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 running the sample out of the box (See http://getcomposer.org)
## Running the sample
* Ensure that you have composer installed on your machine.
* Navigate to the samples folder and run 'composer update --no-dev'.
* 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.
```php
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.
```php
$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.
