如何配置PayPal PHP SDK

Question

I am making an eCommerce store with the PayPal PHP SDK and I am having difficulties configuring the SDK. In the documentation , it says to use a dedicated config file you have to define the path of it with this line:

    define('PP_CONFIG_PATH', /path/to/your/sdk_config.ini);

I am confused about where I would put that line. Does it need to be in every class that uses the API, or just one central place?

PS I noticed in the samples that they used the alternative way of configuring the SDK; use a setConfig() method. However, I only found this used in the sample/bootstrap.php file in the repoisitory. So my question is the same: What would be the use-case of either of those two methods? I am probably missing what I am looking for in the SDK repository , but I thought I would ask people who have done this before.

Answer 1

If you set your define rule on top of your eCommerce software config file, it will be available to the Paypal SDK.

define d values are usually globally accessible by any file includ ing the original.
