How to send money to paypal using php -

i have stored customers paypal email address in database , want send them money using email address. using php.

anyone please suggest how that.

i looking same issue, here's working me. tested in 'sandbox' mode , using nvp (instead of soap). server must support curl, in order verify use:

<?php echo 'curl extension/module loaded/installed: '; echo ( !extension_loaded('curl')) ? 'no' : 'yes'; echo "<br />\n"; phpinfo(info_modules); // sure ?> 

if not loaded or installed ask hostmaster or get here, otherwise go ahead:
