paypal - Weird return values to IPN since about a week ago -


we use fields called "item_name" , "item_number" in integration paypal convey details of ordered product.

recently i've been seeing paypal transactions return "shopping cart" in item_name, rather string posted paypal in field.

this behavior inconsistent, have logs show 5 transactions 1, 4 , 5 having missing item_name, , 2 , 3 having old item_name without issues whatsoever.

i've tried find out whether item_name deprecated appears still active, per https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/ipnandpdtvariables/

we not using shopping cart, we're using paypal payments standard. our paypal send code is:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" name="paypal"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="<?=$item_name; ?>"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="<?=$item_number; ?>">

the item_name , item_number can seen @ top of paypal pages user sees next.

could paypal please explain why there inconsistency in behavior, , whether it's problem paypal or forerunner of change wasn't aware of?

thank in advance help!
