302/303 redirect instead of re-sending the data using curl?

Hey there.

I really need this but I am pretty green at this sort of stuff. So one BIG question. Can I delete this :

if ( /* My Store IPN Fingerprint _/
preg_match( '#^\d+|[a-f0-9]{32}$#', $POST['custom'] ) / Custom hash _/
and $POST['num_cart_items'] == 2 / alwayst 1 item in cart _/
and strpos( $POST['item_name1'], 'MySite.com Product' ) == 0 / First item name /
) $urls []= $ipns['mystore']; / Choose this IPN URL if all conditions have been met */

if ( /* My Other Store IPN Fingerprint */
    sizeof( explode('_', $_POST['custom']) ) == 7 /* has 7 custom pieces */
) $urls []= $ipns['myotherstore']; /* Choose this IPN URL if all conditions have been met */

AND JUST KEEP THIS ONE BELOW AND DUPLICATE IT FOR EACH IPN? :

/* My Other And Better Store IPN Fingerprint _/
$custom = explode('|', $POST['custom']);
if (
isset($custom[2]) and $custom[2] == 'FROM_OB_STORE' / custom prefixes /
) $urls []= $ipns['myotherandbetterstore']; / Choose this IPN URL if all conditions have been met */

/* ... */


/* Broadcast */

Thanks in advance even if you get this....

That worked great! Thank you!

Hi, can i ask the procedure on where to put that code in my wordpress server? My problem is, i have a LIST on my mailchimp wherein after purchasing thru paypal, the details(especially email) of the customer will be added to the list of subscribers on mailchimp. But then i have 2 lists and the problem is, paypal only allows 1 IPN. Can you help me on this?? I badly need your help :(
