Paypal Mass Payment NVP API - - php

Question

I'm trying to use Paypal Mass Payment API with this code, but I get no answer. Not an error message or success message, just blank screen.
I saved this code to a file 'paypal.php' and uploaded it to my server. I'm trying to test the code and if I can make it work I'll use it inside Wordpress, to monthly mass pay teachers of a LMS.

The vars $API_UserName, $API_Password, $API_Signature are correctly provided in the original code.

It seems that some issues with the code . I have corrected some errors and you can use the below code :

$vEmailSubject = 'Pagamento Paypal';

// For testing environment: use 'sandbox' option. Otherwise, use 'live'.
