i'm using instawallet.org's api using php, and all the other stuff works. creating wallets, getting address from wallet id, and checking wallet balance... but sending payment has not gone too well. here's the script i use to send payments using the api:

Quote
$wallet = $tmpLabelData['labelID'];
$address = $_POST['addr'];
$ammount = "0.01";

$url = "https://www.instawallet.org/api/v1/w/$wallet/payment";
$postdata=array('address'=>$address,'amount'=>$amount);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Opera/9.23 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
exec('echo  "'.$result.'" > send_btc');

and here's the log for the error that occurs

{"successful":false,"message":"Sorry, this does not look like a valid Bitcoin address.","message_code":4}

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

The bitcoin address fails to validate, double-check it.

Your address failed to validate against the Bitcoin client.

Also your amount is wrong, it must be an integer value expressed in Satoshis. If you want to send 0.01 BTC you must send 0.01 * 10^8 (1000000).
