How to pay users using PayPal and PHP

[Maccaday]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a multi-levelled affiliate program, which will include making payments to people from many countries. I am thinking that the easiest way would be to pay everyone using PayPal. Obviously, I don't want to do this manually, but intend on sending an email to users when they have reached a certain amount, with a link to their account so they can transfer the amount that they want manually.

I want to write a script that will transfer a user-defined amount from the website's PayPal account to their account when the user presses on a button. Is this possible with PHP, or do I need to write a separate script in another language? I shan't need to have a Premium or Business account with PayPal, since I won't be accepting CC payments.

Any comments will be gratefully received.

php will be fine

paypal actually has information on this subject and provides a few pointers.

alternatly there are already plenty of apps available for that purpose.
