hey got my paypal test payments working.  pretty cool.   yay.  ssl integration soon. gansta i tell you gansta.  by the way your meatspin reference was fucking hilarious.  if they cancel payment send em to meatspin ROFL.

By the way I realized the ipn table wasnt filling after each paypal test.  the paypal test itself worked, but no ipn function inputting because when copy paste from your text tutorial the indenting is off.  im not sure why but the process still works but i get no data when i use select * from ipn; in mysql. pretty sure my indentation and code is identical to yours, though i use my email and my domain.    

EDIT:
i think paypal had some changes since you made this tut. now theres an ipn simulator, that you can use to test your ipn stuff.  I think v.zero sdk is express checkout.  A lot of variables are different in the simulator, I think payment_gross payment_fee are now mc_fee, mc_gross .  There's both shipping and mc_shipping .  I dont see any inputs for a3, p3, t3, src, sra at least spelled out.  Gotta do some digging.  Ill let you know of changes and you can post them on the text tutorial.

Also, people are recommending braintrees v.zero sdk express checkout, less manual configuration, less chance for bugs or failed payment process.   Heres relevant links and it doesnt look to difficult to implement compared to IPN handling:
    Braintree v.zero sdk - BEST option :

Awesome to hear you got it figured out! SSL should be a breeze. As for the redirect for cancelled checkouts, I think it's only fair  :P
