PayPal IPN not working


I logged into my Sandbox account, Clicked on "Test Tools", then clicked on "Instant Payment Notification (IPN) Simulator."

I entered the address of my IPN Handler URL, and clicked "Send IPN".  The IPN was successfully sent.

BUT, my IPN listerner writes the following to the log file:
"9/3/2011 7:23:47 PM: Error in IPNHandler: amount = ""

IPN code is attached

Hello rrhandle8,

Payal IPN works in a background mode and it will take some time to update. It will update directly from Paypal Server.
You just need to set the IPNHandler Page URL in PayPal Account. And just write the Database Update function in the successfull result condition

All that is in place techChallenger1, except for the database.  I can run orders through my sandbox, and the IPN get notified, but always returns "INVALID".
