Could anybody recommend a up-to-date class (or payment system) for handling paypal recurring payments with PHP?

Thank you!


UPDATE: I ended up using the PaypalNVP class by Peter Reisinger. Unfortunately, that was a very long time ago and I can't seem to locate it online (the readme and class files had no URL - just the name). If you can find it, that's a great class and I highly recommend it.

Paypal provides a very nice code snippet for processing paypal transactions, then it's just a matter of setting up a cron job that pulls from a DB what transactions to process.

If you have the freedom to pick a gateway, pick one that provides recurring billing services and APIs to us them. I know authorize.net does.

You really, really, really, don't want to store credit card information. Really.

If you want to do a "save my information" kind of thing, find a vendor that supports storing the card details for you. Braintree does this, and I'm sure other vendors do as well.

Braintree also provides a PHP library: http://bit.ly/braintree-php . Disclosure: I work for Braintree.

I'm just picking the answer with the most up-votes. See my update for what I actually ended up using. Thanks for the answer.

Just in case you are still interested in one. This one is working really great and extremely easy to implement:
