[FX.php List] Anyone done a PHP integration w/ Paypal?

[Bob Patin]

Glyn,

Thanks for the email; I don’t think they want to use a hosted order page though… it’d certainly be easier for me, however. :)

I may offer that to them rather than trying to make sense of the REST example I’m trying to grok…
