REST API SDK for PHP

This repository contains PayPal's PHP SDK and samples for REST API.

Prerequisites

• PHP 5.3 or above
• curl, json & openssl extensions must be enabled
• composer for fetching dependencies (See http://getcomposer.org)

Running the sample

• Composer is the recommended way to get the SDK. Ensure that you have composer installed on your machine, navigate to the samples folder and run 'composer update --no-dev' to fetch the SDK.
• In case you cannot install composer on your machine, you can also fetch the SDK bundle from https://github.com/paypal/sdk-packages/raw/gh-pages/rest-api-sdk/php/rest-api-sdk-php-0.7.1.zip and unzip the bundle in to the samples folder.
• Optionally, update the bootstrap.php file with your own client Id and client secret.
• Run any of the samples in the 'samples' folder to see what the APIs can do.

Usage

To write an app that uses the SDK

• Copy the composer.json file from the sample folder over to your project and run 'composer update --no-dev' to fetch all dependencies.
• Copy the sample configuration file sdk_config.ini to a location of your choice and let the SDK know your config path using the following define directive.

    define('PP_CONFIG_PATH', /path/to/your/sdk_config.ini);

• Obtain your clientId and client secret from the developer portal. You will use them to create a OAuthTokenCredential object.
• Now you are all set to make your first API call. Create a resource object as per your need and call the relevant operation or invoke one of the static methods on your resource class.

    $apiContext = new ApiContext(new OAuthTokenCredential('<clientId>', '<clientSecret>'));
		
    $payment = new Payment();

    $payment->setIntent("Sale");

    ...

    $payment->create($apiContext);

      *OR*

    $payment = Payment::get('payment_id', $apiContext);

SDK Configuration

The samples in this repo pick the SDK configuration from the sdk_config.ini file. If you do not want to use an ini file or want to pick your configuration dynamically, you can use the $apiContext->setConfig() method to pass in the configuration as a hashmap. See the sample/bootstrap.php file for an example.
