processing data output from cURL

Question

The following data in the $res verbal is output from cURL and I am trying to use it to make the following script to work. But it does not processes the data at all. I have checked it an $lines[0] has SUCCESS in it as the first line. It should output the rest of the data but it doesn't.Any body have any ideas on how ti fix this. Or is it because I am not processing the data through cURL to test this. I what to make the script work perfect before I make it live. cURL pules the data from PayPal as pdt and PayPals sandbox is crap

$res = "SUCCESS 
transaction_subject=Subscribe+to+Notary+Accounting 
payment_date=16%3A29%3A09+May+24%2C+2014+PDT
txn_type=subscr_payment

if(!$res){
    //HTTP ERROR
}else{

     // parse the data
    $lines = explode("\n", $res);
    $keyarray = array();
    if (strcmp ($lines[0], "SUCCESS") == 0) {
        for ($i=1; $i<count($lines);$i++){
        list($key,$val) = explode("=", $lines[$i]);
        $keyarray[urldecode($key)] = urldecode($val);

    }

    $firstname = $keyarray['first_name'];
    $lastname = $keyarray['last_name'];
    $itemname = $keyarray['item_name'];
    $amount = $keyarray['payment_gross'];

    echo ("<p><h3>Thank you for your purchase!</h3></p>");

    echo ("<b>Payment Details</b><br>\n");
    echo ("<li>Name: $firstname $lastname</li>\n");
    echo ("<li>Item: $itemname</li>\n");
    echo ("<li>Amount: $amount</li>\n");
    echo ("");
    }
    else if (strcmp ($lines[0], "FAIL") == 0) {
        echo(' log for manual investigation');
    }
}

its a known paypal issue you need to remove some white space from the first response line like so:

if (strcmp (trim($lines[0]), "SUCCESS") == 0) {

I can't believe all it took was adding trim. You say its a known paypal issue. Does paypal know about this

well if they do, they haven't fixed it, since they introduced it ;(

afaik, this is a quirk of using the http 1.1 chuncked transfers - not directly being related to PP
