I have implemented an online payment system for my website. When a user selects a booking, the payment amount and name of that booking is stored in a link which points to paypal. I then use the php "header" function to direct the user to paypal. What I want to know is if there is any way for me to know whether the user did submit payment, and if so, direct them to a page after payment where I can check for a booking id variable and then update that record in the booking tables.
Heres the link I'm using to go to paypal:

Many thanks,
Karl.

PayPal's IPN Feature is one of the sure ways you know you were paid.
