( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Are you familiar with PayPal's IPN (instant payment notification) system? The idea is that if you have an e-commerce site, and someone chooses to pay via paypal, paypal can notify you when it gets a payment. To help prevent abuse, your payment processing script has to send back an acknowledgment to paypal - this has to contain all the same parameters, IN THE SAME ORDER. If all goes well, you get back a 'verified' signal, and can complete the transaction. Else you know something has gone wrong, etc. But if CGI.pm changed the order of the parameters in the query string, this would cause a problem. At least, I know it would break MY paypal IPN processing script (and probably that of a lot of other people). If you add this feature, I suggest making it a) optional, and b) NOT the default. Thanks!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
