Can somebody please explain bitaddress.org? I see it generates addresses. Couldn't I just use their source to allow my webhost (heck, even a free one!) to generate an address whenever a user signs up, and save in a DB somewhere that bitcoin address and the private key? Then when I want to spend bitcoins, I just import the private keys into my local machine and POOF, tons of coins?

And also, one more thing, how do I import the private key into my wallet? Do I just copy it into wallets.dat? (My wallets.dat file is encrypted, so I doubt that would work).

Thanks!

This is essentially what I want to do, only I don't see how I could possibly do such a thing using only normal (and cheap) webhosting services.

I'd still like input as to whether you think making like 1000 addresses manually, on my computer, then making a huge list of them on my webhost, and assigning each new user to one, then using one of these sites as a way of monitoring transfer(s) to that e-wallet, would be a good way of doing it. Remember, I only have PHP and Mysql available to work with.

Also: How about the blockchain.info services? They claim they have ways to make it work for 0 fees, except they always seem to charge 1.5% even if I dissable the "anonymous payment" option.

I've actually been using bitcoin (for making payments) for a while now. Now I want to integrate it in one of my scripts

I saw the API, but that requires (if I'm understanding it correctly) command line access to the machine as well as additional tools being installed. Which means, the more I think about it, my goal is fairly unrealistic. Maybe my best bet is to simply create a bunch (like a ton) of extra address on my own machine (manually), copy the list of addresses to my server, so each new user for the next X users gets a single address on my computer associated with it, then use blockchain.info to verify payments were made? That seems a bit roundabout... but ya gotta do what y a gotta do.

Here is my dilemma. I have read up a bunch, but somehow, I still haven't been able to figure out if its possible to create a PHP bitcoin wallet where I can do the following:
-Check if I received payments dynamically.
-Send payments dynamically.
-Create new addresses dynamically.

 

I have the following resources available:
-A C-Panel server with MySql and PHP.
-An okayish amount of experience with PHP/Mysql

Obviously I would forward all payments from my wallet on the server to my personal wallet within seconds, so it doesn't really matter if it is some kind of non-persistent stored-in-memory wallet that will be screwed by a crash/shutdown.

Any tips? So far, all I've been able to find is a bunch of services that offer to do this FOR me, and how to use those services. What I really want is to do it by myself
