Here's what I'm trying to do: Basically, I'm trying to make an arcade site where you pay upfront from Paypal. So the user can go in and buy a month membership to use play games on the arcade console which expires at the end on the month in which the user would have to pay again at the beginning on the month. (I don't do that automatic withdrawl stuff.) Now what happens when the user pays is that their IP address gets added to a database and they can play games. (I have a policy of games running only on one machine at a time to avoid excessive use by having too many people on the account. At the end of the month all IP addresses of people who haven't payed are removed by some cron job. Here is my question. Does anyone know the Paypal API and how I could interface with it to allow the user to make a payment from my site and then trigger IP address addition to the database? Need help, please.

Dude, what the hell? You go and downvote all 3 of my posts, and apparently everyone else's, because you don't actually want to listen to any of the advice you asked for?

I'm taking a mental note not to offer you any more help, and if this is what you do I'd encourage others to do the same. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Could you post some example code? I could like to see that. I'm not in a hurry to build the store but would like to see code of how to use the Paypal api. I'm new to this e-commerce stuff.

Could you post some example code?

There's sample code (along with diagrams and detailed explanations of the API) in the PayPal developer page frob linked to in the first reply. Anything beyond that is really specific to the website in question.

If you have specific questions about the API I'm sure we could help, but if you just want to see generic example code you really need to look at the documentation you've already been linked to.
