Hi all,

I was wondering if it would be possible to POST variables to a url with a variable after the file name? For example:

POST to [url]www.example.com/process.php?id=1[/url]

?

I’m asking because I have two PayPal accounts that use IPN (Instant Payment Notifications) to POST transaction variables to handler files located at a url I specify in my PayPal account. If the above works I would only need one handler file, reducing any redundancy caused by duplicate code!

Thanks!

@ZnupiJul 16.2008 — Yup, it works, for example:
[code=html]<form action="someScript.php?someVar=someValue" method="post">
<input type="text" name="someInput">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>[/code]
Would work as expected ?

Semi-offtopic: any good tutorials on how to do payments through paypal? Or should I simply read all the documentation they provide?

I do the same exact thing for my IPN script.

@ Znupi

I went with the documentation the developer center provided. Theres some some sample code up there as well that you can easily modify ?
