I am trying to implement the relevant parts of a payment system (by Paymill) into my plain PHP website. The problem is that the example project I am trying to learn from is not only coded in PHP OOP and MVC (I'm new to both concepts), but most probably in a framework, maybe in Symfony with so many dependencies that I find it hard to retrace the flow and single out the relevant parts (the payment process) for my own project. The login procedure alone jumps around between model-, view- and controller-files and -classes in a way that, if visualized, it would easily fill a DIN A4-sheet!

I would thus like to visualize the complete flow to gain a better overview and understanding of the project.

My questions are:

  1. is this a good approach?
  2. if yes: is there a way to have Netbeans visualize the flow automatically rather than me spending hours running through line by line in XDebug and draw the flow between the files / classes myself?

Many thanks in advance!

The example project you are referring to is quite complex because it deals with subscriptions. Also the example is for the v2 API of PAYMILL. In the meantime a v2.1 was released, which significantly improves subscription handling. If you want a simple example in plain PHP you should better start with the example projects: https://github.com/paymill/paymill-payment-form https://github.com/paymill/paymill-paybutton-examples

They contain a HTML part(s) and a corresponding plain PHP that handles the payment on the server side (e.g. payment.php) . These projects should make your introduction to PAYMILL much easier. If you want to build a more complex logic afterwards, for example a complex subscription handling, you can move on the the subscription example.
