Paypal payment gateway integration in codeigniter with source code

We will create payment gateway integration in Codeigniter. We need to download the PayPal payment gateway library for Codeigniter. And place this library into your Codeigniter project.

Explanation of the following few methods:
1. index() this method would fetch and display the product information.
2. buyProudct() this method helps to generate the PayPal form and redirect buyer to the PayPal site once the Buy button is clicked.
3. success() this method will be used to display transaction data after successful payment.
4. cancel() this method is requested when the user cancels the payment.
5. ipn() this method receives transaction data by PayPal IPN and inserts the transaction data into the database.
