PayPal Redirect Issue

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

When I have my paypal button set so that is redirects to http://empiremarketing.ca/order.php,it works just fine. But when I change the redirect URL to something like: http://empiremarketing.ca/order.php?link=7, it all of a sudden does not work. How can I fix this?

I did not create this page, but I am trying to get it to work so that it redirects to this page: http://empiremarketing.ca/order.php?link={$redirlink}

I know there is supposed to be some magic happening, but it is not. Any ideas?

Here is the page PHP code:
Code: <?php
$newprice = $_GET['np'];
$ordertotal = $_GET['tt'];
$redirlink = $_GET['redir'];

require_once ("config.php");
$con = mysql_connect($hostname, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
$select = mysql_select_db ($selectdb, $con) or die(mysql_error());

$update = "UPDATE linkcount SET price = '$newprice' WHERE id = 1";
$result = mysql_query($update, $con) or die (mysql_error());

#Create PHP Session for the number of link boxes to be shown after paypal payment
session_start();
session_register();
$_SESSION['link_number'] = $redirlink;
?>
