user6289: I'm having some real trouble setting up the Blockchain API on my server
First off is it possible to test it offline with local host?
Secondly, how do I set it up so when a tx is made through my site, it runs a php function to update a database with certain values 
Has anyone successfully set up the API before and if so could they please walk me through how I would do it
Thanks 

user14281: It is possible to test it offline. Check your phpinfo() to confirm, but I perform operations with the blockchain API from my XAMPP server all the time, as I am currently working on a site that uses the API. All you're doing is sending a request to a URL (like when you loaded this page) and getting the contents of that file. If you're interested, check out this class I wrote for using the blockchain API with PHP: https://github.com/lukesims/Blockchain-API-PHP-Class
With that, you could ad more functions or modify it to interact with your database simultaneously.
