Using PHP to link user accounts to their purchases?

Hey everybody,

 

I'm a noob when it comes to PHP so I have a few questions.

 

I'm in the planning stages for a new website and I need it to do something but I'm not sure how. People would have to log into my website in order to make a purchase and I need to be able to link their account with the software they bought. Think of it like a bit like Steam, you buy the game and its right there in your library.

 

The way I see it working is they buy their software and when they look in their profile they see a list of the stuff they've bought and have the ability to open it.

 

The Ecommerce company I'm looking to sign up with to make the transactions and keep the money side of it in order (FastSpring) don't have a way of tracking user purchases  so I have to come up with a way of doing my end.

 

What I would like to know is what language is best to do this? I assume PHP would be the best especially considering the website itself is likely to be built in WordPress.

 

Secondly does anybody have any links to articles, videos or tutorials on this as I have not been able to find any all afternoon. I know they're going to be out there but I'm not having any luck finding them

 

Thanks for your time
