Email Paypal Help

How can I track the number of people who cancelled their subscriptions via paypal? I want to remove them from the paid user list once they cancel their paypal subscription automatically. I know paypal sends us emails once people cancel. Is there a way that we can have php decipher through those emails to cancel people automatically from the mysql database? or is there an easier way to do it?

I would use IPN, Instant Payment Notification. It is available for business accounts (still free), and it calls a URL to notify you of account changes.

You will have to go to the PayPal developer resources, but there is excellent code and support there.

Good luck

You can access emails with php and then extract the info but using the ipn would be better.

Doing a search for php paypal ipn brings up several options for code you can work with.

[edit]I think this is the paypal page - https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCe..._pro_home.html[/edit]
