PayPal Payment Gateway Integration in PHP

Last modified on September 1st, 2020.

This tutorial will help you to integrate PayPal payment gateway using PHP with an example.

You will learn about three things today,

1. How to integrate PayPal payment gateway in your application and process payments.
2. What is PayPal IPN, why you should use it and an example implementation.
3. How to test PayPal payment gateway integration using PayPal sandbox.

PayPal provides different options to integrate the gateway like,

1. PayPal Payments Standard


2. Checkout
3. PayPal Commerce Platform
4. Recurring payments using PayPal Subscriptions
5. Payouts
6. Invoicing
7. Accept card payments
8. PayPal Pro

In this example, we will use “PayPal Payments Standard” method for integrating the paymen

Why not just consolidate into a multi-dimensional associative array? Seems like you are going about this wrong:

$codes = array('tn','us','fr');
$names = array('Tunisia','United States','France');

becomes:

$dropdown = array('tn' => 'Tunisia', 'us' => 'United States', 'fr' => 'France');

It's called an associative array, not a multidimensional array.

You can use array_merge to combine two arrays and then iterate over them.

$array1 = array("foo" => "bar");


$array2 = array("hello" => "world");
$both_arrays = array_merge((array)$array1, (array)$array2);
print_r($both_arrays);

All fully tested

3 ways to create a dynamic dropdown from an ar


This will create a dropdown menu from an array and automatically assign its respective value.

Method #1 (Normal Array)


<?php
$names = array('tn'=>'Tunisia','us'=>'United States','fr'=>'France');

echo '<select name="countries">';

foreach($names AS $let=>$word){
echo '<option value="'.$let.'">'.$word.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

?>

Method #2 (Normal Array)


<select name="countries">

<?php

$countries = array('tn'=> "Tunisia", "us"=>'United States',"fr"=>'France');


foreach($countries as $select=>$country_name){
echo '<option value="' . $select . '">' . $country_name . '</option>';
}
?>

</select>

Method #3 (Associative Array)


<?php

$my_array = array(
'tn' => 'Tunisia',
'us' => 'United States',
'fr' => 'France'
);

echo '<select name="countries">';


echo '<option value="none">Select...</option>';
foreach ($my_array as $k => $v) {
echo '<option value="' . $k . '">' . $v . '</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
?>

Walk it out...

$codes = array('tn','us','fr');
$names = array('Tunisia','United States','France');

PHP 5.3+

array_walk($codes, function ($code,$key) use ($names) {


echo '<option value="' . $code . '">' . $names[$key] . '</option>';
});

Before PHP 5.3

array_walk($codes, function ($code,$key,$names){


echo '<option value="' . $code . '">' . $names[$key] . '</option>';
},$names);

or combine

array_walk(array_combine($codes,$names), function ($name,$code){


echo '<option value="' . $code . '">' . $name . '</option>';
})

in select

array_walk(array_combine($codes,$names), function ($name,$code){


@$opts = '<option value="' . $code . '">' . $name . '</option>';
})
echo "<select>$opts</select>";

foreach only works with a single array. To step through multiple arrays, it's better to use the each() function in a

while(($code = each($codes)) && ($name = each($names))) {


echo '<option value="' . $code['value'] . '">' . $name['value'] . '</option>';
}

each() returns information about the current key and value of the array and increments the internal pointer by one

Instead of foreach loop, try this (only when your arrays have same length).

$number = COUNT($_POST["codes "]);//count how many arrays available


if($number > 0)
{
for($i=0; $i<$number; $i++)//loop thru each arrays
{
$codes =$_POST['codes'][$i];
$names =$_POST['names'][$i];
//ur code in here
}
}

I think that you can do something like:

$codes = array('tn','us','fr');

$names = array('Tunisia','United States','France');

foreach ($codes as $key => $code) {


echo '<option value="' . $code . '">' . $names[$key] . '</option>';
}

It should also work for associative arrays.

I think the simplest way is just to use the for loop this way:

$codes = array('tn','us','fr');
$names = array('Tunisia','United States','France');

for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($codes); $i++){


echo '<option value="' . $codes[$i] . '">' . $names[$i] . '</option>';
}

if(isset($_POST['doors'])=== true){
$doors = $_POST['doors'];
}else{$doors = 0;}

if(isset($_POST['windows'])=== true){
$windows = $_POST['windows'];
}else{$windows = 0;}

foreach($doors as $a => $b){


Now you can use $a for each array....

$doors[$a]
$windows[$a]
....
}

I solved a problem like yours by this way:

foreach(array_keys($idarr) as $i) {
echo "Student ID: ".$idarr[$i]."<br />";
echo "Present: ".$presentarr[$i]."<br />";
echo "Reason: ".$reasonarr[$i]."<br />";
echo "Mark: ".$markarr[$i]."<br />";
}

You should try this for the putting 2 array in singlr foreach loop Suppose i have 2 Array 1.$item_nm 2.$item_qty

`<?php $i=1; ?>


<table><tr><td>Sr.No</td> <td>item_nm</td> <td>item_qty</td> </tr>

@foreach (array_combine($item_nm, $item_qty) as $item_nm => $item_qty)


<tr>
<td> $i++ </td>
<td> $item_nm </td>
<td> $item_qty </td>
</tr></table>

@endforeach `

Few arrays can also be iterated like this:

foreach($array1 as $key=>$val){ // Loop though one array


$val2 = $array2[$key]; // Get the values from the other arrays
$val3 = $array3[$key];
$result[] = array( //Save result in third array
'id' => $val,
'quant' => $val2,
'name' => $val3,
);
}

This will only work if the both array have same count.I try in laravel, for inserting both array in mysql db

$answer = {"0":"0","1":"1","2":"0","3":"0","4":"1"};
$reason_id = {"0":"17","1":"19","2":"15","3":"19","4":"18"};

$k= (array)json_decode($answer);
$x =(array)json_decode($reason_id);
$number = COUNT(json_decode($reason_id, true));
if($number > 0)
{
for($i=0; $i<$number; $i++)
{
$val = new ModelName();
$val->reason_id = $x[$i];
$val->answer =$k[$i];
$val->save();
}
}

it works for me

$counter = 0;
foreach($codes as $code)
{
$codes_array[$counter]=$code;
$counter++;
}
$counter = 0;
foreach($names as $name)
{
echo $codes_array[$counter]."and".$name;
$counter++;
}

Your Answer
$error3 = $_REQUEST['address'];
$error4 = $_REQUEST['email'];
re going about this wrong:

n from an array.
se the each() function in a while loop:
the internal pointer by one, or returns false if it has reached the end of the array. This code would not be dependent upon the two arrays

ay 1.$item_nm 2.$item_qty
h array in mysql db
elp others understand how this addresses the question asked. You can find more information on how to write good answers in the help center.
