Chronoforms 5 Paypal IPN notify_url issue

sbsi 02 Nov, 2016
I have been struggling for the past couple of days working with PayPal redirect (Full) and IPN on my sandbox and everything work except that I never receive an IPN answer from Paypal. After multiple attemps, I decided to put the Paypal Redirect in Debug Mode to see if my notify_url was OK and I noticed that instead of passing ...¬ify_url=... to paypal, the code seems to pass ... ¬ify_url=... (replacing the "not" in "notify" by the ¬ symbol (not)) .... is that the source of my issue ... here is the Paypal redirect debug output :

https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=info%40sbsica.com&no_shipping=1&no_note=1&return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.massotherapeutes.qc.ca%2Findex.php%2Fpaiement-complete¤cy_code=CAD&item_name=Depot+pour+reservation+de+cours&quantity=1&amount=40.00&first_name=Serge&last_name=Bigras&address1=90+Pinsonneault&city=La+Prairie&state=Quebec&zip=J5R6C6&country=Canada&night_phone_a=%2B1%28514%29447-2238&cancel_return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.massotherapeutes.qc.ca%2Findex.php%2Fpaiement-annule¬ify_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.massotherapeutes.qc.ca%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_chronoforms5%26chronoform%3DInscriptionSansOuverture%26event%3Dipn&

Thanks !

Hi sbsi,

Yes, that is clearly causing a problem but I have no idea why that replacement is taking place. It's not something that I have experienced, or seen reported here before :-(

The html entity is ¬ with the semi-colon at the end, I don't know why urlencoding would encode ¬ without the semicolon.

Thanks for the quick response but I figured it out ... It had nothing to do with the "not" symbol but rather a mistant in the cancel_return syntax ....

Everything works now ....

Will open a new topic because now that I do receive the IPN notification, I want to save it to the DB for that form and following the FAQ does not seem to work.
