Re: User id in afterPaypalNotification

You can't use sessions, Paypal is talking to your site, not the user.
Once the user leaves for paypal they complete the purchase then paypal
takes over and communicates to your application via a POST to the url
you define. So to get user data I'd suggest passing in what you want
passed back.

For example you can pass in a user_id in with the item_number key.

$this->Paypal->button('Pay Now', array(
'amount' => '25', //your amount
'item_name' => 'Some Item',
'item_number' => 'ItemNumber|UserId'
));

Then in your app_controller afterPaypalNotification callback just
parse out the userId

list($itemNumber, $user_id) = explode("|", $ipn['item_number']);

You get the idea.

Hope that helps,
Nick Baker
