    <p>I've been stuck with this for a full day now and this is the longest I've been stuck coding ever. Please Help me.</p> <p>I have the following code, it is a paypal ipn URL used to verify an account on a database. I first connect to sql etc. then get the users information from paypal then get the users information from the database. Before paying, the user should have the value of 'unverified' in the user_level column and if 'unverified' it should be updated. </p> <p>Here is the strange thing that I'm stuck at. The value of user_level is never 'unverified' even though I've checked in the actual database, before running the code, that it is in fact 'unverified'. But when I comment out the mysql_query($u), it gives the value 'unverified'. </p> <p>What is happening is that it seems to be updating the record before the actual code is being called to check whether to update it or not.</p> <p>Please help anybody, I would appreciate it greatly. I </p> <pre><code>$sql_connect = @mysql_connect($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].':3306','root', '******') or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db('4bkk'); $url = 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'; $postFields = 'cmd=_notify-validate'; foreach($_POST as $key =&gt; $value) { $postFields .= "&amp;$key=".urlencode($value); } $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($ch, array( CURLOPT_URL =&gt; $url, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =&gt; true, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER =&gt; false, CURLOPT_POST =&gt; true, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =&gt; $postFields )); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); if($result=='VERIFIED'){ $log = 'Verfied --- '; //get buyers information from PAYPAL checkout $email = $_POST['payer_email']; $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; $amount = $_POST['amount3']; $plan = $_POST['option_selection1']; $q = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$email'"; $data = mysql_query($q); $con = mysql_fetch_array($data); //get buyers information from DATABASE $email2 = $con['email']; $first_name = $con['first_name']; $last_name = $con['last_name']; $active = $con['active']; $user_level = $con['user_level']; $log .= $first_name.' , '.$last_name.' , '.$email2.' , '.$active.' , '.$user_level.' **************** '.$email ; if($email2==$email){ //User already has a record if($user_level=='unverified'){ // User unverified, ready for verification $log .= 'Emails match, and user is VERIFIED'; $u = "UPDATE users SET active='verified', user_level='$plan' WHERE email='$email' LIMIT 1"; $log .= $u; mysql_query($u); } else{ // User is already verified, $log .= 'Emails match, BUT user is NOT VERIFIED'; } } else{ //User doesn't have a record $log .= 'Emails DONT match, execute update here'; } $fh = fopen('result_ipn_test.txt', 'w'); //fwrite($fh, $subject.' --- '.$message); fwrite($fh, $message.' ********** '.$log); fclose($fh); } else echo 'INVALID'; mysql_close(); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
