NVP And A Curl Wrapper
PayPal's Mobile Checkout API in June 2009 was NVP, name-value pairs: you built a request as a query string, sent it, and parsed a query string back. So I wrote a Curl wrapper, and then a set of methods so I didn't have to deal with the raw pairs.
That's this library: a PHP wrapper over Mobile Checkout, the Curl layer under it, and an example file. I made sure it ran standalone or inside Caffeine Engine and Zend Framework, so you didn't have to use my framework to use it.
June 2009 was when CharityCall went live, taking donations of $25, $50 or $75 from a phone, and mobile checkout was how that worked. I built it for that and then pulled it out into its own library, which is something I did a lot back then.
