how to set up recurring billing for paypal payment yii?

Question

My sites's functionality is of member subscription -monthly/annually and i want automated paypal payments(recurring).

I have used "easyPayPal yii extension" for Paypal payments on my site, its running fine for one time payments but I want to add support for recurring payments in it and i don't have much idea about it as I am a newbie to Paypal integration and using yii.

so was hoping if someone can help me out. I have posted link to the extension I have used and also the Paypal response I get on successful payment of transaction.

extension link that i have used http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/easypaypal/

Response from paypal on transaction success:

/*

You can find good REST API API library here . It is well documented and it is working fine. It supports recurring payments too.
