I wrote a class for PayPal that I’ve been keeping up with over the years and haven’t really passed it around too much.  I started using CodeIgniter recently so I converted this class to a CI library and figured I might as well go ahead and hand it out and see what people think.

Here’s a quick demo on how to use it and a download link:  http://www.angelleye.com/demo/codeigniter/. 

The library includes everything that the PayPal NVP has as well as their Authentication and Permissions API’s.  There are methods for every call PayPal has available and array templates for requests that include every possible request parameter available with each call.  All you have to do is fill in the empty fields and the library handles the rest.

Let me know what you think. This is the first thing I’ve ever really released.

I will test it soon.
Thank you Angelleye,
Giorgio

There are some demos and the instructions are pretty simple but I don’t have much other documentation yet, so if you have any questions just let me know.

Great work Angell EYE. Will be needing this one in a few weeks, so you’re right on time.

angelleye, do you have a demo for ExpressCheckout?

angelleye, do you have a demo for ExpressCheckout?

Not specifically, no, but the calls that you’ll be working with are:

1) SetExpressCheckout
2) GetExpressCheckoutDetails (if necessary)
3) DoExpressCheckoutPayment

PayPal provides lots of good documentation on Express Checkout, but if you need more direct help I’d be happy to schedule a quick demonstration with you.

Thanks for showing me the necessary steps.

At the end of SetExpressCheckout i did a redirect:  header(‘Location: ‘.$PayPalResult[‘REDIRECTURL’]);
After paypal I confirmed the payment on my site, using GetExpressCheckoutDetails, and at step 3, I read the payment data to do DoExpressCheckoutPayment with GetExpressCheckoutDetails.
It’s not so elegant, but it works.
