QuickBooks integration support for PHP 5.x+

The package you've downloaded contains code and documentation for connecting various versions and editions of QuickBooks to PHP, allowing your PHP applications to do fancy things like:

• Automatically send orders placed on your website to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks for Windows
• Charge credit cards using Intuit Payments / QuickBooks Merchant Services
• Connect to QuickBooks v3 APIs via OAuth
• Get access to QuickBooks reports
• Pull information out of QuickBooks and display it online
• Connect to all Microsoft Windows versions of QuickBooks
• Connect to all QuickBooks Online versions
• Authenticate via OAuth
• etc. etc. etc.

Almost anything you can do in the QuickBooks GUI, in QuickBooks Online Edition, and with QuickBooks Merchant Service can be accomplished via this framework.
