How to get the paypal buyer address on the return page using PHP

Question

I'm not getting the street address, state and city. I have using the below code to fetch the information:

<?php
if($_GET['tx']) $tx= $_GET['tx']; 
$identity = '1Y7reMOTMxCY66RFk.......................'; 
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, array ( CURLOPT_URL =>
    'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr', CURLOPT_POST => TRUE,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => http_build_query(array ('cmd' => '_notify-synch','tx' => $tx,
    'at' => $identity,)), CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, CURLOPT_HEADER => FALSE,
    CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,)); 
$response = curl_exec($ch); 
$status   = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); 
curl_close($ch); 
if( substr($response, 0, 7) == 'SUCCESS') 
{ 
$response = substr_replace($response, '', 0, 7); 
$response = str_replace(array("\n", "\r", "\r\n"), '&', $response);  
parse_str($response, $response_array);
} 
echo "<pre>"; print_r($response_array); ?>

Output:

Since its a button payment you need to make sure that the value for the variable
no_shipping in your button code is not set to 1 . If no_shipping=1 is passed you
will not get the shipping address back both in PDT as well as in IPN .

You can get the description for this variable on the below url :
