NYCPHP Meetup

[Jon Baer]

Sign up @ developer.paypal.com and do a search for IPN or Instant  
Payment Notification

Essentially from what I remember anytime payment is made (via normal  
purchase or subscription) your server is pinged.  The idea is then to  
calculate on your own if $user has made a payment for $month/$year, etc.
