so i have a flash cart component i bought that sends out paypal variables , i just need a correct .php script to receive and email the variables sent .  
heres paypals list of variables they use .  
[https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic\_std-variable-reference.html](https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_std-variable-reference.html)  
and this is the sad script im working with now , just to get something to show up :

```php
<?php
$sendTo = "chris@chrismeisner.com";
$subject = "work you bastard";
$message = $_POST["quantity"];
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

```
