The ZendCon Sessions Episode 3: PayPal: New Solutions for PHP Developers
phpPaypalPro Version 0.2.0 Released
phpPaypalPro version 0.1.1 has been released
New PayPal SDK for PHP
Today, PayPal released version 4.0 of the PayPal PHP SDK. There's a number of new improvements. For one, it's easier to install – it relies solely on PHP. Just type "php install.php" and you're done. It also bundles all of the PEAR packages that it depends on. There's also tons of new samples that contain many features common to ecommerce integrations. There's a sample provided for just about every single API call.
Finally – and this will be a major relief for anyone who has tried to deploy PayPal's SDK on a shared host – the client-side SSL Certificates used for web service authentication are now optional. There's a second, new method of authentication based on a "Signature", which is basically just a unique string that you pass in along with your username & password. Makes life a lot easier for the developer…
