PayPal IPN with standart button says that result is invalid - php

Question

I don't know why am I getting INVALID result, while everything works fine with IPN simulator.
IPNSampleCode.php
<?php
// STEP 1: Read POST data
// reading posted data from directly from $_POST causes serialization
// issues with array data in POST
// reading raw POST data from input stream instead.
$raw_post_data = file_get_contents('php://input');
$raw_post_array = explode('&', $raw_post_data);
$myPost = array();
foreach ($raw_post_array as $keyval) {
$keyval = explode ('=', $keyval);
if (count($keyval) == 2)
$myPost[$keyval[0]] = urldecode($keyval[1]);
}
// read the post from PayPal system and add 'cmd'
$req = 'cmd=_notify-validate';
if(function_exists('get_magic_quotes_gpc')) {
$get_magic_quotes_exists = true;
}
foreach ($myPost as $key => $value) {
if($get_magic_quotes_exists == true && get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1) {
$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
} else {
$value = urlencode($value);
}
$req .= "&$key=$value";
}
// STEP 2: Post IPN data back to paypal to validate
$ch = curl_init('https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'); // change to [...]sandbox.paypal[...] when using sandbox to test
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);

if( !($res = curl_exec($ch)) ) {
// error_log("Got " . curl_error($ch) . " when processing IPN data");
curl_close($ch);
exit;
}
curl_close($ch);
// STEP 3: Inspect IPN validation result and act accordingly
echo $res;
if (strcmp ($res, "VERIFIED") == 0) {

When I has been creating my button, I added IPN code url into a finish field.
Maybe I don't have to use button, what then should I use? Thanks for help.

Answer 1

looks good, but try this when looking for a verified:
...
if (strcmp (trim($res), "VERIFIED") == 0) {
...
the payload may contain carriage return and line feed characters when using HTTP 1.1
