The PayPal API revisited
Speaker:
Christopher Kunz (Filoo GmbH)
In the last months, PayPal Inc. has had a very successful launch in numerous European countries, attracting a total of 57 million users world-wide. PayPal offers a WSDL-based API to their seller back-end that faciliates interaction with the paying process. There is, however, very little sample code in PHP. This presentation presents a working testbed application and discusses ways to query the API.
Commercial PHP Web Services
Speaker:
Laura Thomson (RMIT University)
PHP5 has very good XML and web services support, so it is time to move past simple examples that demonstrate that the concept works.

Real businesses are conducting real transactions through this mechanism, and some of them encourage you to do business with them.
