Getting transaction details

[shanthini]

I am using paypal IPN. Tested the integration by using credit card option (not using buyer account). This is working fine. After successful payment I am getting the transaction id in query string (as http://www.xxx.com/success/?amt=18.00&cc=USD&st=Completed&tx=61P53967MP376781N).  But if I try to get the transaction id as a post variable this is not working. I used both $_POST["tx"] and $_POST["txn_id"] but they return only empty value.

Please suggest

• Can we get the transaction id using POST method
• Also after successful payment (using credit card) couldn't get mails. Can we get mails in paypal sandbox

Thanks
