Wrong forum. I assume you want to ask in the coldfusion forum.

I see it "New Thread". I reported your post yesterday and thought it would have been moved to the coldfusion forum, but I guess no moderators are on the job.

Which cfc are you referring to? Also, what exactly do you want to do in Paypal?

You still haven't posted what you've done so far.

If you haven't yet started, check the APIs.

You'd have to convert the Java or PHP to Coldfusion. Since there's no sample code for Coldfusion, you'll have to write it yourself using the guide/documentation.

Does it work with the sandbox? Even with a local site, as long as you have access to the Internet, the code should be the same.
